Chapter 3: Arduino Programming

  • How to write code in C language and use the Arduino syntax?
  • How to use variables, operators, and data types to store and manipulate data?
  • How to use control structures, such as if, else, for, while, and switch, to control the flow of your program?
  • How to use functions, parameters, and return values to organize and reuse your code?
  • How to use libraries and include statements to access additional features and functions?

Chapter 4: Arduino Sensors

  • How to use different types of sensors, such as temperature, humidity, light, sound, motion, and more, to measure and interact with the environment?
  • How to use analogRead, digitalRead, and map functions to read sensor values and convert them to meaningful units?
