These video series aims to demonstrate the process of working with the Arduino platform, from making electrical connections with components and programming the Arduino microcontroller to turn inputs into outputs.
From these fundamentals, you’ll be able to build a wide variety of projects. Module 1 will show you the absolute basics before Module 2 will show you how to work with different components you might need for your project.
The Arduino Project Hub is a community driven platform for anyone around the world to show off their projects. This is a great place to be inspired and learn tips and tricks from others!
Projects can range from cheap DIY drones, replacements TV remotes, Robot arms to making your pet Cactus yell at you to give it water.
Our team in the UNSW Makerspace Network also run online and in person training sessions!
These classes will talk you through the basics that are taught in the videos and more! At the end of the sessions, you will be experimenting and testing your code by moving an Arduino powered robot arm!
