“What we can do with Arduino is only limited by our imagination!” LEVEL 1

The best way to understand if this course is really for you is by asking yourself a few basic questions:

  • Do you like building “things” by yourself?

  • Are you looking for ways to easily combine software and hardware components?

  • Did you ever wonder how electronic devices are really working?

  • Do you have some creative idea and you just looking for ways to easily prototype it?

  • Would you be excited to monitor and control the physical world with a software program that you created?

  • Would you like to join the growing worldwide wave of Internet of Things Makers?

If the answer is “YES” for most of the questions above then you just landed in the right place. Arduino is probably one of the most amazing developments and prototyping platform today with endless possibilities for Do-It-Yourself Makers looking for ways to express their creative mind and technical capabilities. 

It is really up to us, we can build simple and fun projects to very complex autonomous systems that can interact with users and help us to better bridge between the physical and the digital worlds. 

This course is a starting point as part of a larger comprehensive training program divided into levels that are all about Arduino and the eco-system around it. Each course covers a specific group of subjects to let you develop and grow your skills in a step-by-step pace while enjoying the long journey.

Are you ready to start being “Crazy” about Arduino....?  ;-)

A Good intro course with a lot of detailed explanations. The instructor gives also some ressources with the course like schematics and source codes. For the schematics, you will need to get Fritzing to be able to open them. I can't wait to take part 2 of this course!

Great course, thank you. I have been considering Arduino for maybe 2 years and regret not starting sooner. It is incredible how much easier things are when people explain them from scratch. My money was well spent.

The course is very good, teacher explained all classes very well. English Subtitles much comprensive. A lot of news for me, debounce correction by software was very interesting.

This course is interesting and engaging. The Instructor's accent was difficult to understand at first, but his competency is clear and the course was instructive.

Gave me basic idea on what is Arduino Uno is and how to use it. He knows the subject. Instructor has an accent but with subtitle it's not so hard to catchup. Problem starts when we implement real projects. He is too fast and real beginners won't be able to understand anything. I suppose he should first start with small single LED project instead of jumping into a comparatively complex project for a beginner.

The information is good and well-organized. However the presentation quality leaves a bit to be desired. The audio quality is rather poor: in some sections it seems as if the microphone connection is bad so that the signal is broken, in much of the rest, the microphone is too close to the speaker's mouth so that the signal is distorted and certain sounds "pop".
