In Detail

An Arduino might be a tiny computer, but it can be used as the foundation for a huge range of projects. In this course, we'll demonstrate some Arduino projects. From robotics to secret agent gadgets, we're pretty confident that this course will get you thinking creatively and inspire you to create your very own new projects using the Arduino hacking skills you learn.

This course combines both text and video content; it's made up of three modules to help organize your learning. In the first module, we'll show you how to build three different Arduino projects. All of these will not only get you up and running with something practical; they'll also help you better understand how the Arduino works. Find out how to develop a home automation system and even build a robot!

In the second module, we'll go one step further to help you get creative as you learn how to program LEDs with your Arduino. You'll learn how to build a mood lamp and a remote-controlled TV backlight before moving on to create a sound-controlled LED Christmas tree that utilizes sound visualization.

Finally, the third module takes you from stylish design to espionage as you learn how to create neat secret agent gadgets with your Arduino. Discover how to build an alarm system, install a fingerprint sensor, or even unlock a lock with a text message. And that's not all—but to find out more, you'll have to dive in!
