Step 1: Understand What Arduino Is

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.


It consists of:

• A microcontroller board (like Arduino Uno, Nano, or Mega).


• The Arduino IDE (a coding environment to upload code to the board).
• A vast community of resources and projects.

What You Need to Begin


Basic Components:

• Arduino board (Uno is a good starting point)


• USB cable (to connect board to computer)
• Breadboard
• Jumper wires
• LEDs, resistors, buttons, sensors, etc.

Software:

• Download and install the Arduino IDE: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software

Step 2: First Project – Blink an LED


This is the classic beginner project:

Code (Blink):
cpp
CopyEdit
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set digital pin 13 as output
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn LED on
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn LED off
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}

Upload it:

1. Open Arduino IDE.


2. Copy-paste the code.
3. Select your board and port from the Tools menu.
4. Click Upload (the right arrow).

You should see the onboard LED start blinking!

# Suggested Learning Path


"
!
1. Blink an LED
2. Use a button to turn on an LED
3. Control LED brightness with a potentiometer
4. Read data from sensors (temperature, light)
5. Control motors
6. Use LCD or OLED displays
7. Explore IoT with WiFi modules (like ESP8266 or ESP32)
