Overview

Arduino Simulation And Block Coding is a comprehensive course that teaches practical embedded systems development using Arduino. This repository contains the course materials, code examples, circuit diagrams, and additional resources to help you master the concepts covered in the video lessons.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the core concepts and principles of Arduino development
• Implement practical projects using the provided code examples
• Design and build circuits as shown in the course
• Debug and troubleshoot common issues
• Extend the examples to create your own projects

Hardware & Components

The following components are typically required for this course:

• Arduino development board
• Various sensors and actuators (see CIRCUIT.md for details)
• Jumper wires and breadboard
• USB cable for programming
• Power supply (if needed)

For detailed component lists and specifications, please refer to the course videos and CIRCUIT.md.

Setup Instructions

1. Install Development Tools

   • Install Arduino IDE, PlatformIO, or your preferred development environment
   • Install necessary board support packages and libraries

2. Clone Repository

   git clone https://github.com/engasm89/arduino-simulation-and-block-coding.git
   cd arduino-simulation-and-block-coding

3. Hardware Setup

   • Review CIRCUIT.md for wiring diagrams
   • Connect components according to the circuit diagram
   • Double-check all connections before powering on

4. Upload Code

   • Open the *.c or *.ino file in your IDE
   • Select the correct board and port
   • Upload the code to your development board

5. Monitor Output

   • Open the serial monitor to view program output
   • Set baud rate as specified in the code (typically 9600 or 115200)

Code Structure

The repository contains the following files:

• *.c or *.ino - Main source code with comprehensive comments
• README.md - This file, containing course overview and setup instructions
• CIRCUIT.md - Circuit diagrams and wiring instructions (if applicable)
• LICENSE - MIT License for the code

Usage Examples

Basic Usage

# Compile and run (for desktop testing)
gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c11 *.c -o demo && ./demo

# Or upload via Arduino IDE for hardware execution

Customization

• Modify pin assignments in the code to match your hardware setup
• Adjust sensor thresholds and timing parameters as needed
• Extend functionality by adding new features

Troubleshooting

Code won't upload:

• Check USB cable connection
• Verify correct board and port selection
• Ensure drivers are installed

No serial output:

• Verify baud rate matches code settings
• Check serial monitor is open
• Ensure code is running (check onboard LED if available)

Hardware not responding:

• Double-check wiring against CIRCUIT.md
• Verify power supply is adequate
• Test components individually

Additional Resources

• Course on Udemy
• GitHub Repository
