Walkthrough

Five new README documentation files added to an Arduino learning projects repository. The main README provides project overviews and getting started guidance, while project-specific READMEs document four Arduino projects covering LED control, distance sensing, traffic simulation, and loop patterns.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
Main Project Documentation
README.md
New comprehensive guide with project overviews, prerequisites, installation steps, learning path, and additional resources for Arduino learning projects.
Lesson-Based Projects
learning/lesson1/README.md, learning/lesson2/README.md
New lesson READMEs documenting button-controlled LED (digital I/O basics) and for-loop LED sequence (loop control with 6 LEDs) projects.
Advanced Arduino Projects
learning/led_distance/README.md, learning/stop_light/README.md
New project READMEs for distance indicator with NeoPixel feedback and traffic light with crosswalk simulator, including hardware requirements, circuit diagrams, configuration, and troubleshooting.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 1 (Trivial) | ⏱️ ~5 minutes

Changes consist solely of documentation additions with no code logic, public API modifications, or implementation details requiring technical review. Content is descriptive and informational in nature.

Poem

🐰 Welcome, young makers, to circuits and light,
Where buttons and LEDs dance through the night!
From distance sensors to traffic so bright,
This learning path guides every learner right.

20-22: Minor redundancy: "pin numbers" can be simplified to "pins".

Line 21 uses "pin numbers" which is slightly redundant. Consider simplifying to "pins" for more concise prose.

- Demonstrates the use of for loops to control multiple LEDs in sequence. The sketch lights up 6 LEDs in order from low to high pin numbers, then reverses the pattern.

85-88: Improve professionalism of Contributing section.

Line 87 uses "Feel free to" which, while friendly, could be more direct and professional. Consider a more assertive tone.
