Introduction to Arduino

Arduino is an open hardware using an open software useful for future engineers

The objectives are:

1. To learn by doing examples included in the arduino software under the tab file/examples
2. To understand Arduino codes from other sources, e.g. Dr.Simon Monk book and github code resources
3. To create new codes from examples and starting from scratch
4. To understand the types of variables in Arduino: int(integers numbers), float(floating point numbers),long(long numbers), double(very long numbers), char(characters), String(words), byte(very small numbers), etc
5. To expand the possibilities of Arduino software by using the Processing software
6. To expand even more the creativity using Arduino with examples from specific libraries of Processing: nyar4psg for augmented reality, BlobDetection and openCV both for computer vision
7. To use a different approach to Arduino by using not the previous Java type libraries of Processing but instead using JavaScript, namely: p5.js, ml5.js, express.js, node.js, johnny5.js,firmata, etc
8. To create innovative projects using all the previous knowledge
