DIY Lab Equipment with Arduino - Part 1: The Basics

This course is the first part of a series intended to understand Arduino microcontrollers and their sensors and off-shelf components and APPLY them in building lab equipment. This is the first part of the series where you get to know Arduino its similar board, ESP32. We will also go through the basics of the programming language and the common electronic components needed. We will jump quickly to the applications in making useful equipment. 

The course is not intended to give you a deep understanding of electronics or programming and coding. Instead, it will give you a brief explanation, using as plain language as possible, sufficient to let you understand what we are doing and how to benefit from the huge amount of examples and support available online. 

Arduino is open-source hardware. It is programming software that is also free and open source. The internet is full of examples and discussions. We do not intend to start coding from scratch. However, we will teach you where to find suitable resources and how to use them in your application.

If you are looking for quick application and customization of your experimental setup, this course suits you perfectly. If you are new to this field, this course is also suitable for you.
