Arduino

Arduino is a popular open-source hardware and software platform that allows individuals to create and control electronic devices. It consists of a microcontroller board and a development environment that enables users to write and upload code to the board.

During the school year, I had the opportunity to work on various circuits using Arduino. These circuits ranged from simple projects to more complex ones, each designed to enhance my understanding of electronics and programming. Some of the projects involved integrating Bluetooth modules to establish communication with programmed applications.

One of the circuits I worked on was a digital counter with a 7-segment display. This project helped me grasp the fundamentals of digital input and output, as well as basic arithmetic operations. Another project involved creating a Christmas tree with LED lights, where I learned about controlling multiple LEDs using Arduino's digital pins and programming patterns for the lights to create various visual effects. I also developed an instrument that could produce different sounds using Arduino and a piezo buzzer. This project allowed me to explore analog input and output, as well as the concept of generating specific frequencies to create musical tones. Arduino provided me with a hands-on experience in electronics and programming, allowing me to bring my ideas to life and learn through experimentation. It serves as a versatile platform for prototyping and realizing various projects, fostering creativity and innovation in the field of electronics and automation.
