Arduino Programming and Interfacing
Arduino Programming and Interfacing is a foundational skill in physical computing that involves writing code, typically in a simplified C/C++ environment, to control an Arduino microcontroller. This process enables the creation of interactive electronic projects by "interfacing," or connecting, the Arduino board with a vast range of external components, including sensors to gather data from the physical world (like temperature or light) and actuators to perform actions (like spinning a motor or lighting an LED). As a key building block for the Internet of Things (IoT), mastering Arduino allows developers to rapidly prototype and build the intelligent hardware at the core of smart, connected devices that sense, process, and interact with their environment.
