Electronics Applications Course - Arduino Fundamentals

---

This session marked the transition from pure hardware to embedded systems. The instructing team introduced the Arduino Uno platform as the "brain" that controls electronic components. The session covered the installation of the Arduino IDE, understanding the basic structure of C++ sketches (setup and loop functions), and defining pins as inputs or outputs. The goal was to show students that hardware and software are not separate fields; they must work together seamlessly to create modern technological solutions.

Key Actionable Outcomes:

• First Code Execution: Every student successfully wrote, compiled, and uploaded the "Blink" sketch to control an external LED, proving their software could physically manipulate hardware.

Digital Logic Integration: Explained how microcontrollers read data. For example, programming the Arduino to read a digital HIGH/LOW signal from a push-button to turn a system on or off.
