What is Arduino?

Arduino is a microcontroller platform ideal for beginners and makers. It’s used to build interactive hardware projects with sensors, motors, lights, and more.

Project Ideas

• Automatic plant watering system
• Motion-based lights
• Temperature-controlled fan

How It Works

You write simple C/C++ code in the Arduino IDE. The board interacts with connected components via analog/digital pins.

IoT Potential

While basic Arduino lacks Wi-Fi, you can use shields or boards like ESP8266 for cloud communication via MQTT.

Internal & External Resources

Pair with sensor integration and learn from the official Arduino Documentation.
