Getting Started with Arduino using C

Arduino is one of the most popular Open-Source Hardware Platform for all types of Computer Enthusiast. There is no hard and fast rule for learning Arduino but some basic concepts of programming languages like C and C++ required.

We know the Arduino Community is huge and increasing day by day. There are lots of people who love it they are not computer genius or expert in programming. They are hobbyists, Enthusiasts, and tech lovers.

Let’s come to the point and talk about Arduino, As we know Arduino has different boards for different purposes and have specifications. But we are going to get started with Arduino Uno.

Arduino Uno is one of the most popular board, it has D0 -D13 total 14 Digital Pins and A0 — A5 total 6 Analog Pins to communicate with different Actuators and Sensors.

3 Steps then see the Magic

Step 1: Setup

If you have not installed the Arduino IDE then first you should have to install from the official site. Follow the video which guides to install Arduino IDE in Windows and Linux.

Step 2: Code

Step 3: Wiring

Finally, you have programmed the tiny machine, now it’s time to wiring with your machine.

So the required components are:

• Arduino Uno
• Breadboard
• LEDs
• Some Jumper Wire

If you have not such components and want just check your program then you could plug LEDs directly to your Board but this is no a better way.
