It's no secret that Arduino is the go-to resource for inventors, artists, programmers, and designers alike who want to create a compelling interactive object. Comprised of a user-friendly circuit board and software that can run on your home computer, the open-source platform makes electronics prototyping ultra-accessible, even for complete novices. 

Whether you've got a whopping zero hours of Arduino experience or want to take your understanding of it from intermediate to expert, the Arduino Bootcamp will help you learn by walking you through more than a dozen projects from scratch.

Instructor Lee Assam has more than 18 years of programming, development, and IT experience, as well as a passion for Arduino that translates across 50-plus lectures and nearly 10 hours of in-depth content. As someone who's been toying around with the Arduino and the Raspberry Pi platforms since their origins, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who's more capable of making Arduino lessons both fun and informative.

Under Assam's guidance, you'll learn how to build 15 nifty Arduino projects from the ground up starting with lessons in basic knowledge like installing the Arduino IDE. Eventually, you'll be able to construct a remote-controlled car that you can drive with a smartphone app and a cellphone that can make and receive both calls and messages. Other projects include creating an online weather station, game projects, and much more.

Through this hands-on, project-based approach to learning, you'll grasp a solid understanding of Arduino components like ultrasonic sensors, motor drivers, servos, and transistors. By the time you've wrapped up Assam's lessons, you'll not only have 15 new gadgets to play around with, but the confidence to continue creating increasingly complex prototyping projects on your own.

For a limited time, you can get lifetime access to the Arduino Bootcamp for only $15 — 85% off the original price of $100.
