Course Description

"Tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn."
- Benjamin Franklin
I have designed this Arduino project course as an opportunity for you to get deep into the messy details of understanding, designing and constructing a simple yet infinitely extensible wheeled robot.
From figuring out what the robot is supposed to do, to selecting the right parts, configuring them, assembling them and testing them, all the way to producing a refined outcome, this project emphasises the iterative process of problem-solving.
By the end of the course, you will have created an Arduino wheeled robot that can navigate towards a light source and avoid obstacles along the way, on its own. But more than that, by the end of the course you will have become a better problem solver. You will have experience in analysing problems and designing solutions. You will be able to integrate simple mechanical parts with motors, batteries, sensors and other electronics.
The ideal student for this course is someone who has completed Arduino Step by Step Getting Started or has a good basic level of understanding of the Arduino. You already know how to write simple sketches and wire components in a breadboard. Although I will be showing the robot building process in great detail, having a basic level understanding of the Arduino will make this project a lot more enjoyable for you.
I invite you to review the free lectures in the first section of the course to find out more details about it.
If you are excited about becoming a Maker with the Arduino, join many other Makers and me in Make an Arduino Robot!
I look forward to learning with you!Who this course is for:

Arduino Makers looking for a challenging but rewarding project
Graduates of Arduino Step by Step Getting Started
Makers who want to improve their understanding of motors, sensors, system design

Time: 8h

Yes because I am an electrical electronics engineering graduate who is keen on improving the skills that I have and this course will be able to help me with it

By Jerry Fausz on

Explanations are easy to understand and the way the Arduino sketches are covered is very informative. My skill in using the Arduino has improved considerably.

Explica muy bien el profesor y le entiendo perfectamente. Podra mejorar los diagramas esquemticos utilizando etiquetas, en lugar de alambrar todos los componentes en el esquema.De esta forma se se vera mucho mejor el diagrama esquemtico de todo el proyecto.

By Thomas Weight on

I believe this course covers exactly the material I need most. I am really excited about taking this course. I guess I got too excited because I finished the first pass through the entire course and my parts have not arrived yet. So I will take another course my the same instructor while I wait for the parts.

By Alessandro Boggiano on

The content is quite interesting but the pace is really too slow.Moreover, in my all history with Udemy courses, I get no answers from the teacher!Very disappointed!

By Jonathan Gherxi on

Great course for beginners and helps implementation of sensors.Helpful instructors

Thorough, clear explanations

By Roger Routsong on

The step-by-step explanation is valuable.

By Stephen Hohm on

I appreciate the clear explanations of the components, theory, and wiring.

By Audrey Swiatocha on

It's still only an introduction to what we will be learning. Essentially, all we've done is go over the syllabus. I'm an aerospace engineering student who has to wait another year to take this type of course, but I want this information now for an undergrad research project I will start working on next month. The material we've covered so far in this course lets me know that the first few lessons are probably not going to challenge me the way they might challenge another student. However, eventually, we will get to the sections that are more relevant to my needs.
