Course Description

Welcome to this course.

The course lesson will explain “How to work on Arduino and Python” by using Python Language and PythonEnvironment. This course will work best for you if your basic knowledge of Electronics and Arduino. You will learn how to interface the Arduino with your Computer and Control it using Python.

Arduino can be used in your Engineering projects, Industrial Projects or Home Automation related projects.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Set up electronic circuits

  • Set up the Communication protocol on Arduino

  • Write basic applications for Arduino in Python to control basics functions

  • Advanced Control of analog and digital inputs and outputs

  • How to Integrate Arduino sensors and switches

Why Learn Arduino?

If you an Engineering or Science student you might come across projects in which you want Physical interaction with your computer system & to display the operations on PC Screen

Arduino is one of the cost-effective tools which you can create or purchase & starts programming to interact with physical elements with your logic & create results the way you want.

And using Python, you can fully control the Arduino Board and the various process parameters like Motor Speed, LED ON/OFF Feedback, Temperature Signal, you can also create unlimited Buttons, Switches & Message Box to control the Arduino

Who this course is for:

  • Engineering Students - Electronics, Electrical & Computer Science
  • High School Science Students
  • Electronic Geeks, Hobbiest & Art Students
  • Arduino Geeks

More About Ashraf:

I've always tried to live life presently and to the fullest. Some of the things I love to do in my spare time include football, biking, traveling to new places, watching sports (huge football fan here!), and sharing meals with friends and family.

In 2012, I graduated with my Bachelor of Mechatronics Engineering at Azhar University - one of the top schools in the country. While there, I was fortunate to make Embedded Systems project using Arduino, PIC Microcontroller and other modules. After graduating, I worked at My own university as a Teacher Assistant . I followed that stint with a contract at a local College where I discovered how amazing it is to share your knowledge offline, which made me eager and eventually found myself starting my own online learning journey. I helped more than 100k student since then. Most recently. Throughout this time I built my Educational Engineering School Online brand to teach others the skills that I have. Now I only do things I love each day.

I want to show you how to be a better Embedded System creator, make money from your skills, and live the life you dreamed of.
