Meet Arduino! – Introduction to Arduino computing using C++ | Teach with Space T04.1

Subjects: Programming, Electronics |

Students will explore technology used in space through the Arduino tool. They will build circuits to blink an LED and to measure temperature, pressure and altitude. The basics of programming in C++ will be introduced using the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software. This set of activities could be the starting point for the future participation in the European CanSat Competition.
