Description

Important Update 2023!!!March:*** If you enrol in this course, you will get FREE access to my new Linux Mastery CourseFebruary: *** I updated the whole course with optional text-based coding tutorials!————————————————In this course, you will learn the basics of electrical engineering and important computer science concepts using Tinkercad, a fun and easy-to-use programming and electronics simulator tool designed by Autodesk.Throughout the course, I will guide you through programming the Arduino, using sensors, electric motors, and creating real-life electronic circuits. We will learn by practicing and analyzing real-world applications, with lessons designed to target specific programming and electronics concepts without getting into boring or complex details.If you do not have any experience with programming or electronics, that’s OK! Because this course is designed for absolute beginners with no experience in programming or electronics.. The course is mainly focused on not only giving technical details but also providing real applications to explain the importance of the lecture topics. We will start by understanding microcontrollers, especially Arduino, and then jump right into creating our first circuit and learning the basics of electrical engineering.We will learn how traffic lights works and how they are programmed to control the flow of traffic. Then, we are going to learn what is a push button and how walk buttons work to help pedestrians cross the road safely. Next, we will dive into sensors and create an alarm system that alerts us when a burglar enters our home.Following that, we are going to see how electric motors work and we will create a servo motor circuit that automates opening and closing the doors or windows. Finally, we will work on a Smart Home Project that allows us to control items around the house with automation.By the end of the course, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to create fun and useful Arduino projects. And with regular updates including new materials, exercises, tips, and tricks, you can continue to expand your skills and knowledge in this exciting field.————————————————Enroll now and start your journey into the world of programming and electronics today!
