This course introduces it using Arduino and ESP boards. This is a preliminary course in which we deal, with the basics of electronics and programming. If you already know the basics, then the second part of this course will be of your interest, in which we start creating smart devices.

What you'll learn:

  • Understand the basic concepts of electroncis for programming microcontrollers (digital, analog, PWM, communication buses, timers, etc.).
  • To program Arduino and ESP devices
  • To read data from ambient and environmental sensors (temperature, humidity, light)
  • To control actuators such as a fan, a light or a water pump using a relay
  • To display information on LCD displays to print data of your device
  • To use buttons and LEDs (and RGB LEDs) to generate a basic user interface

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java II: Object-Oriented Programming and Algorithms (edX)

Learn the basics of object-oriented programming and algorithms. Students will build on the skills learned from “Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java I: Foundations and Syntax Basics” and learn the basics of writing classes that serve as blueprints of concepts or objects that are represented in a programming problem. Students will leverage the concepts of inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism to program reusability and flexibility in classes. Finally, students will gain experience walking through and analyzing algorithms that are applied on data (including objects) in many object-oriented programs.
