This is going to bring us to the question of what the Arduino board is all about.
The history of Arduino sounds a bit confusing right now, but the good thing to consider is that it is not going to be all as complicated as it seems right now.
We are able to go through at this point and learn a bit more about the whole system in place, what it is able to do for us, and more as we go through this whole guidebook.
The first part of this that we are going to explore is how the Arduino board is going to work.
You first need to go out and purchase the hardware, choosing the option that will fit with what your goals are on this project.
And then, with the help of another computer that has one of the other major operating systems on it, whether we are talking about Mac, Linux, or Windows, you are going to spend some time writing out the right codes with instructions to the board, uploading all of the steps and instructions that you want the board to follow through the codes that you are writing along the way.
The code that you write in this process will be stored in the microcontroller, and it is going to function based on these instructions any time that you call them up.
The neat thing with this kind of board is that you are able to write out any of the instructions that you would like, and they are going to work.
You could do it to have a beep sound off when you start up the controller or even have it work when it senses light.
This is simply a way to practice some of the basics of coding along the way, and there are so many options that you are really able to explore to make this happens.
