There are 8 modules in this course

In this module, we will introduce the overall structure of the course and its goals. You’ll gain insights into why OOP is vital for Arduino projects, explore the materials required, and configure your development environment. We’ll also provide a project overview to help you make the most out of this learning experience.

What's included

In this module, we will begin building your first Arduino class focused on controlling an LED. You'll learn how to define the class structure, add attributes and methods, use constructors, and create objects. By the end of this section, you'll have a fully functional LED class integrated into your program.

6 videos

In this module, we will organize the structure of your Arduino class by creating separate files for better clarity and maintainability. You'll learn to define the class interface in a header file, separate it from the implementation, and understand how to use this structure effectively. We’ll also explore how to turn your class into an Arduino library for future projects.

What's included

5 videos

In this module, we will guide you through building the circuit required for the course. You'll learn how to connect the components step by step, ensuring that everything is set up correctly for the project. This hands-on section will help you gain practical experience in circuit building and troubleshooting.

In this module, we will guide you through creating a PushButton class from scratch. You'll define the class interface, handle button states, resistors, and debounce logic. By the end, you'll learn how to combine buttons and LEDs to work with multiple objects, further enhancing your project.

What's included

8 videos

In this module, we will explore advanced OOP concepts by embedding an LED object within the LEDBlinker class. You’ll learn how to toggle the LED state, manage blinking without delays, and use getters and setters. We’ll finish with a practical example where three LEDs blink at varying intervals, applying everything learned in this section.

What's included

6 videos

In this module, we will guide you through building a traffic light system for the final project. You'll set up a Traffic Light class, implement a state machine, and use timing functions for transitions. Additionally, you'll learn how to use a Potentiometer to adjust LED brightness, integrating these features into a fully functional traffic light system.
