The Arduino Platform and C Programming
An Introduction to Programming the Internet of Things (IOT),
The Arduino is an open-source computer hardware/software platform for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world around them. In this class you will learn how the Arduino platform works in terms of the physical board and libraries and the IDE (integrated development environment). You will also learn about shields, which are smaller boards that plug into the main Arduino board to perform other functions such as sensing light, heat, GPS tracking, or providing a user interface display. The course will also cover programming the Arduino using C code and accessing the pins on the board via the software to control external devices. Please note that this course does not include discussion forums. Upon completing this course, you will be able to: 1. Outline the composition of the Arduino development board 2. Describe what it means to program the board's firmware 3. Read board schematics 4. Install Arduino IDE 5. Describe what "shields" are and how they are used 6. Specify the role of libraries in the use of shields 7. Compile and run a program 8. Name C Variables and Types 9. Name common C operators 10. Use conditionals and loops 11. Explain functions, their definition and invocation 12. Explain the implications of global variables 13. Undertake the Arduino build process 14. Describe the role of the tools behind the IDE 15. Describe how to invoke functions in classes 16. Explain the structure of an Arduino sketch 17. Access the pins of the Arduino 18. Differentiate between digital and analog pin 19. Debug embedded software 20. Explain the importance of controllability and observability in the debugging process 21. Describe common debugging architectures for embedded systems 22. Explain how the UART Serial communication protocol works 23. Describe how the Arduino Serial library performs serial communication

easy to understand
Very clear training, easy to understand.
easy to understand.
Just same remark as for previous one - please review text of subtitles, it's really awful and I guess it's even funny for native english speakers Excellent information and presentation, easy to understand, and relevant to both Arduino and other C/C++ microcontrollers.
Easy to understand and guided student to learn Arduino Hardware as well as programming it.
Very use full Really easy to understand and catch up from a very basic level.
Very nice course Detailed and easy to understand.
Highly recommend this specialisation :) Every explanation are clear and easy to understand.

Very interesting course This course is the basic for starting with Arduino or Internet of Things.Here it has been taught in a very simple language.Great efforts by the professor Ian Harris.
Ian Harris does it well and knows the content well enough.
أرجو أن يتم عمل دروس عن الـ raspberry Very interesting and well build up .Some of the C & C++ IDE software didn't properly work well on my laptop and are hard to get them going.... THX Prof Ian Harris best course best teacher All the concepts were very clear and helped me a lot .
To professor Ian Harris and Coursera thanks alot Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Prof. Ian Harris has done a brilliant job with the course.
And thanks Sir Ian Harris.
useful Great Introduction to IOT, professor Ian Harris explains concepts concisely and humorously.Coding assignments get you started on the Arduino Platform quickly.
Actually I have a little knowledge in C language..!Out of my friends review along with the lectures of Ian Harris Sir.., Learned a lot..

serial communication
The only topic that got a (somewhat) deep dive was serial communication, and it wasn't clear why; users of the Arduino don't need to understand it any more or less than any other aspect of how an Arduino works.
Explained Serial Communication very well.
Nice course to learn Ardunio basics and serial communication over it.
The only topic that got a (somewhat) deep dive was serial communication, and it wasn't clear why; users of the Arduino don't need to understand it any more or less than any other aspect of how an Arduino works.There were other issues.
Good course for beginning with Arduino programming.It would be better if more information and serial communication examples could be covered including a lab example.
UART and serial communication is still not understandable for me.week 1 and week 2 is good but week 4 is just a lecture nothing else.

so much
But, it is more than made up for by the positive aspects that you covered so much useful data and made it available to us.
good course for beginners and the instructor teaching simply way talent I like this Course so much,In this course nothing is prerequisite,Instructor is very good he expains every things very nicely.I thinks all the student can do this course.
This course is really wonderful and I appreciate so much the opportunity to be a part of it.
not so much about arduino but whtever it was in there , was goof=d v.good introduction course perfect course for arduino beginners.

little bit
Perfect course to get you started on arduino, especially if you have at least a little bit of background in programming and electronics.
The course is good but little bit theoretical for science that should be 80% practical .
The course is very nice but a little bit of practical work needed while explaining any concept.
