C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits
  1. What is Arduino?
    Arduino is a microcontroller – a small brain that can take inputs (like a button press) and give outputs (like turning on a light). It helps us build smart projects.

  2. Why is Arduino Important?
    It allows us to control electronic devices and make our own gadgets. It’s used in schools, homes, and even robots!

  3. What are the Main Parts of Arduino Uno?

    • USB Port – Connects to a computer for uploading code

    • Digital Pins – Used to connect buttons, LEDs, sensors

    • Analog Pins – For reading sensor values like light or temperature

    • Reset Button – Restarts the Arduino program

    • Power Pins – Used to give power to connected components

  4. How Can I Explore Arduino without Real Parts?
    You can use a free website called Tinkercad, which has a virtual Arduino and circuits to practice with online!
