In this session, we will take one further step into the world of embedded systems, especially micro-controllers. Starting from this session you’ll practically try everything. Using Arduino boards, you’ll learn how to use micro-controllers, inputs and outputs, and how to program your application.

Duration: 4 Sessions, 3 hours per session.
