Hey everyone,

I just got my first microcontroller and I’m excited to start learning! I have some basic coding experience but have never worked with Arduino Uno before. I’d love some advice on a good beginner project to get familiar with the board and its capabilities.

 

What are some fun and easy projects to start with? Also, any tips on essential components I should buy (LEDs, sensors, etc.)?

Would appreciate any guidance or links to beginner-friendly tutorials.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

    A great beginner project for your Arduino Uno is the LED Blink project. It’s simple, teaches you basic coding, and helps you get familiar with controlling pins. After that, you can try a temperature sensor with an LCD display or a button-LED project to dive deeper into input/output controls. For components, make sure to have LEDs, push buttons, potentiometers, and a temperature sensor like the DHT11. Jumper wires and a breadboard will be essential as well. You can find plenty of beginner-friendly tutorials on Arduino's official site, Instructables, and YouTube to guide you through the process.
