The “Basic Course on Arduino” is the gateway to the discovery of the new paradigm due to Industry 4.0. This Course fits perfectly in that new area of teaching that lately, especially internationally, is spreading and in Italy we are just at the beginning. More and more resources are being invested in this, which has now even become a course of study that starts in elementary school until it takes students all the way to graduation. This new area, which encompasses multiple disciplines, is called STEM. Arduino is a kind of small PC, it has a processor (a microcontroller to be exact), memory (like the RAM and Hard Disk of a PC), a motherboard, and connectors for signal inputs and outputs that go to external peripherals which can be sensors, actuator modules such as electric motors, etc. There are different types of boards, depending on certain features, for example, there are boards that already have WiFi module built in, those that have GPS, etc.. among the most popular is the Arduino UNO R.3, a basic development board that can be integrated with any type of module. Because the Arduino project is open source, many other manufacturers have made their own UNO R.3 board. Some manufacturers, seeing the potential of this board, have also developed it further by adding features and making it even easier to use. So many projects can be made with this Maker Development Board, the only limit is our imagination. Using the supplied USB cable, it is possible to connect the Development Board to the USB port of the PC from which the board itself draws the power necessary for its operation and interfaces with the PC to be programmed.
