During this lecture, I will be discussing the microcontroller that will be used to control the Arduino car project that we are working on.
This course teaches Arduino & programming skills through fun mini-projects. The projects revolve around building an Arduino-powered car. Each mini-project explores hardware & software topics, like using an ultrasonic sensor for vehicle safety or controlling the car with your smartphone. You'll learn to program motors, read sensors, implement automation features, and explore control options.
