Arduino Boards, Code, Projects and Shields

This hub collects everything Artoo Maker Lab publishes about Arduino, from choosing your first board to writing sketches that drive motors, sensors and displays. It is built for beginners wiring up their first LED and for experienced makers who want reliable references for their next robot or home automation build.

What you'll find here

Choosing Arduino boards

Plain-English comparisons of the Uno, Nano, Mega and newer boards explain which one fits your project's pins, memory, power budget and connectivity needs.

Arduino IDE guides

Setup walkthroughs and troubleshooting help cover installing the Arduino IDE, selecting the right board and port, fixing upload errors and using the Serial Monitor to debug.

Projects and example code

Step-by-step builds come with wiring explanations and commented sketches, so you understand why the code works instead of just copying it.

Libraries and shields

Practical coverage of popular libraries and add-on shields shows how to install them, avoid pin conflicts and combine motor drivers, displays and sensors in one build.
