Lighting Up Ideas & Sparking Creativity: Our First Adventure with Arduino Have you ever wanted to turn your creative ideas into real, working gadgets? Whether you're a curious student, a future engineer, or just someone who loves to tinker, Arduino is a great way to start exploring the exciting world of electronics and innovation. Our Bits and Bytes Club kicked off with a bang as we began our very first Arduino project. It was an exciting experience for everyone! Using just a few lines of code, we learned how to make an LED blink, a simple but powerful introduction to what Arduino can do. We explored some foundational concepts like setting a pin as an output using pinMode(), turning the LED on and off with digitalWrite(), and adjusting the blink timing using the delay() function. As our curiosity grew, we also got hands-on with the ultrasonic sensor, a device that uses sound waves to measure distance. We learned how the sensor sends out a signal us...
