Arduino Tools
If you work with plants, you may have tools like spades, rakes, and trimmers. If you work with electronics like Arduino, you’ll have Arduino tools ranging from hardware (like an Arduino Shield) to software (like the Arduino IDE –Integrated Development Environment).
The lessons that follow highlight different Arduino tools that are used with Arduino, we hope you’ll find them helpful!
