Two-Day Workshop on Arduino: From Basics to Automation & Robotics
The Department of Electrical Engineering organised a two-day hands-on Workshop titled “Arduino: From Basics to Automation & Robotics” for second-year Electrical Engineering students on 25th July and 2nd August 2025.
A total of 27 students participated in the workshop, actively engaging in interactive sessions focused on embedded systems, sensor interfacing, and real-world automation applications. The workshop was structured into six comprehensive sessions, covering Arduino fundamentals, sensor integration, and automation-based projects.
On Day 1, students were introduced to the basics of microcontrollers, setting up the Arduino IDE, and writing simple programs. They also learned to interface digital and analogue components. Through hands-on exercises, they worked with a variety of sensors, including temperature, humidity, soil moisture, IR, ultrasonic, smoke, and LDR sensors, gaining practical experience in sensor integration and data acquisition.
Most of the project development was carried out using Tinkercad simulations, allowing students to virtually design and test circuits before moving to real hardware. In addition to simulations, students were also shown practical electronic components and their implementation in working hardware projects, including basic sensor-based setups and a robotic car prototype, providing them with valuable insight into real-world prototyping and physical assembly.
