In this book we will create together and step by step five exciting and great projects using the microcontroller Arduino Uno. We will use Autodesk's free Tinkercad software and its block-based programming approach. Also, in each of the projects we will use sensors, such as a temperature sensor, or even an ultrasonic sensor and other components.

I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and would like to introduce you to the topics of electronics, Arduino, and block-based programming with Tinkercad. In this book, I will try to do this in an application-oriented, playful and simple way using DIY projects. In the first chapters of this book you will find a short theoretical introduction or a refresher - depending on your level of knowledge - about the Arduino, the software Tinkercad and on general electronics. In the following chapters you will find five exciting projects, which we will build together step by step. For each project, you'll get information about the components you need, the structure of the respective circuit diagram, and the individual steps in creating the program code using block-based programming.

No matter what age you are, whether you are still in school, whether you are already an adult, whether you are a student or a retiree, if you are interested in any of these topics, you are in the right place! This book is aimed at both those who have no knowledge and those who already have basic knowledge in any of the areas: Arduino, Tinkercad and Electronics.
