<objectives>After successfully completing the course, the students

- are able to use the Arduio IDE (Integrated Development Environment) in order to programm a microcontroller (Arduino)
- can depict the differences of an implementation for microcontroller based systems and offline implementation
- can design a flowchart for the microcontroller based system
- can implement code for the Arduino based on a given flowchart
- can integrate selected sensors and actuators using the microcontroller 

</objectives>
<content>Basic knowledge of Arduino boards and related components (e.g. breadboard,...) is provided. 
An introduction to programming a microcontroller (e.g. Arduino Uno) and the integration of sensors and actuators 
in order to interact with the physical environment is provided.
The differences concerning an implementation for microcontroller based systems and an offline implementation is discussed. 
The design of a flowchart for the microcontroller based system and the implementation of code for the Arduino based on a given flowchart are concerned.
