Arduino PLC programming: foundations

Set up the Arduino IDE, understand the pinout of your board, read and write real I/O, and connect over wired and wireless communication. This is the entry point for programming M-Duino and Ardbox with the Arduino IDE.

Level: basic, no previous PLC experience needed. Duration: about 3 hours, 6 lessons with code you can run on real hardware. You need: an M-Duino or Ardbox, a USB cable and a computer.

By the end you will be able to install the board package, map every terminal of your model, read sensors and drive outputs, choose between RS485, I2C, SPI and serial links, and open a first Ethernet connection.

This course also applies directly to NEXTuino hardware, which uses the same Arduino IDE programming model as M-Duino and Ardbox.
