Introduction to Arduino Using TinkerCAD Simulator: No Hardware Required

Context and Preparation Getting started with tinkering on Microcontrollers can often be hindered by the need to purchase hardware. In this tutorial, we offer an introduction to Arduino that requires no prior experience and no physical hardware. Instead, we will utilize an Arduino simulator called TinkerCAD. However, for those who do have the hardware, we […]

How to Teach an Online Circuits Class With Tinkercad

Other Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

You probably know Tinkercad for the beginner friendly 3D CAD program, but it also includes a circuit + Arduino simulator that runs in your web browser! I’ve used Tinkercad for both in-person and online college-level classes and for introductory makerspace workshops. In this Instructable I’ll not only show you how to teach your own intro circuits/Arduino class using

Blink an LED With Arduino in Tinkercad

LCD Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

Let’s learn how to blink an LED (light emitting diode) using Arduino’s digital output. If you’re new to Arduino, this is a great place to start. We’ll connect an LED to the Arduino Uno and compose a simple program to turn the LED on and off. You can follow along virtually using Tinkercad Circuits. You can

Fading LED With Arduino Analog Output in Tinkercad

LED Projects / By Muhammad Bilal

Let’s learn to adjust an LED’s brightness using one of the Arduino’s analog outputs. You’ve probably already learned how to use Arduino’s digital i/o pins to send HIGH and LOW signals to an LED, but some of these pins are capable of simulating a signal somewhere in between. These pins are labeled on the Arduino Uno

A Menu in Arduino, and How to Use Buttons

Blog / By Muhammad Bilal

In my Arduino 101 tutorial, you’ll be taught how to setup your environment in Tinkercad. I use Tinkercad because it is a pretty powerful online platform that allows me to demonstrate a range of skills to students for building circuits. Feel free to build all my tutorials using the Arduino IDE and a real Arduino! In this
