Some of the first steps toward working with Arduino is understanding how to write code for it. The good news is that it's made with beginners in mind.

Connect the Arduino to your computer using the USB cable. Open the Serial Monitor in your IDE to see the values from the sensor – this will also help you to calibrate your plant monitor.

The Arduino ecosystem is an amazing learning tool, but even those of us who love it admit that even the simplified C Arduino ...

On an IoT Core device, an Arduino Wiring sketch runs as a background application (headless); i.e. there is no UI visible on an attached monitor.

An Arduino Uno provides the processing power and drives the serial monitor. A joystick and a Hitachi H48C accelerometer are mounted on a breadboard and wired to the Uno.
