Introduction

Why Seeed Studio XIAO series matters to Arduino learners?
Early Arduino development boards, such as the 8-bit, 16 MHz Arduino Uno, were very large and limited in terms of capacity and performance. Now the Seeed Studio XIAO series products, the size of a thumb cover, offers more powerful performance in a much smaller size, providing more possibilities for Arduino creation.

What you will learn

Through hands-on practice and a project-based approach, this course will take you to step by step to learn how to use Seeed Studio XIAO series products to learn Arduino from scratch, from simple lighting of LED lights to building complex Arduino wearable and miniaturized projects.
In addition, you will learn how to quickly create a usable electronic product prototype from the course.

Prerequisite

This course does not require Arduino programming or electronics knowledge.
The course will take you to step by step to help you understand and learn necessary knowledge, and quickly practice in each project.
