Arduino is a single-board host controller for many types of sensors, motors, displays, actuators, and interfaces. It has become the most common host controller for electronics developers due to its low cost and ease of use. The Arduino is meant for nonexpert electronics builders to be able to build their own inventions. In this chapter, the hardware for connecting MINDSTORMS EV3 with an Arduino will be developed. This LEGO Arduino Workstation serves as a platform for building the projects found in ...
