Top 5 Arduino Projects for Beginners

Welcome to Hobitronics' Beginner Arduino Project Series – your perfect starting point for learning the fundamentals of electronics and coding. This repository contains five simple and engaging Arduino projects that teach core concepts such as digital I/O, analog sensors, conditionals, and serial monitoring.

Each project includes code, circuit diagrams, and clear learning outcomes.
