Each lesson pairs a compile-checked sketch with wiring, safety, test, and extension guidance. Usage: follow the lessons in order, build the documented circuits safely, compile and upload the sketches, and complete each verification checklist. Applications include classroom instruction, introductory embedded systems labs, supervised motor-control exercises, and independent Arduino study.",
