Arduino as a notable element in electronic prototypes

Abstract

Introduction. The use of Arduino in electronic systems allows the articulation of hardware and software in a friendly and interactive way, motivating the student to express their creativity in the operation of an electrical circuit with the linking of electronic elements. Objective. Explain about the learning of Arduino as a remarkable element in electronic prototypes, in the University students of the first levels. Methodology. Quantitative research was carried out with the students, where the way in which the platform is used in their formative education was considered, Tinkercad was also taken as an interactive digital tool, which allows improving certain aspects in the educational field by promoting that the contents are taken to a digital area allowing them to be more didactic, entertaining and easy to use. Results. The results were obtained from a survey separated by sections, applied to 120 students, who were 63.3% men and 36.7% women. Of them, 33% of the students affirm that they know Tinkercad and that they have sometimes handled this online application for electronics, on the other hand, we have a very small percentage of 4.2% of students who mention not knowing this program and the 25% describe that they have hardly ever used such an application. Conclusion. ICT applications, tinkercad, arduino, etc., in class hours, allow better iteration between teachers and students.
