Budget Arduino Projects

A compilation of budget Arduino projects using a starter kit purchased online. This repository contains several small Arduino projects designed to maximize learning while minimizing cost, making it ideal for hobbyists and beginners.

Features

• Multiple Arduino projects in one repository
• Low-cost, easily reproducible designs
• Step-by-step instructions for setup and usage
• Variety of projects: sensors, displays, buzzers, LEDs, and more
• Educational for beginners in electronics and programming

---

Technologies Used

• Arduino UNO R3 (or compatible boards)
• Breadboard and jumper wires
• Various sensors (ultrasonic, sound sensor, tilt switch, etc.)
• LEDs and resistors
• Buzzers
• OLED / LCD displays
• Servo and stepper motors
• Pushbuttons and potentiometers

---

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/budget-arduino-projects.git

2. Open Arduino IDE

3. Select the correct board and COM port

4. Open the project folder and upload the code

5. Connect the hardware according to the circuit diagrams

---

Usage

Each project has its own folder with:

• Circuit diagram
• Arduino sketch file (.ino)
• Component list and wiring instructions
• README for that specific project

Follow the instructions in each project folder to build and run the project.
