If you want to try programming something that feels more tangible and exciting, then I recommend picking up an Arduino and/or Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi also has a broader selection of I/Os, such as an audio jack, more USB ports, and more. And with 40 general-purpose I/O (GPIO) pins, you can even daisy chain multiple Raspberry Pis ...

Arduino microcontrollers have added Python to the range of compatible programming languages. Others can be used, and not just Arduino's own IDE app.

Although Arduino's programming language is based on C++, you won't be able to use all of its commands. But, you can still use objects in Arduino's IDE, which are a fundamental aspect of C++.

The Arduino IDE is known for its user-friendly interface and wide adoption among those involved in electronics and programming, and this new release is set to enhance that reputation further.

You have successfully uploaded and run a basic program on your NODEMCU ESP8266 module using the Arduino IDE. Feel free to explore and modify the code for more complex projects!

Download Arduino IDE for Windows, Mac, Linux, learn how to use and update it, check out some Arduino IDE alternatives to create programs for Arduino boards.

A Live Debug Mode gives an instant view of the PLC’s operations and there is also code analysis with the PLC IDE Oscilloscope view (right). “You can mix PLC programming with Arduino sketches within ...
