I'm completely new to Arduino and electronics and want to start learning from scratch. There are so many options out there—online courses, tutorials—and I'm not sure which one is the best for beginners.
Can anyone recommend a good Arduino starter Course that includes essential components and maybe even comes with a beginner-friendly guide or tutorials?
Also, if there are any online courses or YouTube channels that you personally found helpful when getting started, please share them!
If you're just starting out with Arduino and electronics, you're definitely not alone—there are some fantastic beginner-friendly resources out there to help you get going without feeling overwhelmed.
