In a previous article, we looked at connecting various kinds of Arduino hardware to your Mac. Here's how to get started programming on them to create your own projects.

That provides a professional development environment, at least. The code base for the Arduino is another frustration. Bluntly, the use of setup() and loop() with main() being hidden really bugs me.

Once you learn how to read Morse code, you might want to teach your Arduino to understand it, too. Or, you can check out some other Morse-based projects.

Learn how to build your own desktop fully functional robot arm powered by Arduino hardware and assembled using 3D printed parts.

In addition to using Wiring, the same application framework used by Arduino "sketches," developers can write code for Electron in C, C++, or ARM assembly code to get closer to the metal.
