2. TinkerCAD:
• Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modelling & circuit- program that runs in a
web browser
• TinkerCAD was founded by former Google engineer Kai Backman and his
cofounder Mikko Mononen, with a goal to make 3D modeling, especially the
design of physical items, accessible to the general public, and allow users to
publish their designs under a Creative Commons license.
7. TinkerCAD Circuits:
• Tinkercad is an excellent tool that allows you to simulate Arduino-
based systems
• You can simulate all exercises and even your own designs before
trying them on real hardware.
• It also allows you to do programming using blocks.
• You can download / copy-paste the generated code later into
Arduino IDE to program the real Arduino board, rather than having to
write it from scratch.
12. Arduino:
• Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, project,
and user can designs and manufactures single-board
microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices.
A simulation is the imitation of the operation of a real-world process or system over time. Simulations require the use of models; the model represents the key characteristics or behaviors of the selected system or process, whereas the simulation represents the evolution of the model over time.
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

One practical difference between the new wire types and the default wire is the ability to more easily angle the ends of the wire once it’s connected. This is especially evident when working with our virtual micro:bit and attaching multiple wires to a single pad. Using alligator clips, you can intuitively fan out a group of connections for a more legible circuit diagram.
