A digital signal is a signal that represents information as a series of discrete binary values. Digital signals are used in all modern electronic applications, including communication and network devices. When plotted in a voltage-time graph, the signal is discrete, and ranges from 0 V to VCC (usually 1.8V, 3.3 V, or 5V).

After getting introduced to some of the basic structures of coding, its important to get to know the integrated development environment, or IDE that the coder will use to edit and compile the written programs. For all Arduino boards, the IDE used is the Arduino IDE, available online at: https://www.arduino.cc/en/software. The following figure guides the users to the basic on the basic options available on the IDE:
