Arduino in the Philippines — Boards, Kits, Tutorials & Sensors from Circuitrocks

Arduino is one of the most popular electronics platforms used by students, hobbyists, schools,
and engineers. It’s beginner-friendly, powerful, and supported by thousands of project ideas online.

This page is a quick guide for Filipinos who want to start building with Arduino — including
recommended boards, sensors, simple project ideas, and parts you can buy from
Circuitrocks.

Circuitrocks is a distributor of Arduino-compatible boards, modules, and sensors, supporting
schools, makers, and robotics teams across the Philippines.

What Is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source platform composed of:

  • A programmable microcontroller board
  • A coding environment (Arduino IDE)
  • Libraries for sensors, motors, displays, and modules
  • Thousands of community-made examples and projects

With an Arduino board, you can learn electronics, coding, robotics, sensors & automation, IoT basics, and prototyping for school or engineering projects.

Arduino Project Ideas

Basic Arduino Code Examples

Blink LED

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);
  delay(500);
}

Ultrasonic Distance Measurement

long duration;
int distance;

void setup() {
  pinMode(9, OUTPUT);   // TRIG
  pinMode(10, INPUT);   // ECHO
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(9, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(9, LOW);

  duration = pulseIn(10, HIGH);
  distance = duration * 0.034 / 2;  // cm

  Serial.println(distance);
  delay(200);
}
