Are you ready to take your Arduino projects to the next level? Dive into the world of Smart Control and Data Acquisition by learning how to program your Arduino to communicate with an OPC-compliant SCADA HMI application. This course is your gateway to seamlessly integrating your microcontroller into larger industrial automation systems.

**🚀 Course Description:

The Arduino platform has revolutionized the way we approach small-scale automation, offering an affordable and versatile tool for makers, hobbyists, and professionals alike. Its ability to interface with a myriad of input/output devices makes it an ideal candidate for SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) applications. However, to truly leverage its potential in industrial settings, the Arduino must communicate effectively with SCADA Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs).

OPC (OLE for Process Control) has established itself as the industry-standard protocol for HMI communications across various platforms and vendors. Learning to bridge the gap between an Arduino and an OPC-compliant HMI can significantly enhance your projects' capabilities, enabling real-time data visualization, control, and analysis.
