I just got an Arduino for my birthday, and I was wondering if there were any tutorials out-there on how to use Julia with Arduino 🙂
I saw @yakir12 has a discussion on the issue, but there is not really a tutorial showcasing, and it seems that the Arduino.jl package is not maintained anymore ☹

I’m not aware of any Arduino tutorial for Julia. Likely since, you can’t compile Julia to Arduino. Julia doesn’t support the CPU of the original, and even with the more recent ARM-based, it’s too low-spec:

Julia DOES support ARM, just not such small ARM microcontrollers. Unless something changed/es, then Julia isn’t about to support any time soon. I look forward to the ability of Julia to support microcontrollers, I wouldn’t rule it out happening, while it’s very much not the target audience of Julia.
You CAN connectmmunicate with Arduino if that’s what you meant:

I managed to find these 3 resources: [https://gitlab.control.lth.se/labdev/LabConnections.jl](https://gitlab.control.lth.se/labdev/LabConnections.jl) but maybe I missed something, perhaps this has some implications on that?
