The topic of this article is to discuss the practical application of Arduino in physics experiments and demonstrations at school. It is well known that computers and modern information and communications technology are an essential part of our daily lives, and it is logical that they find their place in physics education at school as well. On the other hand, the obligatory classes in Physics and Astronomy, studied at school are relatively small, the experimental base is obsolete, and the interest of students is largely lowered. One of the possible ways to partially improve the situation is to use modern computer technology and, in particular, automated computer experiments and demonstrations based on Arduino.
