No, but it will help because some moderate coding is required. To get your Arduino project to work, you’ll need to use the Arduino software to make a “sketch,” which is the company’s term for a code-based set of instructions that tells the board how to operate. Sketches can be as simple as 50 lines of code or as complex as hundreds of lines. Most users learn to code for Arduino by copying code from other users and modifying it to make changes.
