Transcript

1. An introduction to Arduino
2. Arduino is hardware
3. Arduino is software
4. Arduino is a family
5. Arduino is an ecosystem
6. Arduino is a platform
7. Arduino anatomy Finding your way around the UNO R3
8. Digital Pins (some with PWM) Analog Pins ICSP Programming Pins ATMega328P microcontroller Reset Button USB port Power jack Power Pins
9. Digital pins
10. Pulse-width Modulation
11. Analog pins
12. Programming Arduino Stuff you’ll need
13. To get started, you need— • An Arduino ◦ Start with an UNO R3 • A USB A-to-B cable • The Arduino IDE ◦ http://ardunio.cc/downloads ◦ Get the latest version (right now, that’s 1.6.5)
14. The bare bones sketch The simplest, most do-nothing program
16. Blinking an LED Hardware “Hello World”
18. A simple sensor Using a button
20. Reading an analog sensor Use the force, Luke
22. Learning more about Arduino • http://arduino.cc • Getting Started with Arduino • http://learn.adafruit.com • http://codebender.cc • Many, many resources on the web!
