LABORATORY ACTIVITY NO.

2
Familiarization on the Arduino IDE and the MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino

I. UNIT OBJECTIVE

When you have completed this unit, you will be able to demonstrate the operation of Arduino
IDE and MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino and familiarize with the software and hardware
components of MTS-100.

II. DISCUSSION

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a
development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used
to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer.

The MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino has been designed to provide the student with small
microcontroller-controlled systems in modular form. These I/O modules can be patched together
and connected to Arduino Uno to create various microcontroller control systems.

Arduino Uno board is the core of MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino. It is the first in a series of USB
Arduino boards, and the reference model for the Arduino platform.

The MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino provides 25 modules plus a half-size breadboard. The universal
breadboard offers a convenient way to students for constructing the circuits that are not provided
by the MTS-100.

III. EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

1. Personal Computer
2. MTS-100 Tutor for Arduino
3. MTS-100 CD
4. USB Cable
5. Jumper Wires
6. AC Power Cord
IV. PROCEDURES

Procedure 1.1.1 Installing Arduino Software.

On your MTS CD, there are two files in the Software folder:

1. arduino-1.6.1-windows.exe file (Windows installer) and


2. arduino-1.8.1-windows.zip file (Windows ZIP Sle for non admin inelart)
3. Insert MTS-100 CD into your CD-ROM drive.
4. Double-click the arduino-1.6.1-windows.exe file in the Software folder on MTS-100 CD to
start installation. License Agreement dialog opens as shown in Fig. 1-4.

5. Click I Agree button. The Installation Options dialog appears as shown in Fig. 1-5.
6. Click Next button. The Installation folder dialog opens as shown in Fig. 1-6.

7. Click Install button to install Arduino in the default destination folder. The installing
window open and the Setup starts to install Arduino software in the selected destination
folder.
8. Once the installation is completed, the Completed windows opens as shown in Fig. 1-8.
Click Close button to quit the Setup and close the window.

9. Copy the Adafruit_NeoPixel-master, Arduino-LiquidCrystal-12C-library-master, DHT-


sensor-library-master, and MMA8452_Accelerometer folders in the libraries folder of
MTS 300 CD to your (home folder/Arduino/Libraries folder.
10. To launch the Arduino IDE, click Start > Arduino or double-click the on the desktop, the
Arduino IDE window opens as shown in Fig. 1-1.
Alternate Installation
1. Make sure to have a stable internet connection on your PC.
2. Open any working browser and go to
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/OldSoftwareReleases
3. Look for the version below and download Windows Installer

4. Follow Steps 4 onwards on the above procedure.

Unzipping Windows ZIP file for non admin Install

1. Uncompress the arduino-1.6.1-windows.zip file in the Software folder on MTS-100 CD.


An arduino-1.6.1 folder will be produced, in this folder, you'll see an Arduino.exe fic. You
can run the arduino.exe file on Windows-based computers to open the Arduino IDE
window, as shown in Fig. 1-1.
2. Copy the Adafruit_NeoPixel-master, Arduino-LiquidCrystal-12C- library-master, DHT
sensor-library-master, and MMAB452 Accelerometer folders in the Libraries folder on
MTS-100 CD to your (home folder)/Arduino-1.6.1/Libraries folder.

Procedure 1.2.1 Hardware Installation


1. Connect the Arduino Uno board to your computer using the USB cable.
2. Connect a correct AC voltage from a well outlet to your MTS-100 using the AC power cord,
and then tum on the power.
3. Connect the Arduino pins 2-11 to the header pins P9-1~P9-10 (LED BAR). This makes
the LED Bar available.
4. Open the Arduino IDE window. In the text editor, write your sketch as shown below and
save it as "ex1-2-1.ino". Note: You can omit the program comments to save time for the
actual study of the sketch.
5. Once the editing is completed, press Ctrl+R keys to compile your sketch. If "Error
compiling" appears in the console, the message area will show the error message with
line number. If "Done compiling appears in the console, the message area will display
memory usage for code and variables as follows:

6. Press Ctrl+U keys to upload the code to the Arduino board.


7. You should see a running effect shown on the LED Bar. One ON-LED guns from left to
right and then from right to left, and repeat.

V. DATA AND RESULTS

A. Insert photos of your documentation for each procedure and indicate your
experience and possible problems encountered.

B. Uninstall Arduino version 1.6.1 and install the latest version using internet
connection. Reupload "ex1-2-1.ino" and write your observation.

.
VI. QUESTIONS

a. Draw the Arduino Software IDE and define and label where the Menu Bar,
Toolbar, Text Editor, Text Console, and Message Area are.
b. Identify and define the five menus under the menu bar and draw and define the 6
buttons under the toolbar
c. What are the menu commands and their respective shortcuts in Arduino IDE?
What does each menu command do?
d. What are the two basic parts of an Arduino sketch?
e. Draw the MTS100 tutor and define and identify its parts (refer to the list below)
f. Draw the Arduino UNO and identify its pin assignments and their use.

VII. CONCLUSION

Write a one-page conclusion for the laboratory experiment done.
