a. @ = 6°" Arduino Starter Kit Experiment Manual Your guide to learn programming and building electronics with ArduinoPee ALCL GUL ER Ue UAN ANNES Lec) Hello World! Welcome to the most popular programming and electronics a design platform, . the Arduino Starter Kit! ebay nae The Arduino Starter Kit is a complete learning tool for : programming and electronics it atte design. The kit contains all the essential parts to get you started: so the main Hardware board, the Arduino UNO R3, a small breadboard to connect the components, LED's for light, push buttons, sensors and many others. This experiment guide will walk you through installing your software, preparing your materials for assembly, to transferring your code, to building and running you Arduino circuit board. You'll also learn programming and electronics concepts. Each experiment have activity challenges that you can solve to improve your tech skills. The manual is arranged in progressive learning. At the end of the exercise you'll be able to build a system with combined parts of each experiments.

Anywhere we interact with technology to help our day move. Technology is composed of moving parts in combination of Hardware and Software. Tech literacy then is an important skill to have. Understanding how things around us work will enable us to maximize our resources and create those technology that can help improve our environment. Robotics with Arduino ‘Arduino Hardware (Arduino UNO R3)__Arduino Software (Arduino C/C++ IDE Programming) = es) What is Arduino? Arduino isan ‘Arduino is a microcontroller (or a small computer board) capable of controlling a variety of devices like Lights, Servos, Motors, Sensors, wireless devices and many others by using its two main components, the Arduino board mainly “Arduino UNO R3” (Hardware) and the Arduino Programming. IDE (Software). We use Arduino because it’s easy to use, easily understood and has well-documented supporting. materials. Arduino also has a very big sharing community where learning is more collaborative and open. Another reason to use Arduino is itis a platform where you can easily scale a project and the skills of the user. You can start from the very basic but also can extend to the most advanced application. It can do something as simple as make an LED blink and as advanced as operate a 3D printer. You can add sensors, attach a GPS or Cellular modules, the possibilities are endless! With the Arduino platform you not only learn how to code, but you also learn how to design & build electronics projects and interface them together. The Arduino is also a perfect platform for learning STEM/STEAM Skills. It was created with beginner's in mind where the language and instructions are easily understood by non-technical people and at the same time still carries the deep technical component for users who wants to experiment in advanced applications for hobby projects and even for business and commercial product use.

Other version and form factor in the Arduino ecosystem are available, but the version UNO R3 is the main starting point. This board has all the main parts needed to complete a circuit and start coding, Parts of an Arduino UNO R3 Board = port for connecting the USB Cable, either for powering the Arduino Uno board or B. Reset Button — resets the Arduino Uno before execution of the code. The code uploaded to the board does not get erased, but rather restarts the Arduino Uno board. ¢. Barrel Jack — provides D. SV voltage regulator ~ ensures that the voltage being supplied to the microcontroller stays at 5V. Able to regulate voltage inputs from SV to 12V. E. Power LED indicator - when power is supplied to the Arduino Uno, this LED indicator lights up to indicate that power is supplied to the board F. ATMEGA328P Integrated Circuit (IC) Microprocessor ~the bran ofthe Arduino Uno. ll processing of information occurs here, from digital and analog signals to serial communication . Power Pins provide power to the Arduino Board as well as to modules connected tot. thas 4 pins: Vin, GND, SV and 3.3V. Vin is used to indicate the input pin for the voltage to the Arduino board when t's usingan external power source connected referred tothe drawing above pat: Barrel Jack). SV gives out a SV stable supply, and 3.3V pin for 3.3V supply. The GND pin provides access to ground connection. HA. INMNOMIRIRS — provides access to analog pins ofthe Arduino Uno. IIEARISATUSNE trea STE analog signals |. Digital Pins - provides access to digital pins of the Arduino Uno. It can be used to read or send digital signals. Additionally, some of these pins have the (~) symbol, meaning they have Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) capability, which is used to control motors. J. TX and RX LEDs- stands for transmit and receive respectively. They are used for checking a successful seal communication, A microprocessor is a computer in the form of a single Integrated Chip (IC) dedicated to a specific task or application. Like a computer, it has a memory, a programmable input/output and a processor. The ATmega328P is low-cost, high-performance microcontroller IC with 32 kB of memory, 14 digital pins, 6 analog pins, PWM capability, serial communication (UART, SPI and I2C) and 16Mhz pf crystal oscillator.
