TECHNOLOGIES
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

• Gain basic knowledge of common hardware


components used in electronic circuits,
including Breadboard, Resistors, LEDs, etc.
• Understand the usage of these components in
electronic circuits.
• Develop the ability to write Arduino programs
independently.
OVERVIEW
ELECTRICITY
Electricity

• A type of energy that can be built up in one


place or flow from one place to another.
• When electricity gathers in one place it is
known as Static Electricity
• When it moves from one place to another it is
called Current Electricity
Static Electricity

A form of electricity resulting from the


imbalance between positive and negative
charges within a material that occurs when
electrons (the negatively charged particles in
an atom) move from one material to another.
Current Electricity

A flow of charged particles, such as


electrons or ions, moving through an electrical
conductor or space. It is defined as the net rate
of flow of electric charge through a surface.
VOLTAGE
Voltage

A force that makes electrons move through


a wire and is measured in volts and the symbol
is v.
It is also called as Electromotive Force or
EMF which drives the electrons inside a wire.
Voltage

Alessandro Volta
Voltage
WATER
ANALOGY
CURRENT
CURRENT

• A rate of flow of charge.


• When an electrons move from negative
terminal to positive terminal of a battery, they
give rise to current.
• The unit of current is Amperes and the
direction in which the current flow is the
opposite to the direction of the electrons
CURRENT
CURRENT

• Current is the amount of electric charge that


flows when one coulomb of charge moves past
a point in one second, and this current is
measured in Amperes.
• Coulomb is the measuring unit of charge
WATER
ANALOGY
RESISTANCE
RESISTANCE

The electrical resistance of any component


is a measure of the difficulty of passing an
electric current through that substance. With
more resistance in a circuit, less electricity will
flow through the circuit.
RESISTANCE

A resistor is a device which limits the flow


of a current in a circuit.

Microcontroller
MICROPROCESSOR

A processing device that converts data into


information based on some sets of instructions. It
is a very compact electronic chip due to which
it is referred to as the microprocessor.
MICROCONTROLLER

An electronic system which consists of a


processing element, a small memory (RAM, ROM,
EPROM), I/O ports, etc. on a single chip.

Parts which
make
Arduino
1. Digital Pins – Use these pins with digitalRead(),
digitalWrite(), and analogWrite()
2. Built in LED – connected to Pin 13
3. Power LED – Indicates that the Arduino Board is
receiving power.
4. Atmega 328 Microcontroller – The heart of your
Board
5. Analog Pins – Use this pins with analogRead()
6. Power Pins – Use these pins to provide +5V and
ground to your circuit.
7. Power Connector – this is where you power you’re
your Arduino when it’s not plugged to the USB port
for power. (up to 12V)
8. TX and RX LED - These LEDs indicate
communication between Arduino and computer.
9. USB port - Used for powering your Arduino Uno,
uploading your sketches to the Arduino, and for
communicating with your computer.
10. Reset buttons – resets the ATmega microtontroller
Arduino IDE
IDE

An integrated development environment


(IDE) is software for building applications that
combines common developer tools into a single
graphical user interface (GUI).
IDE
An IDE typically consists of:

Source code editor: A text editor that can assist


in writing software code with features such as
syntax highlighting with visual cues, providing
language specific auto-completion, and
checking for bugs as code is being written.
IDE
An IDE typically consists of:

Local build automation: Utilities that automate


simple, repeatable tasks as part of creating a
local build of the software for use by the
developer, like compiling computer source code
into binary code, packaging binary code, and
running automated tests.
IDE
An IDE typically consists of:

Debugger: A program for testing other programs


that can graphically display the location of a
bug in the original code.
