INTRODUCTION TO THE ARDUINO

MICROCONTROLLER

Hands-on Research in Complex Systems


Shanghai Jiao Tong University
June 17 – 29, 2012

Instructor: Thomas E. Murphy (University of Maryland)


Assisted by: Hien Dao (UMD), Caitlin Williams (UMD) and
徐浩 (SJTU)
What is a Microcontroller
(µC, MCU)
• Computer on a single integrated chip
– Processor (CPU)
– Memory (RAM / ROM / Flash)
– I/O ports (USB, I2C, SPI, ADC)
• Common microcontroller families:
– Intel: 4004, 8008, etc.
– Atmel: AT and AVR
– Microchip: PIC
– ARM: (multiple manufacturers)
• Used in:
– Cellphones,
– Toys
– Household appliances
– Cars
– Cameras
The ATmega328P Microcontroller
(used by the Arduino)
• AVR 8-bit RISC architecture
• Available in DIP package
• Up to 20 MHz clock
• 32kB flash memory
• 1 kB SRAM
• 23 programmable I/O
channels
• Six 10-bit ADC inputs
• Three
timers/counters
• Six PWM outputs
What is Arduino Not?

• It is not a chip (IC)


• It is not a board (PCB)
• It is not a company or a manufacturer
• It is not a programming language
• It is not a computer architecture

(although it involves all of these things...)


So what is Arduino?
It’s a movement, not a microcontroller:
• Founded by Massimo Banzi and David
Cuartielles in 2005
• Based on “Wiring Platform”, which dates to
2003
• Open-source hardware platform
• Open source development environment
– Easy-to learn language and libraries (based
on Wiring language)
– Integrated development environment (based
on Processing programming environment)
– Available for Windows / Mac / Linux
The Many Flavors of Arduino
• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Leonardo
• Arduino LilyPad
• Arduino Mega
• Arduino Nano
• Arduino Mini
• Arduino Mini Pro
• Arduino BT
Arduino-like Systems

• Cortino (ARM)
• Xduino (ARM)
• LeafLabs Maple
(ARM)
• BeagleBoard
(Linux)
• Wiring Board
(Arduino
predecessor)
Arduino Add-ons (Shields)
• TFT Touch Screen
• Data logger
• Motor/Servo shield
• Ethernet shield
• Audio wave shield
• Cellular/GSM shield
• WiFi shield
• Proto-shield
• ...many more
Where to Get an Arduino Board

• Purchase from online vendor (available


worldwide)
– Sparkfun
– Adafruit
– DFRobot
• ... or build your own
– PC board
– Solderless breadboard

16 MHz clock Button

Voltage regulator ATmega328P

AC/DC adapter
jack DC voltage
6 analog
supply
inputs
(IN/OUT)
Download and Install
• Download Arduino compiler and development environment
from: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
• Current version: 1.0.1
• Available for:
– Windows
– MacOX
– Linux
• No installer needed... just unzip to a convenient location
• Before running Arduino, plug in your board using USB cable
(external power is not necessary)
• When USB device is not recognized, navigate to and select the
appopriate driver from the installation directory
• Run Arduino
