Arduino MicrocontrollerA Practical Problem Based Approach


2/14

Sypnopsis

This workshop intends to expose participants to a much

simpler approach to understand its working based on

practical problem-based approach.

Enable participants to gain real-world experience inusing microcontroller to monitor and control engineering

processes and develop competent skills in design.

It has been specially designed for beginners and

educators

Anonymous on MAKE:

Arduino is great because it can give you results

right away, and quickly build your confidenceand understanding. Confidence is the only real

currency of innovation after all. Once you have

that, you can move on to more sophisticated

projects. But without an easy-to-understandentry point, youll never get there at all.


4/14

Philosophy & Approach

Low Floors, High Ceiling, Wide Walls


5/14

Participant Manifest

CD with notes, arduino software for Windows

and source code (sketches) used in class

Arduino Stater Kit:Arduino Uno Seven segment

Half size breadboard Tactile push button

Jumper wires Light sensor

LEDs Piezo speaker

Resistors USB cable

Potentiometer


6/14

Components: LED

LED (Light Emitting Diode)

What it Does: Emits light

when a small current is passed

through it.

Leads: 2 (one longer, this oneconnects to positive)

Things to watch out for: Will

only work in one direction

Looks like a mini light bulb. -

Requires a current limitingresistor


7/14

Resistors

What it Does: Restricts

the amount of current

that can flow through a

circuit.

Leads: 2 Things to watch out

for: Easy to grab the

wrong value

Cylinder with wires

extending from eitherend. The value is

displayed using a color


8/14

Potentiometer

What it Does: Produces a

variable resistance dependant

on the angular position of the

shaft.

Leads: 3 Things to watch out for:

Identifying: - Accidentally

buying logarithmic scale.

They can be packaged in

many different form factors,look for a dial to identify.


9/14

Pushbutton

What it Does: Completes a

circuit when it is pressed. 4

Leads: 4

A little square with leads out

the bottom and a button on thetop.


10/14

Integrated Circuit (IC)

What it Does: Packages any

range of complicated

electronics inside an easy to

use package.

Leads: 2 100s Things to watch out for:

Proper orientation. (look for

marks showing pin 1)

Identifying: The part ID is

written on the outside of thepackage. (this sometimes

requires a lot of light or a

magnifying glass to read).


11/14

Photoresistor

What it Does: Produces a

variable resistance dependant

on the amount of incident light.

Leads: 2

Things to watch out for:Remember it needs to be in a

voltage divider before it

provides a useful input.

Usually a little disk with a clear

top and a curvy lineunderneath.


12/14

Piezo Element

What it Does:A pulse of

current will cause it to click. A

stream of pulses will cause it to

emit a tone.

Leads: 2 Things to watch out for:

Difficult to misuse.

In this kit it comes in a little

black barrel, but sometimes

they are just a gold disc


13/14

Additional Tools

Multimeter

Long nose & cutter
