OverviewWhy did Arduino start?

The beginning of Arduino

How it works

Different types of Arduino

Projects based on Arduino

Implications

Conclusions

The reasons because it started:

A team of teachers wants to make a tool for their students

This tool must be cheaper than previous devices for doing this

They want open source project, that way people that want to can help and contribute

Why did Arduino start? [2]

In “Interaction Design Institute ” on Italy in 2005

One group of people met and thought about it

One of the founders of Processing taught there

Processing on Hardware becomes “Wiring”

Cheaper and easier than “Wiring”, becomes Arduino

The beginning of Arduino [2]

Device that can interact with the real world

HardwareMicrocontroller (Reduced Instruction Set Computer)Devices Input/Output

SoftwareProcessing language (also others like Matlab, SC, Java, etc.)Bootloader

How it works [3]

Different types of Arduino

Arduino UNO [4] Arduino Ethernet [5]

Different types of Arduino

Arduino Micro [6] Arduino Mini [7]

Arduino Fio [8] LilyPad Arduino [9]

Camera controller based on Arduino

It works using Arduino’s inputs and it receives the signals of the real world

It has different programs

Project I: Photoduino

[10]

[11]

[12]

On general aspects 3D printers can make your ideas in a three-dimensional way

It uses the additive process

Examples: MakerBot, RepRap

Project II: 3D Printers

[13] [14]

Pet Feeder that opens only for a special cat

The cat has a collar with a chip

The device that allows the cat to eat has a sensor that can recognize it

Project III: Pet Feeder

Link to the project [15]

The LilyPad Arduino is more useful than the other boards because you can sew it on your clothes

You can make lights, music or anything you imagine

Project IV: Interactive Clothes

[16][17]

Electronics are everywhere

We will be a different type of consumers

Equal access rights for all students

Startup ventures will have an easier way to do their projects

Implications

“Arduino is a physical representation of the great things that you have in the open-source software but now in hardware” [2]

People can see your designs and improve them

We can understand the world better

We can learn about electronics, to think, to work in a team

Conclusions

Summary History of Arduino

What Arduino is and how it works

The parts of Arduino and different Arduinos

Projects based on Aduino

Implications and Conclusions
