BURO Arduino Workshop

Arduino
…is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
http://arduino.cc

Physical Computing
…is an approach to learning how humans communicate through computers that starts by considering how humans express themselves physically.

Embedded Systems
…are computer systems designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions. They are embedded as part of a complete device often including hardware and mechanical parts. In contrast, a general-purpose computer, such as a personal computer, is designed to be flexible and to meet a wide range of an end-user's needs. Embedded systems control many of the common devices in use today..

No need for external programmers, compiler licenses etc.
Simple, clear programming environment
All done in a simple IDE, no command line voodoo

Works uniformly across Windows, Linux, MacOS
Open Source!
Both software and hardwre

Big Computer vs. Tiny Computer
Dell Precision T1500
Atmel ATMEGA328P
CPU Speed: 2.93GHz
Quad-core!
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 2TB
I/O:
USB, Firewire, Serial, PS/2, RJ-45, Audio, etc.
CPU Speed: 20MHz
Not Quad-core
RAM: 2KB
Storage:
32KB Program Memory
1KB EEPROM
I/O:
Up to 23 generic I/O
6 of them ‘analog-capable’
UART/SPI/I2C, etc.

It’s an analog world…
Digital – only has two values: on/off
Analog – has many (infinite) values
Computers don’t really do analog
So they fake it, with quantization

BREADBOARDS ARE COOL!

The BreadBoard!
* Drawn using the new Fritzing ( http://fritzing.org )

Arduino Software
Based on avr-gcctoolchain and the Processing IDE.
Code editor, programming tools and serial terminal all in one place.

Arduino Language
Simplified C/C++
Based on the Wiring Project
http://wiring.org.co
Peripheral Libraries
LCD, sensors, I2C, etc

Useful functions
pinMode() – set a pin as input or output
digitalWrite() – set a digital pin high/low
digitalRead() – read a digital pin’s state
analogRead() – read an analog pin
analogWrite() – write an “analog” PWM value
delay() – wait an amount of time
millis() – get the current time

Example: Button

Example: SerialDisplay

LED Resistor Calculation
Let’s assume we have a 9V source…
R = V / I
R = (9-3.4) / (20*10-3)
R = 280 Ω
Nearest standard value is 330 Ω
List of standard resistor values: http://www.logwell.com/tech/components/resistor_values.html

Ohm’s Law
V = Voltage
I = Current
R = Resistance
V

V = Current * Resistance
I = Voltage / Resistance
R = Voltage / Current

Example Project: Thermometer
A temperature sensor is connected to an analog input on the Arduino
Arduino periodically reports the temperature back to PC
PC uses this data to plot graphs etc.

Thermometer: Arduino Code
intsensorPin = 0; // the analog pin that the sensor is connected to
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
//getting the voltage reading from the temperature sensor
int reading = analogRead(sensorPin);
// converting that reading to voltage, for 3.3v arduino use 3.3
float voltage = reading * 5.0 / 1024;
// print out the voltage
Serial.print(voltage); Serial.println(" volts");
// now print out the temperature
floattemperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 100;
// converting from 10 mV per degree with 500 mV offset
// to degrees ((voltage - 500mV) times 100)
Serial.print(temperatureC); Serial.println(" degress C");
delay(1000); // wait a second
}

Thermometer: PC Side
Read the incoming data every X seconds (cron)
Collect and plot temperature graphs (rrdtool)

Not an Arduino project but easily hackable!
