The document provides an introduction to the Arduino environment and programming. It discusses that Arduino boards are microcontrollers that can read inputs and produce outputs. The boards are programmed using the Arduino programming language and IDE. The document then provides tutorials on setting up an Arduino Uno board, writing and uploading a sample code to produce a stoplight program, and briefly discusses some industrial and other applications that use Arduino boards.

1. ARDUINO ENVIRONMENT
TUTORIAL
LAST PICKS

2. INTRODUCTION TO ARDUINO
• Open-source electronics platform (original source
code is freely available to be redistributed and
modified)
• Arduino Boards: microcontroller that reads input
and turns into outputs (i.e. finger on button turns
on an LED light)
• Instruct Arduino Board using Arduino Programming
Language and Arduino Software (IDE) communicating
through the board’s microcontroller
• Void setup() & Void Loop();
[1]

3. ARDUINO UNO
• Microcontroller with:
• 14 digital inputs
• 6 analog inputs with 10-bit resolution
• Can be:
• Purchased on eBay for $6
• Programmed in C
• Interfaced to a computer through USB
• Interfaced to many sensors
[3]

4. TUTORIAL: SETUP
• Buy Arduino UNO board from Adafruit, Element14, or another
Arduino Distributor
• Download the software in this link:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
• Buy a starter electronics kit for building circuits (Optional):
https://www.amazon.com/16Hertz-Electronics-Breadboard-
Resistors-Raspberry/dp/B00J4RN61A
• Launch downloaded software - Arduino IDE

5. TUTORIAL: INITIALIZING
• Click on Arduino Uno in the
Boards
option under the Tools tab
• Begin writing program:
• Example shown later

6. TUTORIAL: UPLOADING TO BOARD
• Save your code
• Connect the board to the PC through the microcontroller and USB
port
• Upload to Arduino board by clicking the arrow
• Provide Power to the Arduino board to run indefinitely
TUTORIAL: SHUTTING DOWN
• Remove Power Source to stop the program
• Exit software anytime after upload to board

7. AN ARDUINO EXAMPLE
Stoplight
[2]

8. CODE
int red = 10;
int yellow = 9;
int green = 8;
void setup() {
pinMode(red,OUTPUT);
pinMode(yellow,OUTPUT);
pinMode(green,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(green,HIGH);
Serial.begin(9600);
digitalWrite(green,HIGH);
Serial.println("Begin green
light");
delay(2000);
}
void loop() {
changeLights();
delay(3000);
}
[2]
void changeLights(){
Serial.println("Light Changes");
Serial.println("Yellow");
digitalWrite(green,LOW);
digitalWrite(yellow,HIGH);
delay(3000);
Serial.println("Red");
digitalWrite(yellow,LOW);
digitalWrite(red,HIGH);
delay(5000);
Serial.println("Green");
digitalWrite(yellow,LOW);
digitalWrite(red,LOW);
digitalWrite(green,HIGH);
delay(3000);
}

9. ARDUINO IN INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING
• Arduino-based data acquisition
• Interfacing Arduino to Excel, MATLAB, and
LabVIEW
• Arduino-based tensile tester
• Tensile testing done to measure
mechanical properties
• Two parameters measured
• Load applied to sample
• Sample’s extension
• Reprogramming the robotic arm using
Arduino
• Project designed to sort glass and non-
glass waste
• Arm controlled by Arduino microcontroller
• Optical sensor used to distinguish between
parts
Tensile tester wiring
configuration for 5 kg load
cell and ultrasonic sensor

10. OTHER ARDUINO APPLICATIONS
• Break timer using a Mac computer
• Macs can’t communicate with motors, robots, sensors, etc without
something acting as a translator
• BreakTimer enables Mac to tell whether someone is sitting and if he/she
has been sitting for too long
• Real-time location systems
• GPS continually takes input data from satellite and stores longitude and
latitude
• Arduino Uno takes last received coordinates from GpsGate and sends
message to Google Earth
• Current location can then be shown on platform of choice
• Processing and image compression
• Arduino used as control element to integrate proposed algorithms
• Arduino enables further adjustments
