A comprehensive workshop power point presentation on Arduino basics focusing RC car. It's basically an one day workshop presentation used for the new students in Independent University Bangladesh to encourage them to participate in various hardware based projects, competition etc.

1. Introduction to Arduino

2. Why Arduino?
• It is inexpensive and comes with free authoring software
• Cross-platform - The Arduino software (Arduino IDE) runs on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux
operating systems. Most microcontroller systems are limited to Windows.
• It is an open-source project, software/hardware is extremely accessible and very flexible to be
customized and extended
• It is flexible, offers a variety of digital and analog inputs, SPI and serial interface and digital
and PWM outputs
• Simple, clear programming environment - The Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for
beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. The programming
language used is based on C++

11. The Arduino IDE- Basics:

25. 1

26. Pin 13
LED
1000 Ω Resistor

27. // the setup function runs once when you press reset
or power the board void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN
as an output. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN,
OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on
(HIGH is the voltage
level)
LOW
delay(1000);
}
// wait for
a second
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the
voltage
