Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.
Arduino first and foremost is an open-source computer hardware and software company. The Arduino Communityrefers to the project and user community that designs and utilizes microcontroller-based development boards. These development boards are known as Arduino Modules, which are open-source prototyping platforms.
This course is a brief introduction about the Arduino platform. It is aggregating in one document most of the information available on the Arduino website.
Topic: Low cost computing using the Raspberry PI and other single board computing platforms. Overview of the growing low cost computing environment and demo of basic configuration of the Raspberry PI and Arduino for home and business projects.
A microcontroller (MCU for microcontroller unit, or UC for μ-controller) is a small computer on a single integrated circuit. In modern terminology, it is similar to, but less sophisticated than, a system on a chip (SoC); an SoC may include a microcontroller as one of its components.
In the 1970s, researchers Kenneth Thomas and Ralph Kilmann developed a model for conflict resolution.
It was called the Thomas-Kilmann model after them.
Under this model, the term ‘conflict’ is described as the condition in which people’s concerns can’t be compared with the others.
If two or more people or groups care about things that are contradictory to each other, then the outcome is conflict.

What is a Humanoid Anyway?
Humanoid refers to any being whose body structure resembles that of a human: head, torso, legs, arms, hands.
But it is also a robot made to resemble a human both in appearance and behaviour.
The difference between a robot and android is only skin-deep, looks exactly like humans on the outside, but with internal mechanics of humanoid robot.
More rational reasons
They can work in human environment without a need to adapt themselves or to change the environment
Our environment and our tools are adapted for us
Why adapt all to robots?
It is easier for a human being to interact with a human-like being

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Introduction To Embedded
System
An embedded system is a computer system with a dedicated
function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often
with real-time computing constraints.
It is embedded as part of a complete device often including
hardware and mechanical parts. Embedded systems control
many devices in common use today.
Ninety-eight percent of all microprocessors are manufactured as
components of embedded systems.
6. Arduino
Arduino is a prototype platform (open-source) based on an easy-to-use
hardware and software.
It consists of a circuit board, which can be programmed (referred to as a
micro-controller ) and a ready-made software called Arduino IDE
(Integrated Development Environment), which is used to write and
upload the computer code to the physical board.
7. The key features are
Arduino boards are able to read analog or digital input signals from
different sensors and turn it into an output such as activating a motor,
turning LED on/off, connect to the cloud and many other actions.
You can control your board functions by sending a set of instructions to the
micro-controller on the board via Arduino IDE (referred to as uploading
software).
Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, Arduino does not need
an extra piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load a new
code onto the board. You can simply use a USB cable.
Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it
easier to learn to program.
Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks the functions
of the micro-controller into a more accessible package.
8. Board types
Various kinds of Arduino boards are available depending on different
micro-controllers used. However, all Arduino boards have one thing in
common: they are programmed through the Arduino IDE.
The differences are based on the number of inputs and outputs (the
number of sensors, LEDs, and buttons you can use on a single board),
speed, operating voltage, form factor etc. Some boards are designed to
be embedded and have no programming interface (hardware), which
you would need to buy separately. Some can run directly from a 3.7V
battery, others need at least 5V.
Arduino boards based on ATMEGA328 micro-controller
Arduino boards based on ATMEGA32u4 micro-controller
Arduino boards based on ATMEGA2560 micro-controller
9. Arduino uno
We will study the Arduino UNO board because it is the most popular
board in the Arduino board family. In addition, it is the best board to
get started with electronics and coding. Some boards look a bit
different from the one given below, but most Arduino have majority of
these components in common.
10.
11. Description of board
❑ Pin1 - Power USB - Arduino board can be powered by using the USB cable from your
computer. All you need to do is connect the USB cable to the USB connection (1).
❑ Pin2 - Power (Barrel Jack) - Arduino boards can be powered directly from the AC
mains power supply by connecting it to the Barrel Jack (2).
❑ Pin3 - Voltage Regulator - The function of the voltage regulator is to control the
voltage given to the Arduino board and stabilise the DC voltages used by the
processor and other elements.
❑ Pin4 - Crystal Oscillator - The crystal oscillator helps Arduino in dealing with time
issues. How does Arduino calculate time? The answer is, by using the crystal
oscillator. The number printed on top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us
that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16 MHz.
❑ Pin5 - Arduino Reset - You can reset your Arduino board, i.e., start your program from
the beginning. You can reset the UNO board in two ways. First, by using the reset
button (17) on the board. Second, you can connect an external reset button to the
Arduino pin labelled RESET (5).

36. MSP430 Development
hardware
The MSP430 contains several families, from the
low cost Value family to the most advanced
F6xx family. Each family is usually targeted at a set
of applications and contains a certain mix of
peripherals. In a family, however, devices vary as
far as the amount of Flash and RAM available.
It is not unusual to develop using relatively large
devices in a family, only to migrate down to reduce
costs. Because of this, the tutorial will end up
discussing several platforms, but will attempt to
cover the lowest denominator first to make it
accessible.
The MSP430 Launchpad is the most accessible
MSP430 platform and although the devices
supported do not have all the peripherals of some
of the mode advanced MSP430, it does cover so
many peripherals that it makes it an ideal platform
for starting.
37. MSP430 Development
hardware
➢ The MSP430 Launchpad is an easy way to get started with the MSP430.
For a long time the board was sold at a promotional cost of $4.30,
although it’s now available for $9.99. Still, the cost makes it difficult to
say no. You can get one from TI’s Website.
➢ The board contains a DIP socket capable of accepting most variants of
the MSP430Gxx family. The most common device used is the
MSP430G2553, which is a part running up to 16MHz with 16kB of flash
and 512B of RAM. The USB connectivity on the board allows both
programming with the on-board JTAG programmer, as well as UART
communications for data transfer.
➢ The board can be augmented with booster packs designed by TI and
third parties that enable Wireless Communications, Wi-Fi, Batteries,
Displays, and other elements.

41. MSP430F5529 Launchpad
This MSP430F5529 Launchpad is one
of the latest Launchpads. The F5529
along with the F55xx family integrate a
USB Controller, opening the door to
new applications and possibilities
previously requiring a dedicated USB to
UART converter. For a price of $12.99
you get an MSP430 that can go up to
25MHz, has 128kB of Flash and 8kB of
RAM. With USB you can implement
CDC, HID and MSC classes so you
can be a serial port, a mouse or act as
an SD card.
This board uses the same form factor
as the classic MSP430 Launchpad, so
booster boards can be reused.
42. MSP4305438 Experimenter
Board
The MSP430F5438 and MSP430F5438A are
quite popular devices due to the fact that they
have 256kB of flash. Being some of the largest
MSP430 devices makes them ideal for
prototyping to support a wide range of
applications. Some of the features of the board:
100 pin socket enabling quick insertion and
removal of devices
Dot-Matrix LCD with Backlight
Audio Jack output with on-board Audio Amplifier
3-Axis Analog Accelerometer
5 position Joystick for navigation
EM Connector headers supporting TI Low
Power Transceiver Modules
43. EZ430-RF2500 Kit
Designed as a USB Stick, it is one of the most popular kits available
from TI for those looking to try the MSP430 with a Wireless
Transceiver. This inexpensive kit allows you to start using the
CC2500 transceiver, a 2.4GHz radio that has become quite popular,
especially given the kit’s $49 price.
One side of the stick contains the FET programming circuitry allow
Spy-Bi-Wire communications with the MSP430 for debugging. The
other contains the MSP430F2274 with the CC2500 and all circuitry
needed for a connection. The MSP430F2274 is a relatively small
device, 32kB of Flash and 1kB of RAM, so applications can be
limited (especially by the RAM). Out of the box demo shows
connecting the EZ430-RF2500 wirelessly to monitor temperature and
voltage
44. JTAG Programmer
Programming, Debugging and Flashing the MSP430 is done via the
JTAG interface, or its pin reduced version called Spy-Bi-Wire.
Although this JTAG is based on the IEEE 1149.1 Joint Test Action
Group (JTAG) specification, TI has made modifications which mean
that a MSP430 specific programmer must be used. The USB-FET
is probably the most common programmer. A parallel port version
was once available but has since become extinct given the
disappearance of parallel ports and the emergence of USB.
The USB FET programmer is supported by practically all compilers
and IDEs, including Code Composer Studio, IAR Workbench and
Open source tools. The USB-FET programmer can be purchased
from TI.
