The Arduino platform was developed by a team of students and teachers to create an easy-to-use and affordable electronics prototyping platform. It was inspired by Processing and aims to be open source and support a community of users sharing projects and knowledge. The Arduino hardware acts as a microcontroller that can read input and control output to create interactive projects, while the software provides an easy programming environment to code these projects.

INTRODUCTION

2. 2
WHAT IS ARDUINO?
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for anyone making interactive projects.

3. 3
HISTORY
Arduino project was made by a team of students and teachers from the interaction design school of Ivrea.

Gianluca Martino, David Mellis, David Cuartielles,
Tom Igoe, Massimo Banzi et Nicholas Zambetti.
HISTORY

5. 5
The inspiration come from processing, a programation language develloped in 2001 by Casey Reas and Ben Fry, two students of John Maeda from M.I.T..

ADVANTAGES
* Simple to use
* Cheap
* Open Source
* Multi-plateforms

7. 7
PHILOSOPHY &
COMMUNITY
Arduino project is based on a principle of open Source which has help it to have a quick developpement thanks to a community who work on the software and hardware.
There are several tools to share and learn:
- Blog (http://blog.arduino.cc/)
- Forum (http://forum.arduino.cc/)
- Wiki (http://playground.arduino.cc/)

ARDUINO = TWO THINGS
Hardware for prototyping
Software for programing

PLATEFORM (HARDWARE)
Arduino is like a brain who going to make logical connections between an action and a sense.
For example, if we read a text:
The eyes (INPUT) see the image of the text, the brain (ARDUINO) read and make the interpretation for the mouth (OUTPUT) who’s make the sound of the reading text.

A LITTLE BIT OF LANGUAGE
pinMode() – Define your pin as an input or output.
digitalWrite() – Send a binary value (high/low) to a pin.
digitalRead() – Read a binary value (high/low) from a pin.
analogRead() – Read a analogic value (from 0 to 1024) from a pin.
analogWrite() – Send a analogic value (from 0 to 255) to a pin.
delay() – allow a to make a break, arduino clock count in milliseconds.

FIRST INTERACTION
Plug your led like the image.

HOW TO PLUG A LED?
Led have a way to plug it, one negative leg and one positive leg. Three ways to find the good way:
- Usually longest leg is +
- Truncate side is -
- The biggest part inside the led is -

28. 28
int led = 13;
void setup() {
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
FIRST INTERACTION
Try to change delay.
