3. Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of
interrelated computing devices,
mechanical and digital machines, objects,
animals or people that are provided with
unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability
to transfer data over a network without
requiring human-to-human or human-to-
computer interaction.

5. WHAT IS MICROCONTROLLER?
• A micro-controller is basically a small-scale computer with
generalised (and programable) input and output
• The input and outputs can be manipulated by and can manipulate the
physical world.
• Programmers work in the virtual world.
• Machinery work in the physical world.

6. WHAT IS MICROCONTROLLER?

7. Massimo Banzi,Tinker.it & Arduino Co-Founder
``Physical Computing is about prototyping with electronics, turning
sensors, actuators and microcontrollers into materials for designers
and artists.’’
``It involves the design of interactive objects that can communicate
with humans using sensors and actuators controlled by a behaviour
implemented as software running inside a microcontroller.’’

8. Arduino
A Prototype Platform
Single-board microcontroller, intended
to make the application of interactive
objects or environments more accessible
Designed to make the process of using
electronics multidisciplinary projects
more accessible
Circuitry which executes instructions in
programmable Integrated Circuit

9. Arduino Can …
• Sense the environment by receiving input from variety of sensors.
• Affect it surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other
actuators.
• Support Standalone Applications
• Integrate with Computer / other process

10. Arduino / Microcontrollers a.k.a. Physical Computing
• “Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control
more of the physical world than your desktop computer.”
• A micro-controller is essentially a brain – or, think of a bunch of
programmable “elves…”
• It is the guts of something like Vernier, Pasco, or Fourier

13. Install the Arduino Software (IDE)
• Download the Arduino Software (IDE)
• https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
• Proceed with board specific instruction (For ESP8266)
• At Preference,
add “http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json”
to Additional Boards Manager URLs:
• At Board manager,
Install “”

14. Install the Arduino Software (IDE)

15. Configure ESP8266
• Menu Tools -> Board: … -> Generic ESP8266 Module
• Config parameters
• Upload Speed: “115200”
• Flash Size : 4M (1M SPIFFS)
• Flash Mode: “DIO”
• Reset Mode: “nodemcu”

16. Arduino
Minimum Code
setup : It is called only when the
Arduino is powered on or reset. It is
used to initialize variables and pin
modes
loop : The loop functions runs
continuously till the device is
powered off. The main logic of the
code goes here. Similar to while (1)
for micro-controller programming.

20. PIN MODES
• A pin on arduino can be set as input or output by using pinMode
function.
• pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // sets pin 13 as output pin
• pinMode(13, INPUT); // sets pin 13 as input pin

26. DELAY
• Delays are essential in
embedded systems, unlike
high-performance systems
where we want the program
to execute as fast as possible
• Delays are used to
synchronize events, or read
inputs with a specific
sampling freqency (more on
Bus/Wait I/O)
• Arduino example:
delay(int milliseconds)
//creates a delay in ms
delayMicroseconds(int microseconds)
//creates a delay in µs
delay(1000); //one second delay
delayMicroseconds(10); //10 µs delay

35. INPUT vs. OUTPUT
Inputs is a signal / information going
into the board.
Examples: Buttons Switches, Light
Sensors, Flex Sensors, Humidity
Sensors, Temperature Sensors…
Output is any signal exiting the board.
Examples: LEDs, DC motor, servo
motor, a piezo buzzer, relay, an RGB
LED

36. Input and Output
A Sensor is a converter that measures
a physical quantity and converts it into
a signal which can be read by an
observer or by an (today mostly
electronic) instrument.
An Actuator is a type of motor for
moving or controlling a mechanism or
system. It is operated by a source of
energy, typically electric current,
hydraulic fluid pressure, or pneumatic
pressure, and converts that energy
into motion. An actuator is the
mechanism by which a control system
acts upon an environment.

37. Sensor Calibration
• Resolution: The smallest change it can detect
in the quantity that it is measuring. The
followig formula may be used (where S is the
measurment span, e.g., 0-100deg.C):
• Accuracy: How close the measured value is
the the actual/real value, eg., ±0.1 %
• Calibration: A comparison between measurements. One of known magnitude
or correctness made or set with one device and another measurement made in
as similar a way as possible with a second device. The device with the known
or assigned correctness is called the standard. The second device is the unit
under test, test instrument, or any of several other names for the device being
calibrated.

38. Digital Sensor
Digital sensors are more straight forward than
Analog
No matter what the sensor there are only two
settings: On and Off
Signal is always either HIGH (On) or LOW (Off)
Voltage signal for HIGH will be a little less than 3.3V
on your ESP
Voltage signal for LOW will be 0V on most systems
void loop()
{
int buttonState = digitalRead(5);
if(buttonState == LOW)
{ // do something
}
else
{ // do something else
}
}
