Arduino Programming
Week 4 (Tutorial) For the tutorial in week 4, we were introduced to Arduino Programming. Background Information Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software, used for building electronics projects. It consists of a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). One can use the IDE to write a set of instructions (commands) to be uploaded into the circuit board (input), and the circuit board will be able to execute the command (output). Parts of the Maker Uno Edu Kit Figure 1: Parts of an Arduino Maker-Uno Board This is the Micro USB B Type Connector . This USB connection is how the Maker-Uno Board will be connected to a computer or power source. The Reset Button is used to restart the Maker-Uno Board from scratch. Any code that has been uploaded into the Maker-Uno Board will be forgotten by the board. This is the Programmable Button . It can b
