A short introduction to microcontrollers and Arduino programming.
- Intro to Microcontrollers with Arduino presentation (powerpoint (.pptx), PDF).
- Digital inputs and outputs (IO)
- Analog inputs and outputs (IO)
The material required for this introduction is the following:
- An Arduino UNO or Arduino Micro board*,
- a prototyping breadboard with power rails,
- a light emitting diode (LED),
- a 220 ohm resistor (red-red-brown-gold stripes),
- a momentary pushbutton,
- a 10k ohm potentiometer.
*Note that the images used in the examples show an Arduino Micro however, all examples are compatible with the Arduino Uno using the same pin numbers unless otherwise specified.
The code of the examples is available in the examples folder.
This introduction to Arduino programming assumes you have already installed the Arduino IDE and successfully connected your Arduino to your computer. The links below may be useful to get started with your Arduino:
