• 2.
  Who am I •Developer working in the Air Transporation Sector • Playing with Arduino since early 2009 • Organiser of Sheffield Arduino Hackers Network (SHACKNET)
• 3.
  What is Arduino •Arduino is Lego turned up to 11 • Open Source hardware platform • Open Source software and libraries • Physical Computing, allowing interaction with the environment • Build anything from a flashing light to robots that can interact with the internet • Inexpensive and FUN 
• 4.
  What is anArduino 14 Digital Pins (6 PWM) Reset USB Connector External Power Supply Power Pins 6 Analog Inputs Power LED ATmega AVR TX/RX LED
• 5.
  Arduino Specification • MicrocontrollerATmega 168/328 • Clock Speed 16 MHz • Operating Voltage 5V • Digital I/O Pins 14 (6 provide PWM output) • Analog Input Pins 6 • Flash Memory 16 KB (Atmega168) or 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 2 KB used by bootloader • SRAM 1 KB (ATmega168) or 2 KB (ATmega328) • EEPROM - 512 bytes (ATmega168) or 1 KB (ATmega328) • Provides I2C and SPI
• 6.
  Other flavours ofArduino Arduino Mini Arduino Nano Arduino Lilypad Arduino Pro Arduino Pro Mini Arduino Mega Arduino Fio Arduino Bluetooth And many Clones
• 7.
  Arduino Shields • Shieldsare boards that can be plugged in to provide additional capabilities • Examples Xbee – Wireless connectivity DMX – Control lights Ethernet, GPS, Bluetooth • Shieldlist.org
• 8.
  Programming Arduino • Languagebased on C/C++ linked to AVR-libc library http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc • Open Source Libraries (LCD, string) • Official IDE written in Java • Runs on Windows, Linux and MacOS
• 9.
  Programming Arduino • Usesother editors such as Eclipse with Arduino Plugin • RAD – Ruby Arduino Development

  Hello World int ledPin= 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on delay(1000); // waits for a second digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off delay(1000); // waits for a second }
