UNO EDITION

Fun with ArduinoAN INTRODUCTION TO EMBEDDED SYSTEMs

Hi there and welcome! My name is UNO and I will be your personal assistant

throughout this course! Below are some of the projects we will be building

today!

1. Strobe Light

2. Running LEDs

3. Musical Touch

4. Musical Violin

Software

Your mission is to gather more than 300 XP points

to UPGRADE yourself into a Young Maker!

5

Horizontal holes are linked together

Vertical holes are linked together too! but not across

the divider

Do you know how the name ‘breadboard’ came about?

6

The higher the resistance, the

lower the current. That’s why the

LED gets dimmer!

Voltage 9 V

Resistance 220 Ω Resistance 1000 Ω

Voltage (V) = Current (A) x Resistance (Ω)

Current0.027 A

Current0.006 A

DimmerBrighter

Voltage 9 V

7

Rounded side (‘+’ Positive)

Flat side(‘-’ Negative)

Shorter lead (‘-’ Negative)

Longer lead (‘+’ Positive)

Remember! The LED won’t light

up if the polarity is reversed!

8

Step 1:

Turn on your laptop and connect your MAKER UNO, look for Arduino IDE icon and double click on it

Raise your hand if you have any questions!

9

Step 2:

Select File > New

10

Step 3:

Select Tools > Board > Arduino/Genuino Uno

Before programming the MAKER UNO, you have to select the correct ‘Board’

11

Step 4:

Select Tools > Port > COM ‘#’, where ‘#’ can be any number

Can’t find COM10? Don’t worry! The COM port

always appears in different numbers! Pick the one that

appears on your screen

Click to upload

50 XP points

Try changing different ‘delay’ values and observe the behaviour of the LED

15

HardwareHold it! Do not

remove the circuit from Project 1!

Just add two more LEDs to your

existing circuit

Light up the LED in sequence...

Upload code no.1, then try code no.2, do you see any difference?

100 XP points17

Hardware

Don’t forget to turn on the

buzzer switch

Play musical tones by touching the pencil lead...

Brown blackgreen or 1MΩ

18

Software

100 XP points

You can play different tones

by changing tone(8, 262) to tone(8, 294).. Give it a try!

19

Hardware

Create a violin using a DC motor...

Once you’ve uploaded your code, spin the fan blade and

see what happens!

Serial MonitorHere’s a tip! Use the ‘Serial Monitor’ to view how high the value can go when you spin the

fan blades

1. How to use a Breadboard

2. How to light up LEDs in sequence

3. How to code using ‘for loop’ and ‘if.. else’ statements

4. How to build an electronic instrument using capacitive

sensor
