What is an Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform designed to make experimenting with electronics more fun and intuitive. Arduino has its own unique, simplified programming language, a vast support network, and thousands of potential uses, making it the perfect platform for both beginner and advanced DIY enthusiasts.

This is a picture of me working on the arduino board of Circuit #8

ORIGINAL CODE

Circuit #1 - Blinking an LED

Info: Manipulating code so that blink is barely visible

Modified Code: Blink Barely Visible

Circuit #2 - Explaining the potentiometer

Notice how the light flickers/blinks faster/slower whenever I turn the knob(Potentiometer)

A potentiometer divides voltage.

Circuit #3 - RGB LED

Circuit #4 - Multiple LEDs

Initial Sketch
void oneAfterAnotherLoop()

{

int index;

int delayTime = 100; // milliseconds to pause between LEDs

// make this smaller for faster switching

// Turn all the LEDs on:

// This for() loop will step index from 0 to 7

// (putting "++" after a variable means add one to it)

// and will then use digitalWrite() to turn that LED on.

for(index = 0; index <= 7; index++)

{

digitalWrite(ledPins[index], HIGH);

delay(delayTime);

void pingPong()

{

int index;

int delayTime = 100; // milliseconds to pause between LEDs

// make this smaller for faster switching

// step through the LEDs, from 0 to 7

for(index = 0; index <= 7; index++)

{

digitalWrite(ledPins[index], HIGH); // turn LED on

delay(delayTime); // pause to slow down

digitalWrite(ledPins[index], LOW); // turn LED off

}

// step through the LEDs, from 7 to 0

for(index = 7; index >= 0; index--)

{

digitalWrite(ledPins[index], HIGH); // turn LED on

delay(delayTime); // pause to slow down

digitalWrite(ledPins[index], LOW); // turn LED off

Circuit #6 - Night Light

Notice how the sketch detects the light change whenever I put my finger over the light detector.

Circuit #7 - Temperature Sensor

Circuit #8 - A Single Servo

Circuit #9 - Buzzer
