Arduino is a micro controller that can be manipulated to solve a variety of problems. It's easy to use nature makes it very popular among new coders and engineers. You can purchase kits to help you work on coding the system.
The first assignment is to blink a single LED.
Notice the red and black wires supplying the cirucit with power.
The delays in the code are what makes the LED blink.
A knob that can limit the brightness of an LED.
The blue knob is the potentiometer, which changes the brightness of the LED.
The LED is a different brightness when the knob is turned.
A LED that lights up into multiple different colors.
Notice the larger LED.
Each different color has a set of values to it.
Multiple LEDs that activate on and off to make a pattern .
The LEDs are lined up to create a pattern.
All of the different LEDs are assigned to light up at different times.
In this circuit, we use a button to activate a LED.
The two buttons are what activates the LED.
Notice that the buttons are labeled has inputs in the code.
This circuit is a LED that goes from bright to dim depending on how much light it receives.
The photo sensor detects light so it turns on the LED.
Look at the parameters that show what high and low light levels are.
A sensor that can read the temperature and then posts it in the code.
The sensor one the board is able to provide a reading of the temperature.
The important line here is the formula that provide a voltage based on the temperature.
A small buzzer that can play notes to create a song.
The black circle will produce a sound and that can be turned into a song.
See how the beats affect the out come of the song.
