jim The STEAM Clown's Presentations, Lectures,  & Lessons

These are Arduino lessons that have been created by jim The STEAM Clown.  I'm all about open source and These interpretations are primarily the Intellectual Property of Jim Burnham, TopClown@steamclown.org, at www.STEAMClown.org. They tend to be original source, but also retelling of other public domain content.  These presentations and content are distributed under the Creative Commons License CC-by-nc-sa-3.0.  My best attempt to properly attribute, or reference any other images, sources or work I have used are listed in Appendix B of each presentation.  They all are works in progress, and will change or get updated any time.  If you are a teacher and would like to connect with me and get access to the source power point slides, please contact me at jim.The.STEAM.Clown@gmail.com. Teachers, please feel free to use these Lessons / Lectures... just keep my attributions in place...  If you, have created material you would like to share, use or know of other good Arduino or code teaching sites, please point me to them

My Summer 2019 plan it to revamp these into a better flow and an introduction to each lesson, what you need to do it, or teach it...   Right now they are in a rough order of how I teach them in my Mechatronics Engineering class

• Lesson 1 - Arduino Introduction

• Lesson 2 - Algorithms and Flow Charting

• Lesson 3 - Program Control <-- working on splinting this up

• Lesson 4 - Blinking an LED Plus a Switch

• Lesson 5 - If / Else If / Else

• Lesson 6 - For Loops

• Lesson 7 - While Loops <-- part of the Program Control Lesson right now

• Lesson 8 - Sensors <-- missing, but linked to other pages, where students can learn how to use them

  • Link: Photoresistor

  • Link: Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor

  • Link: Ultrasonic Sensor - HC-SR04

  • Link: PIR Motion Sensor

• Lesson 9 - DC Motors & the Dual H-Brigde Controller

• Lesson 10 - Servo Motors
