Coding with hardware

A quick talk about Arduino

What is an arduino?

A little history

Started in 2005 at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea by one of the teachers there Massimo Banzi

Open.source to the (hard)core

"Open-source physical computing platform"

- Simple and clean to use

- Fully open-source IDE

- Fully open-source hardware

- And Cross platform

Price

From about $60 and down to $5 depending on type++

Boards

( The most popular ones )

Arduino UNO

ATmega328p ( 14 IO pins ( 6 as PWM ) + 6 Analog Inputs )

Arduino Leonardo

ATmega32u4 ( 20 IO pins (7 as PWM and 12 as Analog Inputs ) and build in usb comm )

Arduino Mega

ATmega2560 ( 54 IO pins (15 as PWM ), 16 as Analog Inputs and 4 UARTs )

What do you do with them?

Well, you build stuff!

Here are some examples

A wrist watch

BigTime Watch Kit ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11734 )

A Internet radio

FabFM Radio Kit ( https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11043 )

Quadcopter

The list is as long as you imagination....

So how do I get started?

The code

Based on wiring ,a simplified version of c++

Easy to learn and well documentet at http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage
