01/21/13Arduino 101 with Ted Markson / Jim Sweeney Class Goals  Introduce the Arduino to everyone  Look at some cool projects you can do!  Setup and orient students in the Arduino IDE  Upload to an Arduino Uno  Start basic tutorials

01/21/13Arduino 101 with Ted Markson / Jim Sweeney Introduction

01/21/13Arduino 101 with Ted Markson / Jim Sweeney What the heck is Arduino?  Based on a simple micro-controller board, and  A development environment (IDE) for writing software for the board  Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.  The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.  Let’s get the word right from the horses mouth:  page&v=UoBUXOOdLXY page&v=UoBUXOOdLXY
