boxand some PCBs
what is it all about?
Let’s go back in history
Once upon a timethere was an 8051 micro controller
Ah, forget it.
History is nice, but why bother
What you really need to know is
Microcontroller is a computer in a chip
aka small black box with a lot of pins
And thenthere was this Italian dude
Massimo Banziand friends
Drum roll please
Heeeere’s duinoI mean Ar…
A lot of boards
uno, due, Leonardo, Yun, Tre, Zero, Micro, Esplora,
Mega, Ethernet, Mega 2560, Robot, Mini, Nano ….
Just check arduino.ccfor the latest count
But it is just a boardso how to communicate with THE REAL world?
I present youthe shield
Ooops…wrong image
I present youthe shield(s)
Lots, LOTSof them
It’s open way of design, after all
So if there is no shield to satisfy you.
You can build one.
But how do you make it communicate?
Arduino IDE
But it only works on Windows
and Mac OSX
and Linux
Oh, wait ….
it works EVERYWHERE
Yes, I was kidding with “it only works on Windows”
Yes, it is a bad joke.
No, I will not repeat that.
Back to the topic.
Coding for Arduino is like coding in C
Oh, wait … it is C.
But it’s really easy.analog read and send data to computer
There are libraries.
And a lot of ideas all over the inter webs[1]
[1] 2009. Die Antwoord, Enter the ninja
You can wear Arduino
in a heartbeat
Have some automation to do?
Enter the Arduino
That is all nice and dandy, but you can’t create a smart watch
I’m glad you asked
:)
You can do, whatever you want.
Seriously.
And remember kids.
