1. Arduino/C++ WEEK 3 – ARDUINOS ARE HERE! PRESENTED BY: UBCO IEEE STUDENT BRANCH & NICHOLAS KROEKER

2. OMG ARDUINOs!!! THE EXCITEMENT OF CHILDREN ADULTS EVERYWHERE

3. Just kidding, Breadboards First. THESE ARE FUN TOO.

4. But first, what is a breadboard?  Full name is “Solderless Breadboard”; the solderless part is assumed  Essentially, a breadboard is a things with a bunch of holes that you stick parts in.  The solderless part means you don’t actually have to solder the parts together in order to have electrical connectivity* *But ask Nic how many times he’s spent hours tracking down a loose connection…

5. But first, what is a breadboard?

7. Basically, avoid this.

8. Arduino Time!  Care is of the utmost importance  NO STATIC!! – try to touch something metal (preferably grounded)  Avoid lovely, warm, fleecy clothing  Avoid stomping around on carpets  Avoid plastic chairs + movement  Don’t breathe  Until you know better, only use USB for power  Automagical anti-static protection  It’s current-limited by your computer, and only supplies a max of 5V  Nothing you do with the Arduino (or USB cable) will damage your computer* *unless of course you find some higher voltage somehow to pump through, but that might still be fine

9. What you got VS. What we said ATmega32u4  16MHz 8-bit AVR architecture  32kiB of flash/program memory (non-volatile)  2.5kiB SRAM  1kiB EEPROM Storage (electrically- erasable programmable read-only memory)  Full-Speed USB (12Mib/s or 1.5MiB/s)  Can act as any device!! ATmega328p  16MHz 8-bit AVR architecture  32kiB of flash/program memory (non-volatile)  2.0kiB SRAM  1kIB EEPROM Storage

10. CHINA vs. AMERICA (via China)

11. ARDUINO TIME!! COMMENCE FUN.

12. Arduino IDE Setup  Launch the Arduino IDE  Click through Tools  Board, select Arduino Micro  Yes, you have to do this every time.  Click through Tools  Serial Port, select the right one  We’ll figure this out  Yes, this every time as well. Some computers even assign a new COM port when you unplug/plug-in the Arduino to the same USB port.  Click through File  Examples  01.Basic  Blink  Stare at code intensely until it does something cool
