Arduino Workshop

Oh there you are. Perfect! At first, we have to download the Arduino software. We will use it to program the Arduino board. In the… Read More »Unit 1 – Preparation

Now, I’m gonna show you the Arduino. That is a pretty decent thing. The Arduino-Board is like a small computer. We can program it and… Read More »Unit 2 – The Arduino Board

Current always flows from plus pole to minus pole. You already know that from batteries. They’ve got a plus and a minus side. If you… Read More »Unit 3 – Circuit

But now let’s really build something. Take two LEDs, two long patch cables, a resistor, the breadboard and the Arduino and build the following circuit.… Read More »Unit 4 – Our first Circuit

You already used the breadboard but we totally forgot to talk about it. We can use a breadboard (protoboard) to connect electrical components. Inside the… Read More »Unit 5 – How to use a Breadboard

Until now we only used the Arduino as power source. Now it is time to program something, right? Parts Circuit Build the following circuit. (You… Read More »Unit 6 – Digital Out Circuit

Did you build the circuit from Unit 6? Perfect! If you already connected the Arduino to the computer plug it out again. Open the Arduino… Read More »Unit 7 – Digital Out: Your first program!

Did your LED light up? Good work! Now let’s make it blinking. In order to make a LED blinking we need to switch it on… Read More »Unit 8 – It’s alive!

A very important thing in programming are variables. I guess you already know it from math class. If you say x=10 it means that everywhere… Read More »Unit 9 – How to use Variables

A great thing in programming are loops like the for-loop. It repeats tasks like blinking an LED a specific number. For the following project, you… Read More »Unit 10 – For-Loop and the LED calculator
