Objectives

The objective of this workshop is to introduce the basics of microcontroller programming. This was developed as part of joint SEMS/WIT workshop, summer 2016.

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. In this lab, you will perform a few basic experments using the Arduino. You will learn how to:

  • Connect an Arduino to your laptop
  • Create an electronic circuit using standard components
  • Write code that runs on the arduino and interacts with electronic components

Arduino IDE

You will need to go here and download the correct Arduino IDE for your particular OS.

SEMS/WIT workshop

Once you have the IDE installed, go here and try the experiments. You can use the Arduino kits provided in the lab to do this.
