The arduino way“the Arduino philosophy is based on making designs rather

than talking about them. It is a constant search for faster

and more powerful ways to build better prototypes. We

have explored many prototyping techniques and developed

ways of thinking with our hands.: • Prototyping• Tinkering• Patching• Circuit bending• Hacking• collaboration

Electronics 101

• Current is a circle – starts at an i/o port, flows to GRND

• Use red for positive wires (from output)• Use black for negative wires (to GRND)

• Look it up, before you hook it up

Standalone example

Hello world! (=blink)

Hello world! (=blink)/* Blink Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly. This example code is in the public domain. */ // Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.// give it a name:int led = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:void setup() { // initialize the digital pin as an output. pinMode(led, OUTPUT); }

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:void loop() { digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second}
