Getting started with Arduino! – Chapter Zero

Getting started with Arduino! – Chapter Zero
Hello world! Updated 24/11/2012 Please join with us as we learn about electronics and the Arduino! Together through this series of tutorials I would like to share with you a journey of learning, exploration and fun with the Arduino system, and make some enjoyable, useful, interesting, useless and practical things. So let’s get started… There are over fifty chapters in this series, however you should start here (chapter zero). Getting Started with Arduino (Massimo Banzi) and also assume a basic knowledge of electronics. If you would prefer an off-line method of learning, or would like a great book on the topic – consider my book “Arduino Workshop” – it’s the best book on the market for a complete beginner to learn about Arduino. First of all, let’s breakdown the whole system into the basic parts. Arduino is an open source physical computing platform based on a simple input/output board and a development environment that implements the Processing language (www.processing.org). Great! Notes:

Geiger Counter - Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino Contents Go to IndexManifesto The main finality of the Radiation Sensor Board for Arduino is to help people in Japan to measure the levels of radiation in their everyday life after the unfortunate earthquake and tsunami struck Japan in March 2011 and cause the nuclear radiation leakages in Fukushima. We want to give the chance to measure by themselves this levels instead of trusting in the general advises which are being broadcasted. The usage of this sensor board along with the affordable and easy to use Arduino platform helps people to get radiation values from specific places. As technical guys, we feel the responsibility of providing our support in those areas where we can contribute. The design of the board is open hardware and the source code is released under GPL. The Libelium Team. Go to IndexThe Board The radiation board has two main parts, the power circuit and the signal circuit . Radiation Sensor Board with the SBM-20 Geiger Tube Connecting the Radiation board to Arduino It means:

NRF24L01-2.4GHz-HowTo Having two or more Arduinos be able to communicate with each other wirelessly over a distance opens lots of possibilities:Remote sensors for temperature, pressure, alarms, much moreRobot control and monitoring from 50 feet to 2000 feet distancesRemote control and monitoring of nearby or neighborhood buildingsAutonomous vehicles of all kinds These are a series of 2.4 GHz Radio modules that are all based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF24L01+ chip. (Details) The Nordic nRF24L01+ integrates a complete 2.4GHz RF transceiver, RF synthesizer, and baseband logic including the Enhanced ShockBurst™ hardware protocol accelerator supporting a high-speed SPI interface for the application controller. The low-power short-range (200 feet or so)Transceiver is available on a board with Arduino interface and built-in Antenna for less than $3! See it here. NOTE! Power Problems: Many users have had trouble getting the nRF24L01 modules to work. Range?? More Information on these pages:

nRF24L01 Six Channels To One Receiver | ITead Studio As we mentioned before , IBOX can run various versions of operating systems, including linux and android , etc. Some guys are wondering about the differences between the operating system of FLASH version and SD card version, thus we’d like to give a simple reply here : Whether it is linux or Android, NAND FLASH version and the SD card version only differ in the installation position: one is installed in the NAND FLASH and another is installed in a Micro-SD card. At present, IBOX boot sequence gives priority to SD card, if there is an SD card and a system that can run on the SD card , it will boot directly from the SD card. Here, the vedio shows booting into the system with a few different versions of Linux and Android. We would like to thank Santyago , who offers Sunflower Linux 1.0 Beta system for Iteaduio Plus A10 users. For more information, please click HERE.

Windmeter / Anemometer by Infidigm Overview The Windmeter is an anemometer designed to measure and record wind speed distribution from 0 to 17+ meters per second. It was designed for high reliability, ease of construction, and for a wide environmental range. Data is logged over a period of 30.46 days (1/12 of a year), and then saved for 11 months. The data can be retrieved with a laptop computer any time within the 12 months of logging. Here are examples of Actual Data that the Windmeter generates! Skills Required General Electronic Knowledge SMD Soldering PCB Prototyping (Single layer) General Mechanical Knowledge Wood working / power tool / hand tool usage Mechanics of the Windmeter / Anemometer Description The Windmeter / Anemometer is constructed from common parts and supplies. Assembly Read the entire document before beginning construction. Parts List Tools Needed Here is a list of the major tools that were used to make the mechanical parts of the Windmeter.

System of SD card version cannot work in NAND FLASH, vice versa. At present, IBOX boot sequence gives priority to SD card, if there is an SD card and a system that can run on the SD card , it will boot directly from the SD card. If there is no SD card or no operating system that can run on the SD card, the system will boot from NAND FLASH.

“Airduino” Scungy Anemometer Part 2: Digital Connections and Interrupts « Keith's Electronics Blog In part 1 , I described making a propeller out of foil to measure the airflow of my air conditioning system, building an optointerruptor from an LED and a CdS photocell, and amplifying the signal to a usable level. Next, I needed to feed the signal into a digital input on the Arduino. Old-school digital inputs don’t like having analog signals fed into them; but I knew from working with a PIC that some of the Arduino/ATmega pins would probably have Schmitt-trigger inputs, which have hysteresis. A digital input with hysteresis turns on when the analog input becomes higher than an upper threshold but doesn’t turn off until the signal falls below a lower threshold. So imagine my delight to find that every ATmega8/168 input pin has Schmitt-triggering. External Interrupts The ATmega pins that are brought out to Arduino digital pins 2 and 3 are “external interrupt” pins. So my program is exceedingly simple. How Well Does It Work? After that, it worked very well. Installing It . . .
