IEEE Educational Events

 ARDUINO SESSION 

Overview of Arduino:

• • Introduction to the Arduino board (different models like Uno, Mega, Nano, etc.).
  • Explanation of the microcontroller architecture (e.g., ATmega328P).
  • Overview of input/output (I/O) pins and their functions.

    Arduino IDE:

    • Introduction to the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
    • Writing, compiling, and uploading sketches (Arduino programs) to the board.
    • Exploring the structure of an Arduino sketch (setup() and loop() functions).

      Basic Components:

      • Explanation of basic electronic components like LEDs, resistors, push buttons, and sensors.
      • Demonstrating how to connect these components to the Arduino using a breadboard.

        Programming Basics:

        • Introduction to basic programming concepts in Arduino (variables, control structures like if-else, loops).
        • Example sketches such as turning on an LED, reading a sensor value, or controlling a motor.

          Hands-on Project:

          • Building a simple project, like a blinking LED, a button-controlled LED, or a temperature sensor project.
          • Understanding how to wire components and upload code to execute a task.

            Basic Troubleshooting:

            • Guidance on how to troubleshoot common issues (e.g., incorrect wiring, code errors).
