2 First steps with Arduino
Arduino is an electronic platform consisting of hardware and software that is very user-friendly and was created as part of an open-source project. The term open source is generally characterized by the fact that the software is freely available, active participation of users is desired and there are no restrictions on use. Simply put, an Arduino is nothing more than a small and very simple PC or microcontroller that is capable of taking input signals, processing them internally, and then converting them into corresponding output signals. An input signal could be e.g., sunlight falling on a sensor. The corresponding output signal could, for example, control a motor. This mini-PC can be purchased in the very puristic appearance of a circuit board, equipped with electronic components, either individually or as a set.
There are different Arduino boards, modules, and beginner sets.
The following Arduino boards are recommended to get started:
A good overview of all products and a way to order them can be found on the official website: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/products . You can either order the Arduino products we need in this course via this official site, or buy them via Amazon or eBay. By the way, an Arduino Uno board is available from about $20, a complete starter set from about $70.
In this book, we will mainly deal with the Arduino Uno board and use it for the projects. We will also need other components such as LEDs, resistors, sensors (e.g., infrared sensor), actuators (e.g., motor) for the projects. Which components in particular are needed, you will find in the further course and in each project clearly listed. For this, it
