Arduino Projects with Tinkercad: Designing and programming Arduino-based electronics projects using Tinkercad

By M.Eng. Johannes Wild

In this book we will create five exciting and great projects using the microcontroller Arduino Uno. We will use Autodesk's free Tinkercad software and its block-based programming approach. Also, in each of the projects we will use sensors, such as a temperature sensor, or even an ultrasonic sensor and other components.

I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and would like to introduce you to the topics of electronics, Arduino, and block-based programming with Tinkercad. In this book, I will try to do this in an application-oriented, playful and simple way using DIY projects. In the first chapters of this book you will find a short theoretical introduction or a refresher - depending on your level of knowledge - about the Arduino, the software Tinkercad and on general electronics. In the following chapters you will find five exciting projects, which we will build together step by step. For each project, you'll get information about the components you need, the structure of the respective circuit diagram, and the individual steps in creating the program code using block-based programming.

No matter what age you are, whether you are still in school, whether you are already an adult, whether you are a student or a retiree, if you are interested in any of these topics, you are in the right place! This book is aimed at both those who have no knowledge and those who already have basic knowledge in any of the areas: Arduino, Tinkercad and Electronics.

Foreword

Thank you so much for choosing this book!

In this book we will create together and step by step a few exciting and great projects with the microcontroller Arduino Uno. As the title of the book suggests, we will use the easy-to-use and free software Tinkercad from Autodesk and its approach of block-based programming. In addition, we will use sensors in each of the projects, such as a temperature sensor, or even an ultrasonic sensor and other components.

I am an engineer (M.Eng.) and would like to introduce you to the topics of electronics, Arduino and block-based programming with Tinkercad in an application-oriented, playful and simply explained way using DIY projects. Therefore you will find in this book in the first chapters a short theoretical introduction or refresher - depending on your level of knowledge - about the Arduino, the software Tinkercad and general electronics and in the following chapters you will get five great projects that we will build together step by step. We will create these projects here only virtually in Tinkercad. But you can also build them 1:1 with real parts in the analog world if you want to. For each project you will receive information about the required components, the structure of the respective circuit diagram and the individual steps in the creation of the program code using block-based programming.

No matter what age you are, whether you are still in school, whether you are already an adult, whether you are a student or a pensioner, if you are interested in one of the topics, you are in

Reviews for Arduino Projects with Tinkercad

[Nita · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Fairly good introduction book that follows the project book provided in the Arduino starter kit. Using Tinkercad to design and simulate the circuit helped form a better understanding of how the sensors work as the sensor guides and project book provide code only. When you use Tinkercad and design in block mode you can review the code next to the block. This is essentially the same code as in the official book so you can visualise what you’re doing and how the changes affect the code. This is book 1 in a 2 book series. I’m looking forward to working through the next book.
