ARDUINO

1.

ARDUINO IS A COMPANY AND AN OPEN HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT BOARD USED TO BUILD DEVICES THAT INTERACT WITH THE REAL WORLD.

2.

ARDUINOS CONTAIN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT PARTS AND INTERFACES ON A SINGLE CIRCUIT BOARD.

3.

A MICROCONTROLLER, THE PRIMARY CHIP , ALLOWS YOU TO PROGRAM THE ARDUINO IN ORDER TO EXECUTE COMMANDS AND MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON INPUTS. THE EXACT CHIP VARIES DEPENDING ON WHAT TYPE OF ARDUINO YOU GET, BUT THEY ARE GENERALLY ATMEL CONTROLLERS LIKE THE ATMEGA328 (UNO). THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE CHIPS IS ONBOARD MEMORY.

4.

THE BOARDS ARE EQUIPPED WITH SETS OF DIGITAL AND ANALOG INPUT/OUTPUT (I/O) PINS THAT MAY BE INTERFACED TO VARIOUS EXPANSION BOARDS (SHIELDS) AND OTHER CIRCUITS.

5.

THE BOARDS FEATURE SERIAL COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACES, INCLUDING UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) ON SOME MODELS, WHICH ARE ALSO USED FOR LOADING PROGRAMS FROM A PERSONAL

• COMPUTERS. THE MICROCONTROLLERS ARE TYPICALLY PROGRAMMED USING A DIALECT OF C AND

C++.

6.

THE ARDUINO PROJECT PROVIDES PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE THAT RUNS ON A COMPUTER CALLED THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT OR IDE.

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit or chip (CPU + memory). Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers.

ARDUINO BOARDS, SHIELDS, ENVORONMENTAL SENSORS…

There Are Many Different Arduinos Data Logger Shield GPS Shield Micro SD logger Breakout Board Temperature Sensor

Start with the UNO R3

NEW ARDUINOS FROM ADAFRUIT

• The 3 gram Metro Mini is an UNO

compatible but much smaller than the classic UNO.

• The new, more advanced Feather can run
• ff a 3.7V LiPo and can use stackable

Wings (shields) for added capability.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board void setup() { // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output. pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() { digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second }

AN ARDUINO DATA LOGGER FOR YOUR HAB?

Would you like to log or record the temperature during your HAB’s flight to the stratosphere (or

• ther environmental conditions)?
• Try the Adafruit Data Logger Shield Tutorial (an 85 page pdf!)
• To ensure success (and less frustration), start with the identical parts used in the tutorial and

modify only after you have a successful working model.

• Consult data sheets for the hardware used such as sensors.
• Allow sufficient time to complete the job (maybe weeks).
• Ask for help (online forums including MAPT’s HAB forum) if you get stuck.
• Breadboards, jumper wires and soldering will likely be needed to complete the project.
