Arduino- lesson log

-Open source physical computing platform based on a simple input/output, cl/ oj board and a development environment
-Can be used to develop standalone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (such as flash, processing or max/msp)

Allows you to get input to create output
Before them it was hard to control external things using computers
Using the body as a source of input
A good way to explore the creation of experiences between humans and tech
Prototypes of ever increasing fidelity
Brain/ heart is a micro-controller

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IDE= Integrated Development Environment

Digital parts= on/off -binary logic- 2 signals
Analogue- range of possibilities/ values

Ultrasonic Sensor Arduino:
Measures the distance
Ultrasound is sent out & signal is sent back as it bounces off object

Analogue out pins (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11)

Store info using variables- allocation of memory of computer- can change

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K (negative)/ short lead- ground

Make sure semi colon at the end of every line

check:  tools→ board→ Arduino uno
            tools→port→COM3 (Arduino uno)

Solder-less breadboard
Transfer the ground to the breadboard

Arduino reference tells you what each function does e.g. 'DigitalWrite'

Pushbutton & LED

→to monitor the state of a switch we use the function DigitalRead()
