Arduino beginner to the advanced course (12 steps)

ByDavid E. Olson

Dec 16, 2022

from this series of articles, we will provide you with all the knowledge and information about Arduino. if you are a beginner then this is for you.

We cover all of the topics listed below.

  1. Introduction to Arduino and its hardware and software components.
  2. Using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to set up and program an Arduino board.
  3. Basic electrical system concepts and how to create them with Arduino.
  4. Programming fundamentals and the Arduino language (based on C++).
  5. Arduino communication with sensors, actuators, and other hardware components.
  6. Simple projects such as a digital clock, a temperature sensor, and a light-activated switch.
  7. Creating more complex projects like a remote-controlled car, a weather station, and a robot arm.
  8. Using Arduino to connect projects to the internet and remotely access them.
  9. Advanced programming techniques, such as the use of libraries and functions, together with code debugging.
  10. Troubleshooting and error handling techniques for Arduino projects.
  11. Using Arduino in combined with other platforms, such as the Raspberry Pi, to develop more complicated projects.
  12. Investigating the latest Arduino trends and developments, such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable tech.

for introduction steps and then return to this point to continue with step number two (Using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to set up and program an Arduino board.)

Continue from here, if you have some beginner-level of knowledge Arduino board and an IDE.

3. Using the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) to set up and program an Arduino board.

I think you already know some pin configurations and power pins, and ports in arduino board. Maybe you’re just using Tinkercad to simulate your Arduino projects.

this is TED. most of the time he ask some quation ralated to topic

IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. which helps us in scratching a program.   libraries can be installed using the Arduino IDE.  check the compilation errors and compile your code. You can also send the code to whatever board you have. Finally, you can use a serial monitor to communicate with your board. also, IDE is used to visualize inputs and output as a plot or text.

You may be confused by some words. Don’t worry, we’ll go over all of the words and concepts behind the IDE.

your Arduino IDE looks like this

arduino

you can change the font size by scrolling the mouse middle button while pressing the control/command button.

Let’s consider IDE buttons

arduino

Buttons in the upper left corner

correct (compiling) button

After you’ve finished the sketch, click this button. The errors are checked automatically, and your program’s hex is created.

Send button

If no errors have been found, then you can send your hex code to your microcontroller.

“Tool” is the next use full drop-down menu

arduino

“Connectivity section”

arduino

in this section, we can change the board types, Ports

arduino

if your board has connected to your PC then it will show up this.

if you have any kind of error while connecting the board to the PC.then go to “Device manager”

arduino

then check the “PORT” section

arduino

Perhaps your PORT drivers have not been properly updated.

“Manage Libraries”

After clicking this section, this kind of window will pop up.

you can search and install any library through this section.

“Serial monitor and Serial plotter section”

https://electroniclearning.space/

you can send or read any data through the serial monitor and you can plot incoming data in the serial plotter.

In actuality, this is just the beginning. Basically, if you already have any knowledge of programming languages such as C, it will be helpful to your future project.

Let us look at some devices that are commonly used in many projects. In the following articles, we will dive deep into arduino concepts. Actually, this article series will be more helpful to you to understand more advanced-level electronic projects such as assembly hardware programming and PLC programming.

Breadboard

arduino

you can see the +/- lines are connected internally. you connect your logical high value (5V) and a ground voltage to these lines and these lines act as common lines.

Jumper wires

Jumper wires are divided into three types:

  1. male-to-male connection
arduino

2. female-to-male connection

arduino

3. female-to-female connection

arduino

potentiometer

arduino

It is just a variable resistor. there 3 pins in the potentiometer

arduino

Resistors

I think you are familiar with resistors. sometimes

arduino

you can refer to colour codes to find the resistor values and many more mobile apps available in the play store and apps store.

Switches

push buttons

arduino

on/off switches

arduino

Bluetooth modules

using these kinds of modules we can communicate wirelessly

HC-05

arduino

Gyroscope and Accelerometer sensors

we can measure the Liner accelerations and angular velocities in x,y, and z directions

MPU 6050

Motor drivers

In the real world, various types of motor drivers are used, such as the L298N two-motor driver.

https://electroniclearning.space/

IR sensors

we can measure the distance using Infrared rays.

https://electroniclearning.space/

7 segment display

this is a combination of 7 LEDs and we can display 0-9 digit values in this display. there are two types of 7 segments available. such as common anode and common cathode.

https://electroniclearning.space/

Sonar sensor

this is another type of module to measure the distance using sound waves.

https://electroniclearning.space/

Server motors

A standard DC motor with gear wheels. That is, we can rotate the motor’s axis at a specific degree angle and mostly use it to make robotic arms.

In this article, we covered the second step.

these are the common modules and devices which are used in the next steps. I think this is enough for this article. leave a comment if you have any problems.
