 What is Arduino?

A project which began in Ivrea (Italy) in 2003

Device for controlling student-built interaction
design
- it is less expensive
- more modern
- than what is available
- Basic Stamp
Who is Arduino?
 Arduino

Open Source Hardware
- Based on Wiring

Open Source Software
- Based on Processing
Multi-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux)
Programmed via USB
●
Named the project after a local bar Arduin of Ivrea
- Italian masculine first name
- “strong friend”
- English equivalent is “Hardwin”
 What is Gizduino?

It is an Open-Source physical computing
platform based on a simple input/output
(I/O)board and the use of standard
programming language.

It is a tool for implementing a program you have
designed.

Gizduino is programmed using the IDE
(Integrated Development Environment).

3. Protoboard Ready alternate pin layout

- you can solder additional header on this pins.
This will allow you to mount and connect your
gizDuinoPLUS board to a standard perforated
prototyping PCBs.
 New Features
4. Buffered UART TX/RX indicator
- a visual means to monitor the activity of one of
the most used port of your gizDuino. LEDs
flashes when data (of sufficient duration) flows
through these pins.
 New Features
5. UART switch
- a shield or extension device that connects
through your gizDuino UART can interface with
the program downloading process, resulting in
those “STK-500” failures.
 New Features
6. Buffered I/O 13 indicator
- you can even use the internal pull ups of the I/O
13 and use it as if the LED is not there.

HOW ARE Y OU
SO FAR?
Getting Started with GizduinoPLUS
 Correct handling of Gizduino

Avoid touching the male pins, also the
components on the board.

Place the board on a non-conducting surface.

Hold the boards on its sides or the edges of
pcb.

Do not touch the board when powered and
adding or removing components like modules
or shields.
 Setting Up
1. Install Prolific USB Driver

2. Install Arduino Software

 Softwares and Driver

Arduino IDE with gizDuino Patch
- Download: https://github.com/e-
Gizmo/Arduino-1.8.2-IDE-Windows


Device Driver
- GizduinoPLUS uses Prolific Chip
http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProduct.as
px?p_id=225&pcid=41
 Install the Prolific Driver

Open arduino 1.0.6 folder > driver folder >
prolific USB drivers >
PL2303_Prolific_Driver_Installer.exe
 Open the Arduino IDE

Click the Arduino IDE application
Arduino IDE
 Connect GizduinoPLUS to PC

Connect the Gizduino board to your PC using
USB Cable (TypeA - TypeB mini). The green
and red power LED should turn on.
 Open the Blink sketch
●
File>Examples>Basics>Blink.ino
 Select the board

Tools>Board menu and select “Gizduino + w/
ATmega644”
 Getting Up and Running

Tools> Serial Port menu and Select COM #
 Uploading the Program

 Setup()
- called when a sketch starts running
- to initialize
Libraries,variables, pinModes,


The setup function runs once when you
press reset or power the board.
 Setup()
int LEDpin = 13;
void setup(){
pinMode(LEDpin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(LEDpin, LOW);
}
void loop(){

}
 loop()
- Executed reapeatedly
- Allows the program to change and respond.


The loop function runs over and over
again forever
 loop()
int LEDpin = 13;
void setup(){
pinMode(LEDpin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop(){
digitalWrite(LEDpin, HIGH); delay(100);
digitalWrite(LEDpin, LOW); delay(100);
}
 pinMode
●
pinMode(pin, mode)
-set a digital pin as an input or an
output.
pin – the number to set
Digital: 0-19 ;Analog:A0-A5
mode – either INPUT or OUTPUT
●
ex.pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
 digitalWrite
●
digitalWrite(pin, value)
-for digital: HIGH or LOW
pin – the number to set
Digital: 0-19 ;Analog:A0-A5
value – either HIGH or LOW
●
ex.digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
 delay(ms)
●
delay(value)
-amount of time to pauses the program
(milliseconds)
1 second = 1x10-3 seconds =1000ms

●
ex.delay(1000);
 Review

The BASIC FUNDAMENTAL

IN ELECTRONICS
●
Current – is a flow of electrical charge carriers.
●
Voltage – measure of work done in making the
electric charges flow.
●
Resistance –measure of the difficulty to add an
electric current through that conductor.
●
Ohm's Law – Voltage = Current x Resistance
●
Power Equation – Power = Voltage x Current
 Electronics
●
Ground – or earth is the reference point in an electrical
circuit.
●
Load – is an electrical component or portion of a circuit
that consumes electric power.

Activity #1

With the LED turned on, the light pauses for
1second and pause again for 100ms
while the LED is off.
Activity #2

Create a blinking LED wave like running lights. We'll
use eight LEDs.

Digital pins11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4
 Switch

Button switches connect two points in a circuit
when you press the button, the LED (or whatever)
is turned ON (if it's off) or OFF (if on).

Latch – change state and retain it until the next
change state.
