Week 5. Segment 1: Arduino Hardware and use of Digital Pins

This and the following segments of the course requires that the Arduino IDE is installed on your computer. Please, surf here, and download the 1.0.5 version of the IDE. We do not recommend to use the 1.5 version at this point since it is not fully stable yet.

Goals:

• Understand the Arduino Uno Hardware
  
• Use digital pins to control LEDs
  
• Learn basic C++ programming structures

In-Class Project:

• Build an 8 bit binary counter that counts to 255

Materials for this segment:

• Summary of the Arduino Uno board hardware at Arduino.cc
• Watch the videos on the right.
  
• Download the Fritzing circuit schematic for the In-Class Project (see below)
