Lesson 0 Installing IDE

Introduction

In this lesson, you will learn how to setup your computer to use Arduino and how to set about
the lessons that follow.

Installing Arduino (Windows)

The Arduino software that you will use to program your Arduino is available for Windows,
Mac and Linux. The installation process is different for all three platforms and unfortunately
there is a certain amount of manual work to install the software. There is no installer program,
but rather you have to unzip a folder which gives you an Arduino folder that contains the
Arduino program and a few other items.

In a separate step, you must then install USB drivers, which is the only bit that is a bit fiddly.

Get started by visiting the Arduino.cc website. As of April 2014 we suggest v1.05 as 1.5 is still
in beta. If 1.5 is no longer in beta when you read this you can try it out!

Start by downloading the zip file for Windows. There is only one version of the software,
whether you are using Windows XP through to Windows 7.

6 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

When the zip file has downloaded, extract the contents onto the Desktop, by right-clicking
on the file and selecting 'Extract All...' from the pop-up menu.

Next select your Desktop and click 'Extract'. You can move it somewhere else onto your
computer later, just by moving the folder, but for now, just keep it on the Desktop.

The Arduino folder contains both the Arduino program itself and also the drivers that allow
the Arduino to be connected to your computer by a USB cable. Before we launch the
Arduino software, you are going to install the USB drivers.

Plug one end of your USB cable into the Arduino and the other into a USB socket on your
computer. The power light on the LED will light up and you may get a 'Found New Hardware'
message from Windows. Ignore this message and cancel any attempts that Windows makes
to try and install drivers automatically for you.

The most reliable method of installing the USB drivers is to use the Device Manager. This is
accessed in different ways depending on your version of Windows. In Windows 7, you first
have to open the Control Panel, then select the option to view Icons, and you should find
the Device Manager in the list.

Under the section ‘Other Devices’ you should see an icon for ‘unknown device’ with a little
yellow warning triangle next to it. This is your Arduino.

7 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...). You
will then be prompted to either ‘Search Automatically for updated driver software’ or
‘Browse my computer for driver software’. Select the option to browse and navigate to the
arduino-1.0.2-windows\arduino1.0.2\drivers.

8 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Click 'Next' and you may get a security warning, if so, allow the software to be installed.
Once the software has been installed, you will get a confirmation message.

That's it, you are now ready for action, so Skip the next section on installation on Mac and
Linux and move straight on to 'Boards and Ports'.

Installing Arduino (Mac and Linux)

Get started by visiting the Arduino.cc website and downloading the matching IDE for your
operating system. As of April 2014 we suggest v1.05 as 1.5 is still in beta. If 1.5 is no longer in
beta when you read this you can try it out!

9 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Save the install software to your desktop or wherever

The process for installing the Arduino software on the Mac is a lot easier than on the PC. As
before, the first step is to download the file. In the case of the Mac, it is a zip file.

Once downloaded, double-click on the zip file, which will extract a single file called
‘Arduino.app’. This is the whole Arduino application, just drag it into your Applications
Folder.

10 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

You can now find and launch the Arduino software in your Applications folder. As you are
going to use it frequently, you may wish to right-click its icon in the dock and set it to Keep In
Dock.

There are many different LINUX distributions and the instructions for each distribution are a
little different. The Arduino community has done a great job of putting together sets of
instructions for each distribution. So follow the link below and select one of the ten or more
distributions on offer.

Boards and Ports

You are now ready to start the Arduino Software, so whatever platform you are using, open
the Arduino folder and open the Arduino application contained within it.

11 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

This will start the Arduino IDE, but before you can get programming, you have to tell the
Arduino software which type of Arduino board you are using and also select the port it is
connecting to.

To tell the Arduino IDE which type of board you are using. From the 'Tools' menu, select
Board and then 'Arduino Uno' or 'Leonardo' as appropriate.

Also on the 'Tools' menu, you will find the 'Serial Port' option. Select this option.

12 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

If you are using Windows, there will probably only be one option here and it will either say
COM3 or COM4. Even though there is only one option, you will still need to select it.

If you are using a Mac or Linux, there will be more options there, but it will usually be the top
option in the list, as this will be the device most recently plugged in. This is useful, as the
name of the port may not look like it has anything to do with Arduino. It will probably be
called something like /dev/tty.usbmodemXXXX or /dev/ttyUSBn

Lesson 1 Add Libraries

Once you are comfortable with the Arduino software and using the built-in functions,
you may want to extend the ability of your Arduino with additional libraries.

What are Libraries?

Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect to a sensor, display,
module, etc. For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library makes it easy to talk to character
LCD displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for
download. The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the
reference. To use the additional libraries, you will need to install them.

How to Install a Library

Using the Library Manager

To install a new library into your Arduino IDE you can use the Library Manager (available
from IDE version 1.6.2). Open the IDE and click to the "Sketch" menu and then Include
Library > Manage Libraries.

14 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Then the library manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed
or ready for installation. In this example we will install the Bridge library. Scroll the list to find it,
then select the version of the library you want to install. Sometimes only one version of the
library is available. If the version selection menu does not appear, don't worry: it is normal.

Finally click on install and wait for the IDE to install the new library. Downloading may take
time depending on your connection speed. Once it has finished, an Installed tag should
appear next to the Bridge library. You can close the library manager.

You can now find the new library available in the Include Library menu. If you want to add
your own library open a new issue on github.

15 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Importing a .zip Library

Libraries are often distributed as a ZIP file or folder. The name of the folder is the name of the
library. Inside the folder will be a .cpp file, a .h file and often a keywords.txt file, examples
folder, and other files required by the library. Starting with version 1.0.5, you can install 3rd
party libraries in the IDE. Do not unzip the downloaded library, leave it as is.

In the Arduino IDE, navigate to Sketch > Include Library. At the top of the drop down list,
select the option to "Add .ZIP Library''.

You will be prompted to select the library you would like to add. Navigate to the .zip file's
location and open it.

Return to the Sketch > Import Library menu. You should now see the library at the bottom of
the drop-down menu. It is ready to be used in your sketch. The zip file will have been
expanded in the libraries folder in your Arduino sketches directory.

NB: the Library will be available to use in sketches, but examples for the library will not be
exposed in the File > Examplesuntil after the IDE has restarted.

Manual installation

To install the library, first quit the Arduino application. Then uncompress the ZIP file containing
the library. For example, if you're installing a library called "ArduinoParty", uncompress
ArduinoParty.zip. It should contain a folder calledArduinoParty, with files like
ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h inside. (If the .cpp and .h files aren't in a folder, you'll
need to create one. In this case, you'd make a folder called "ArduinoParty" and move into it
all the files that were in the ZIP file, like ArduinoParty.cpp and ArduinoParty.h.)

16 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Drag the ArduinoParty folder into this folder (your libraries folder). Under Windows, it will likely
be called "My Documents\Arduino\libraries". For Mac users, it will likely be called
"Documents/Arduino/libraries". On Linux, it will be the "libraries" folder in your sketchbook.

Your Arduino library folder should now look like this (on Windows):

My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.cpp

My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.h

My Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\examples

....

or like this (on Mac and Linux):

Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.cpp

Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/ArduinoParty.h

Documents/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoParty/examples

....

There may be more files than just the .cpp and .h files, just make sure they're all there. (The
library won't work if you put the .cpp and .h files directly into the libraries folder or if they're
nested in an extra folder. For example: Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty.cpp and
Documents\Arduino\libraries\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty\ArduinoParty.cpp won't work.)

Restart the Arduino application. Make sure the new library appears in the Sketch->Import
Library menu item of the software. That's it! You've installed a library!

Summary

In this lesson, we will install all the libraries which we will use in the tutorial. So in the following
lesson, we don't need to install them anymore. We just connect the component as the
schematic and upload the code provided. Then the kit will work.

Lesson 3 DS18B20 DIGITAL TEMPERATURE

SENSOR MODULE
Overview

In this experiment, we will learn how to use DS18B20 module test the environmental
temperature and make a thermometer.

Since the previous temperature sensor output is analog. So we need to add additional A/D
and D/A chip into the line transformation. More -over, the Arduino external port is not rich
resources and the utilization rate is not high. These cause a big challenge. So we are create
the Ds18b20 module.

Component Introduction

PUSH SWITCHES:

Switches are really simple components. When you press a button or flip a lever, they
connect two contacts together so that electricity can flow through them.

The little tactile switches that are used in this lesson have four connections, which can be a
little confusing.

Lesson 6 IR RECEIVER AND EMISSION

Overview

In this experiment, we will learn how to use Infrared Receiver and IR Emission module.

In fact now in our daily life they play an important role, a lot of household electrical
appliances are used to this kind of device, such as air conditioning, TV, DVD, etc. Actually it
is based on its wireless remote sensing and it is very convenient by using them.

Component Required:

(1) x Elego Uno R3

(1) x USB cable

(1) x IR Receiver module

(1) x IR Emission module

37 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

(x) x F-M wires

Component Introduction

IR RECEIVER SENSOR:

IR detectors are little microchips with a photocell that are tuned to listen to infrared light.
They are almost always used for remote control detection - every TV and DVD player has
one of these in the front to listen for the IR signal from the clicker. Inside the remote control is
a matching IR LED, which emits IR pulses to tell the TV to turn on, off or change channels. IR
light is not visible to the human eye, which means it takes a little more work to test a setup.

There are a few difference between these and say a CdS Photocells:

IR detectors are specially filtered for Infrared light, they are not good at detecting visible
light. On the other hand, photocells are good at detecting yellow/green visible light, not
good at IR light

 IR detectors have a demodulator inside that looks for modulated IR at 38 KHz. Just
shining an IR LED won't be detected, it has to be PWM blinking at 38KHz. Photocells do
not have any sort of demodulator and can detect any frequency (including DC) within
the response speed of the photocell (which is about 1KHz)

 IR detectors are digital out - either they detect 38KHz IR signal and output low (0V) or
they do not detect any and output high (5V). Photocells act like resistors, the resistance
changes depending on how much light they are exposed to.

What You Can Measure

38 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

As you can see from these datasheet graphs, the peak frequency detection is at 38 KHz and
the peak LED color is 940 nm. You can use from about 35 KHz to 41 KHz but the sensitivity will
drop off so that it wont detect as well from afar. Likewise, you can use 850 to 1100 nm LEDs
but they wont work as well as 900 to 1000nm so make sure to get matching LEDs! Check the
datasheet for your IR LED to verify the wavelength.

Try to get a 940nm - remember that 940nm is not visible light (its Infra Red)!

Principle

Firstly, let's know the structure of the infrared receiving head: there are two important
elements inside the infrared receiving head, IC and PD. IC is receiving head processing
components, mainly composed of silicon and circuit. It is a highly integrated device. The
main function is filter, plastic, decoding, amplification, etc. PD is a photosensitive diode. The
main function is to receive the light signal.

Below is a brief working principle diagram:

39 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Infrared emitting diode launch out the modulation signal and infrared receiver head will
receive, decode, filter and soon to regain the signal.

Infrared emitting diode: keep clean and in good condition. All the parameters in the
process of working shall not exceed the limit value (positive To the current
30~60mA, positive pulse current 0.3~1A, reverse voltage 5V, dissipation power 90mW,
working temperature range -25~+80℃, and storage temperature range between 40~100℃,
the welding temperature 260℃) infrared to be with a closed head should be matching use,
otherwise it will influence the sensitivity.

Lesson 7 Active and passive buzzer

Overview

In this experiment, we will learn how to use buzzer module.

With the Arduino we can complete a lot of interactive work, commonly what we used is the
light shows. And we has been use the LED small lights in the experiment before. In this
experiment we will make the circuit having noise. The common components that can
make sound are buzzer and speakers. Compared to the speaker, buzzer is more simple
and easy to use so in this experiment we adopts the buzzer.

Component Required:

(1) x Elego Uno R3

43 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

(1) x USB cable

(1) x Active buzzer module

(1) x Passive buzzer module

(x) x F-M wires

Component Introduction

Active Buzzer:

As a type of electronic buzzer with integrated structure, buzzers, which are supplied by DC
power, are widely used in computers, printers, photocopiers, alarms, electronic toys,
automotive electronic devices, telephones, timers and other electronic products for voice
devices. Buzzers can be categorized as active and passive ones (see the following picture).
Turn the pins of two buzzers face up, and the one with a green circuit board is a passive
buzzer, while the other enclosed with a black tape is an active one.

The difference between an active buzzer and a passive buzzer is:

An active buzzer has a built-in oscillating source, so it will make sounds when electrified. But
a passive buzzer does not have such source, so it will not tweet if DC signals are used;
instead, you need to use square waves whose frequency is between 2K and 5K to drive it.
The active buzzer is often more expensive than the passive one because of multiple built-in
oscillating circuits.

Passive Buzzer:

Passive buzzer, in fact, just use PWM generating audio, drives the buzzer, allowing the air to
vibrate, can sound. Appropriately changed as long as the vibration frequency, it can
generate different sound scale. For example, sending a pulse wave can be generated
523Hz Alto Do, pulse 587Hz can produce midrange Re, 659Hz can produce midrange Mi. If
you then with a different beat, you can play a song. Here be careful not to use the Arduino
analog Write () function to generate a pulse wave, because the frequency analog Write ()
is fixed (500Hz), no way to scale the output of different sounds.

Distinguish between Active and Passive Buzzer

Teach you to distinguish between active and passive buzzer

Now a small buzzer on the market because of its small size (diameter of only ll mm), light
weight, low price, solid structure, and is widely used in a variety of needs audible electrical

equipment, electronic production and microcontroller circuits, etc. .

From the exterior, two kinds of buzzer seems the same, but a closer look, a slight difference
between the height of the active buzzer a, height of 9mm, and passive buzzer b height of
8mm. When the buzzer as the two pins are facing up, you can see there is a green circuit
board is passive buzzer, no closed circuit boards with a vinyl is active buzzer .

Further determine the active and passive buzzer, you can also use a multimeter to test the
resistance profile Rxl file: buzzer with black pen then "+" pin, the red pen to touch on another
pin back and forth, if trigger a cracking, cracking sound and the resistance only 8Ω (or 16Ω)
is passive buzzer; If you can emit continuous sound, and the resistance in Europe and more
than a few hundred, and is an active buzzer.

Active buzzer directly connected to the rated power (new buzzer has stated on the label)
can be a continuous sound; rather passive electromagnetic buzzer and speaker are the
same, you need to take in order to sound the audio output circuit .

Lesson 9 SMD RGB MODULE AND RGB MODULE

Overview

In this experiment, we will learn how to use SMD RGB module and RGB module.

Actually, the function of SMD RGB module and RGB module are almost the same. But we
can choose the shape we like or we need.

SMD RGB LED module and RGB module are made from a patch of full-color LED. By

Opto Interrupters are commonly used in many arcade games e.g. steering assembly in
older driving games, scoring switches in Whack A Crock etc. Uninterrupted light beam will
turn the phototransistor "ON" connecting the ground to the game board input. When the
light beam is interrupted the phototransistor turns "OFF" , the ground is disconnected from
the input and the pull-up resistor R1 forces the input to go "HIGH" (5V level).

Overview

In this experiment, we will learn how to use the photo-resistor module.

Photo-resistor is very common in our daily life. it is mainly used in intelligent switch so as to
bring convenience to our life. At the same time, in our daily life, we also use it in electronic
design. So in order to use it in a better, we provide the corresponding modules to help us to
use it more conveniently and efficiently.

Component Required:

Component Introduction

PHOTOCELL:

The photocell used is of a type called a light dependent resistor, sometimes called an LDR.
As the name suggests, these components act just like a resistor, except that the resistance
changes in response to how much light is falling on them.

This one has a resistance of about 50 kΩ in near darkness and 500 Ω in bright light. To
convert this varying value of resistance into something we can measure on an Arduino's

68 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

analog input, it need to be converted into a voltage.

The simplest way to do that is to combine it with a fixed resistor.

The resistor and photocell together behave rather like a pot. When the light is very bright,
then the resistance of the photocell is very low compared with the fixed value resistor, and
so it is as if the pot were turned to maximum.

When the photocell is in dull light the resistance becomes greater than the fixed 1kΩ resistor
and it is as if the pot were being turned towards GND.

Load up the sketch given in the next section and try covering the photocell with your finger,
and holding it near a light source.

(1) x USB cable

(1) x Reed switch module

(1) x Mini Reed switch module

(x) x F-M wires

78 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Component Introduction

Reed Switch and Reed Sensor Activation:

Although a reed switch can be activated by placing it inside an electrical coil, many reed
switches and reed sensors are used for proximity sensing and are activated by a magnet. As
the magnet is brought into the proximity of the reed sensor/switch, the device activates. As
the magnet is removed from the proximity of the reed sensor/switch, the device deactivates.
However, the magnetic interaction involved in activating the reed switch contacts is not
necessarily obvious. One way of thinking about the interaction is that the magnet induces
magnetic poles into the metal parts of the reed switch and the resulting attraction between
the electrical contacts causes the reed switch to activate.

Another equally valid way of thinking about the interaction between a magnet and a reed
switch is that the magnet induces magnetic flux through the electrical contacts. When the
magnetic flux is high enough, the magnetic attraction between the contacts causes the
reed switch to close.

The following are examples of typical reed switch and reed sensor activate distances.

79 / 137
Http://www.elego.cc

Difference between the reed switch module and mini reed switch module

As we can see, the reed switch module is bigger than the mini reed switch module. So the
bigger one may have more function than the mini one. The reed switch can output in two
ways: digital and analog. The mini reed can only output in digital.

In the 37 sensor kit, there have 7 red pcb modules. The difference between the red and
small pcb is same as above.

Principle

As can be seen, the magnetic orientation and location relative to the reed switch play
important roles in the activation distances. In addition, the size of the activate regions(lobes)
will vary depending on the strength of the magnet and the sensitivity of the reed switch.
Proper orientation of the magnet with respect to the reed sensor/switch is an important
consideration in meeting the application’s requirements across the tolerance range for
mechanical systems, magnetic strength and reed sensor or reed switch sensitivity.

Design Factors – Magnetic Types

Unipolar: Only a south pole will operate the sensor. The sensor turns on

with the south pole(+) and off when the south pole is removed.

• Bipolar: Sensor output is pole-dependent. A south pole (+) is designed to

activate the sensor; a north pole(-) is designed to deactivate. It’s possible

that the sensor could turn off and still be within a positive Gauss level.

• Latching: Specifications are tighter on latching. Sometimes it is designed

to make certain that when the south pole(+) is removed from the sensor, it

will stay on until it sees the opposite pole(-).

• Omnipolar: The sensor is designed to operate with either magnetic pole(+

or -).

• Ratiometric linear: Output is proportional to magnetic field strength. Output

sensitivity range is 2.5 – 3.75 mV per unit of Gauss.

The module has 5 pins: Vcc, Ground, X, Y, Key. Note that the labels on yours may be slightly
different, depending on where you got the module from. The thumb stick is analog and
should provide more accurate readings than simple ‘directional’ joysticks tact use some
forms of buttons, or mechanical switches. Additionally, you can press the joystick down
(rather hard on mine) to activate a ‘press to select’ push-button.

We have to use analog Arduino pins to read the data from the X/Y pins, and a digital pin to
read the button. The Key pin is connected to ground, when the joystick is pressed down,
and is floating otherwise. To get stable readings from the Key /Select pin, it needs to be
connected to Vcc via a pull-up resistor. The built in resistors on the Arduino digital pins can
be used. For a tutorial on how to activate the pull-up resistors for Arduino pins, configured as

solid-state relays. Relays are used where it is necessary to control a circuit by a low-power
signal (with complete electrical isolation between control and controlled circuits), or where
several circuits must be controlled by one signal. The first relays were used in long distance
telegraph circuits as amplifiers: they repeated the signal coming in from one circuit and
re-transmitted it on another circuit. Relays were used extensively in telephone exchanges
and early computers to perform logical operations.

A type of relay that can handle the high power required to directly control an electric motor
or other loads is called a contactor. Solid-state relays control power circuits with no moving
parts, instead using a semiconductor device to perform switching. Relays with calibrated
operating characteristics and sometimes multiple operating coils are used to protect
electrical circuits from overload or faults; in modern electric power systems these functions
are performed by digital instruments still called "protective relays".

Lesson 26 HEARTBEAT MODULE

Overview

This project uses bright infrared (IR) LED and a phototransistor to detect the pulse of the
finger, a red LED flashes with each pulse. Pulse monitor works as follows: The LED is the light
side of the finger, and phototransistor on the other side of the finger, phototransistor used to
obtain the flux emitted, when the blood pressure pulse by the finger when the resistance of
the photo transistor will be slightly changed. The project's schematic circuit as shown, We
chose a very high resistance resistor R1, because most of the light through the finger is
absorbed, it is desirable that the phototransistor is sensitive enough. Resistance can be
selected by experiment to get the best results. The most important is to keep the shield stray
light into the phototransistor. For home lighting that is particularly important because the
lights at home mostly based 50HZor 60HZfluctuate, so faint heartbeat will add consider able
noise.

When running the program the measured values are printed. To get a real heartbeat from
this could be challenging.
