used in Amateur Radio

Andrew Rohne, KE8P


February 6, 2013
Presentation Outline

• Basics
• Terminology
• Hardware
• Amateur Radio Applications
• Getting Started
• More Information
What is it?
Open Source

• Open Source Hardware


• Open Source Bootloader
• Open Source Development Kit
• Community Driven Support
Terminology
• I/O Board - main microcontroller
• Shield - add-on boards
• Sketch - the program
• Sensor - components (thermistors, etc.)
• Modules - serial data (GPS module, etc.)
What do these do?

Digital IO (LEDs, switches)


Analog IO (resistive sensor data)
Serial Connection (Sensors, GPS, etc)

Program from your computer

Your limit is only your creativity!
