pins, Operates on 3.3 volts, and is similar to the Mega

25
Is a miniature microcontroller. Includes all functionality of the Leonardo. Easily usable on a breadboard.
Micro
26
An arduino, popular for clothing-based projects
Lilypad
27
A type of arduino, popular use for game controller. Includes joystick, four buttons, linear potentiometer (slider), microphone, light sensor, temperature sensor, three-axis accelerometer.
Esplora
28
How many groups does Arduino Uno have?
3
29
What year is Arduino UNO invented?
2010
30
What are the 3 groups of the pins in Arduino UNO
* 14 digital pins * 6 analog pins * power
31
Arduino is based on C++ without 80% of the instructions. True/False
True
32
What are programs called in Arduino?
sketches
33
Sketches need two functions:
* void setup( ) * void loop( )
34
Is a function in sketches that runs first and once.
setup( )
35
Is a function in sketches that runs over and over, until power is lost or a new sketch is loaded.
loop( )
36
Arduino sketches are centered around the pins on an Arduino board. True/False
True
37
Arduino sketches does not always loop True/False
False
38
Designates the specified pin for input or output
pinMode(pin, mode)
39
Sends a voltage level to the designated pin
digitalWrite(pin, value)
40
Reads the current voltage level from the designated pin
digitalRead(pin)
41
analogRead's range is 0 to 1024 True/False
False. 0 to 1023
42
What are the serial commands
print, println, write
43
Digital inputs will come to the Arduino as either:
on or off (HIGH or LOW, respectively)
44
How much voltage does HIGH and LOW have?
HIGH is 5VDC. LOW is 0VDC
45
Sensors can be both binary or a range True/False
True
46
Give at least 3 common sensor
* Potentiometers (Dials on a radio are simply ) * Temperature * Light * Angle * Switches * Accelerometer (measures motion and tilt) * Infrared sensor & light * Hall effect sensor and magnet * Ball tilt sensor (for measuring orientation) * Force
47
Are circuit boards that plug into the top of an Arduino
Shields
48
Examples of extended capabilities of an Arduino when using Shields.
* Ethernet * GPS * Motor * Prototype
49
Examples of Arduino Shields
* PCB * Built Shield * Inserted Shield * Micro SD * MP3 Trigger * LCD
50
Alternative controllers to Arduino
* PIC controller * Pinguino – PIC controller * MSP430 – Texas Instruments * Netduino * Raspberry Pi * BeagleBones
51
Microcontroller and development tools created by Microsoft to work with the .NET Micro Framework.
Netduino
52
Low end computer, not a controller. Uses Debian Linux. Programmed with Python BBC BASIC, C, Perl.
Raspberry Pi
53
6 advantages of Arduino
*Open source *Simplified and user-friendly programming language *No additional programmer/burner hardware required for programming board *Portable *Low power consumption *Best for beginners
54
4 disadvantages of Arduino
* Arduino is not designed to handle large complexity that comes with advanced projects * processing power is weaker than the PIC microcontroller * Limited working memory * Arduino is not suitable for designing advanced embedded systems
55
Arduino can be implemented in:
* Robotics, * Electrical appliances based on IR, * smart home automation, * fault recognition use in an underground cable
56
Are used in industries as it consumes only low power
PIC microcontrollers
57
It provides maximum efficiency and easily accessing methods to support software and hardware tools such as simulators, debuggers, and compilers
PIC microcontrollers
