Earthshine Electronics Arduino Starters Kit Manual - A Complete Beginners Guide to the erything will be explained in clear and easy to followsteps. The book contains a lot of diagrams andphotographs to make it as easy as possible to checkthat you are following along with the project correctly.What you will needThank you for purchasing the Earthshine ElectronicsArduino Starter Kit. You are now well on your way inyour journey into the wonderful world of the Arduinoand microcontroller electronics.This book will guide you, step by step, through usingthe Starter Kit to learn about the Arduino hardware,software and general electronics theory. Through theuse of electronic projects we will take you from thelevel of complete beginner through to having anintermediate set of skills in using the Arduino.The purpose of this book and the kit is to give you agentle introduction to the Arduino, electronics andprogramming in C and to set you up with thenecessary skills needed to progress beyond the bookand the kit into the world of the Arduino andmicrocontroller electronics.The booklet has been written presuming that you haveno prior knowledge of electronics, the Arduinohardware, software environment or of computerprogramming. At no time will we get too deep intoelectronics or programming in C. There are manyother resources available for free that will enable youto learn a lot more about this subject if you wish to gofurther. The best possible way to learn the Arduino,after using this kit of course, is to join the ArduinoForum on the Arduino website and to check out thecode and hardware examples in the ʻPlaygroundʼsection of the Arduino website too.We hope you enjoy using the kit and get satisfactionfrom creating the projects and seeing your creationscome to life.How to use itFirstly, you will need access to the internet to be ableto download the Arduino IDE (Integrated DevelopmentEnvironment) and to also download the Code Sampleswithin this book (if you donʼt want to type them outyourself) and also any code libraries that may benecessary to get your project working.You will need a well lit table or other flat surface to layout your components and this will need to be next toyour desktop or laptop PC to enable you to upload thecode to the Arduino. Remember that you are workingwith electricity (although low voltage DC) andtherefore a metal table or surface will first need to becovered in a non-conductive material (e.g. tablecloth,paper, etc.) before laying out your materials.Also of some benefit, although not essential, may be apair of wire cutters, a pair of long nosed pliers and awire stripper.A notepad and pen will also come in handy for drawingout rough schematics, working out concepts anddesigns, etc.Finally, the most important thing you will need isenthusiasm and a willingness to learn. The Arduino isdesigned as a simple and cheap way to get involved inmicrocontroller electronics and nothing is too hard tolearn if you are willing to at least ʻgive it a goʼ. TheEarthshine Design Arduino Starter Kit will help you onthat journey and introduce you to this exciting andcreative hobby.Mike McRobertsmike@earthshineelectronics.comMay 2009The book starts off with an introduction to the Arduino,how to set up the hardware, install the software, etc.We then explain the Arduino IDE and how to use itbefore we dive right into some projects progressingfrom very basic stuff through to advanced topics. Eachproject will start off with a description of how to set upthe hardware and what code is needed to get itworking. We will then describe separately the codeand the hardware and explain in some detail how itworks.7

Earthshine Electronics Arduino Starters Kit Manual - A Complete Beginners Guide to the Arduinowww.EarthshineElectronics.comWhat exactly is an Arduino?speed) and a 5-volt linear regulator. Depending onwhat type of Arduino you have, you may also have aUSB connector to enable it to be connected to a PC orMac to upload or retrieve data. The board exposes themicrocontrollerʼs I/O (Input/Output) pins to enable youto connect those pins to other circuits or to sensors,etc.Now that you are a proud owner of an Arduino, or anArduino clone, it might help if you knew what it wasand what you can do with it.In its simplest form, an Arduino is a tiny computer thatyou can program to process inputs and outputs goingto and from the chip.To program the Arduino (make it do what you want itto) you also use the Arduino IDE (IntegratedDevelopment Environment), which is a piece of freesoftware, that enables you to program in the languagethat the Arduino understands. In the case of theArduino the language is C. The IDE enables you towrite a computer program, which is a set of step-bystep instructions that you then upload to the Arduino.Then your Arduino will carry out those instructions andinteract with the world outside. In the Arduino world,programs are known as ʻSketchesʼ.The Arduino is what is known as a Physical orEmbedded Computing platform, which means that it isan interactive system, that through the use ofhardware and software can interact with itʼsenvironment.For example, a simple use of the Arduino would be toturn a light on for a set period of time, letʼs say 30seconds, after a button has been pressed (we willbuild this very same project later in the book). In thisexample, the Arduino would have a lamp connected toit as well as a button. The Arduino would sit patientlywaiting for the button to be pressed. When you pressthe button it would then turn the lamp on and startcounting. Once it had counted 30 seconds it wouldthen turn the lamp off and then carry on sitting therewaiting for another button press. You could use thisset-up to control a lamp in an under-stairs cupboardfor example. You could extend this example to sensewhen the cupboard door was opened andautomatically turn the light on, turning it off after a setperiod of time.The Arduino can be used to develop stand-aloneinteractive objects or it can be connected to acomputer to retrieve or send data to the Arduino andthen act on that data (e.g. Send sensor data out to theinternet).The Arduino can be connected to LEDʼs. Dot Matrixdisplays, LED displays, buttons, switches, motors,temperature sensors, pressure sensors, distancesensors, webcams, printers, GPS receivers, ethernetmodules,The Arduino board is made of an an Atmel AVRMicroprocessor, a crystal or oscillator (basically acrude clock that sends time pulses to themicrocontroller to enable it to operate at the correctThe Arduino hardware and software are both OpenSource, which means the code, the schematics,design, etc. are all open for anyone to take freely anddo what they like with it.This means there is nothing stopping anyone fromtaking the schematics and PCB designs of the Arduinoand making their own and selling them. This isperfectly legal, and indeed the whole purpose of OpenSource, and indeed the Freeduino that comes with theEarthshine Design Arduino Starter Kit is a perfectexample of where someone has taken the ArduinoPCB design, made their own and are selling it underthe Freeduino name. You could even make your own9

Earthshine Electronics Arduino Starters Kit Manual - A Complete Beginners Guide to the Arduinowww.EarthshineElectronics.comArduino, with just a few cheap components, on abreadboard.The only stipulation that the Arduino developmentteam put on outside developers is that the Arduinoname can only be used exclusively by them on theirown products and hence the clone boards havenames such as Freeduino, Boarduino, Roboduino, etc.As the designs are open source, any clone board,such as the Freeduino, is 100% compatible with theArduino and therefore any software, hardware,shields, etc. will all be 100% compatible with agenuine Arduino.Then, for a couple of quid or bucks you can replacethe AVR chip in your Arduino with a new one. The chipmust be pre-programmed with the Arduino Bootloaderto enable it to work with the Arduino IDE, but you caneither burn the Bootloader yourself if you purchase anAVR Programmer, or you can buy these preprogrammed from many suppliers around the world.Of course, Earthshine Design provide preprogrammed Arduino chips in itʼ store for a veryreasonable price.If you do a search on the Internet by simply typingʻArduinoʼ into the search box of your favourite searchengine, you will be amazed at the huge amount ofwebsites dedicated to the Arduino. You can find amind boggling amount of information on projects madewith the Arduino and if you have a project in mind, willeasily find information that will help you to get yourproject up and running easily.The Arduino is an amazing device and will enable youto make anything from interactive works of art torobots. With a little enthusiasm to learn how toprogram the Arduino and make it interact with othercomponents a well as a bit of imagination, you canbuild anything you want.The Arduino can also be extended with the use ofʻShieldsʼ which are circuit boards containing otherdevices (e.g. GPS receivers, LCD Displays, Ethernetconnections, etc.) that you can simply slot into the topof your Arduino to get extra functionality. You donʼthave to use a shield if you donʼt want to as you canmake the exact same circuitry using a breadboard,some veroboard or even by making your own PCBʼs.This book and the kit will give you the necessary skillsneeded to get started in this exciting and creativehobby.So, now you know what an Arduino is and what youcan do with it, letʼs open up the starter kit and diveright in.There are many different variants of the Arduinoavailable. The most common one is the Diecimila orthe Duemilanove. You can also get Mini, Nano andBluetooth Arduinoʼs.New to the product line is the new Arduino Mega withincreased memory and number of I/O pins.Probably the most versatile Arduino, and hence thereason it is the most popular, is the Duemilanove. Thisis because it uses a standard 28 pin chip, attached toan IC Socket. The beauty of this systems is that if youmake something neat with the Arduino and then wantto turn it into something permanent (e.g. Or understairs cupboard light), then instead of using therelatively expensive Arduino board, you can simplyuse the Arduino to develop your device, then pop thechip out of the board and place it into your own circuitboard in your custom device. You would then havemade a custom embedded device, which is really cool.10
