Toys and IoT design and coding software. Arduino IDE
Objectives The goal in the context of the project is to gain knowledge and skills about: Arduino Microcontroller, as well as installing and acquaintance with the environment. Arduino and Arduino compatible controllers are very suitable for designing new o redesigns in the toy hacking. They can be programmed to detect an event that was triggered by a sensor, and then perform an action based on that event. Microcontrollers are a great platform for performing these tasks due to their miniature size and meager power requirements. A microcontroller unit (MCU) is a simple computer designed and built in a small form factor. When paired with sensors or actuators, microcontrollers can be programmed to act based on triggers. Arduino is a popular microcontroller for prototyping. A large number of compatible controllers, sensors and executive devices have been developed that greatly expand Arduino’s capabilities. How to do it? The instructor introduces the students to the material using a multimedia projector or an interactive whiteboard. For this purpose, it uses pre-prepared local and online resources. The training is conducted by the Arduino IDE. The Arduino IDE software package is a program that allows you to interact with the Arduino board. It is free software that can be downloaded at the Arduino web site: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software Arduino sketch keywords can be divided in three main category types: structures, values (variables and constants), and functions. A complete list of sketch keywords can be found at https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage and test on https://create.arduino.cc/editor .
