Teaching Electronics
From Laen
Each step involves learning a little C programming, starting off with the Arduino environment, then teaching more and more of the underlying hardware.
Contents |
Level 1 - Introduction to Microcontrollers
- Blink an LED on and off.
- Read the state of a button.
Level 2 - Basic I/O
- Talk to a shift register.
- Read a sensor.
- Time pulses
- Serial.println
Level 3 - Electricity
Capacitance, resistance, voltage, and current.
- Charge a capacitor, discharge it through a resistor to an LED.
- Measure capacitance by measuring the discharge time, then discharging the thing.
- Measure resistance using a voltage divider.
- Drive a transistor
Level 4a - Interacting With The World
- Driving motors (with the transistor)
- H-Bridges
- Making sound
Level 4b - Extended I/O
- i2c - Digital temperature sensor
- SPI - EEPROM
- Parallel busses (LCD)
Level ?
- Timers and Interrupts
- Build a programmer
- Program for different chips.
- PORTs.
