Where To Begin I am NOT an EXPERT The opinions expressed here are those of a die-
hard Do-It-Yourself Christmas Addict. Do try this at home, your mileage may
vary, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, the 3rd time is a charm, but no Resistors, Capacitors, or LEDs were harmed during the development of this presentation.
Now ……… On with the show……..

Where To Begin
• Some Definitions • The “Original” Arduino • What, How, and Why • Shields Up • Variations On A Theme • Where To Go From Here

Some Definitions • Microcontroller
– PIC, Propeller, Stamp, ATmega, ATtiny, etc.
Christmas Light Addition Program – 2013 © 5/11/2013 5
Some Definitions • Development Environment (IDE)
– AVR Studio, MP Lab, Arduino, etc.
• Programming Language – C, C+, Java, Python, Arduino, etc.

Some Definitions • Bootloader
– Firmware “image” for different versions and/or variations of Arduino
– From www.Arduino.cc – In order for the development environment to
be able to program the chip, it has to be programmed with a piece of code called a bootloader.
– If you want to use the full program space (flash) of the chip or avoid the bootloader delay, you can burn your sketches using an external programmer

Some Definitions • Programmers
– PICkit, AVR ISP, USBtinyISP, Arduino, etc.
• Open Source

The “Original” Arduino From: http://www.arduino.cc/
• Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.
• Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.

The “Original” Arduino • The microcontroller on the board is programmed using
the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
• The boards can be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them to your needs.

The “Original” Arduino
• Arduino received an Honorary Mention in the Digital Communities section of the 2006 Ars Electronica Prix.
• The Arduino team is: Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis.

Shields Up • From:
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoShields
– Shields are boards that can be plugged on top of the Arduino PCB extending its capabilities. The different shields follow the same philosophy as the original toolkit: they are easy to mount, and cheap to produce.

Variations On A Theme • What makes an Arduino board an Arduino?
• The Arduino module is a simplified microcontroller board. Although there are an increasing number of alternate form factors, the original design includes all the electronic parts necessary to power and communicate with the microcontroller: regulator, clock crystal, USB-to-serial interface, and SPI programming interface for replacing the bootloader.

Variations On A Theme • What makes an Arduino board an Arduino?
• An Arduino board is more than a piece of hardware. It's also the software that lets you program and communicate with it, the documentation and tutorials that explain how to use it, and the community that can help you when you have trouble. It's the fact that all of these work together that, more than any individual piece, makes the project useful.
