WHY PROGRAMMING?

• Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes. Edsger Dijkstra

• The computer revolution hasn’t happened yet. Allan Kay

• Debugging is the essence of intellectual activity. Seymour Pappert


TINKERING


Tinkering, the “MacGyver” styleFrom the “Tinkering” exhibition at the Exploratorium,San Francisco:

“Tinkering is what happens when you try something youdon’t quite know how to do, guided by whim, imagination,and curiosity.When you tinker, there are no instructions - but thereare also no failures, no right or wrong ways of doingthings. It’s about figuring out how things work andreworking them.Contraptions, machines, wildly mismatched objectsworking in harmony - This the stuff of tinkering.”


This definition says a lot about the Arduino way ofprototyping. Actually there is not a manual on how to do things but a reference collection of samples that people can modify and combine with other examples to learn about the logic of the programme and the board.It’s a “hands on” way of working in which even junkbecomes a source for learning and building prototypes.The reuse of material from other fields is an other bigknowledge and material source. Learning how to dothings by looking how other things work and can behacked.Circuit bending and patching are two key words in thislearning school.


THE HACKER ATTITUDE FOR OUR STUDENTS


The Hacker Attitude for our students

Five things taken from Eric S. Raymond’s How To Become a Hacker:1. The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.2. No problem should ever have to be solved twice.3. Boredom and drudgery are evil.4. Freedom is good.5. Attitude is no substitute for competence.


What is Arduino

• Open Source Hardware, you can make your own board, or buy one.

• Cheap, easily available.• Open Source Software.• Very widespread, many projects openly

available.• Extra HW (shields) available (over 250 at

ESPLORA

LEONARDO


Arduino Uno


Arduino Language

• C like syntax, but simplified• Abstracts the pin naming to numbers• Trades efficience for ease of use• Easy to learn, yet powerful• Lots of example code • Easy to reuse C-code from other projects• Libraries can be written in C++• Lots of libraries available

Loop codeMain code


/*BlinkTurns on an LED on for one second,then off for one second, repeatedly.This example code is based on example code that is in the public domain.*/const int LED = 13; /* LED connected to digital pin 13*/void setup() {// initialize the digital pin as an output./*Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards: */pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);}void loop() {digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // set the LED ondelay(1000); // wait for a seconddigitalWrite(LED, LOW); // set the LED off delay(1000); // wait for a second}

Blink code is the equivalent to a Hello world to test our Arduino board

SOURCE CODE: RGB-LED colour change depending on light level

int valueLDR = 1;

int ledRed = 9;

int ledGreen=10;

int ledBlue=11;

int pinLDR = 1;

//3 outputs for each RGB colour: red, green and blue

void setup(){

pinMode(ledRed, OUTPUT);

pinMode(ledGreen, OUTPUT);

pinMode(ledBlue, OUTPUT);

analogReference(EXTERNAL);

}

/*First we define the variable name as integer and it is assigneda value*/

/*The setup function comes before the loop function, and everythinghappens inside the curly backets*/

/*Outputs are declared in setup, this is done by usingthe pinMode function, in this particular example we declare numbers 9, 10 and 11 as OUTPUT (in capital letters)*/

// or /*Comment*/ can be anywhere, do not affect code, help others


void loop() {

valueLDR = analogRead(pinLDR);

if(valueLDR >= 1023){

digitalWrite(ledRed, 128);

digitalWrite(ledGreen, 0);

digitalWrite(ledBlue, 0);

// digitalWrite to obtain different colours

}

else if((valueLDR >= 959) & (valueLDR < 1023)){




}

The “void” in the header is what the function will return (or spit out) when it happens, in this case it returns nothing so it is void





digitalWrite(ledBlue, 0);}













}

















}

















}


else if((valueLDR >= 127) & (valueLDR < 191))

{




else if((valueLDR >= 63) & (valueLDR < 127))

{




else if((valueLDR >=0) & (valueLDR < 63)){



digitalWrite(ledBlue, 55); }

else

{




}

}

void color(int red, int green, int blue)

{

analogWrite(ledRed, 255-red);

analogWrite(ledGreen, 255-green);

analogWrite(ledBlue, 255-blue);

// PWM for every colour
