Exercises¶
We will have very few formal assignments; the majority of work will be in-class tutorials and project work. The practical lab exercises for this course are drawn from the Fall Creative Kinetic Systems course.
Arduino IDE and Programming¶
- Arduino Introduction. Basic description, finding Arduino software.
- Coding, Compiling, Deploying. Running several sample programs, modifying code.
Elementary Electronics¶
- Photointerruptor Sensing. Reflective photointerruptor circuit, Ohm’s law in practice.
Arduino with Electronics¶
- H-Bridge DC Motor Driver. Driving DC motors in both directions at variable speed.
- Unipolar Drivers. Driving solenoids, relays, large lamps, and unidirectional DC motors.
- Servo Sweep. Drive a servo motor along simple trajectories.
Signals and Time¶
