Arduino

Students use the C language to program their microcontrollers. The Arduino Uno programmer is the hardware device which installs the program on a microcontroller. One of the many advantages of the Arduino is that the integrated development environment (IDE) is free. The IDE checks the program for errors. It also compiles and installs the program on the microcontroller. A microcontroller is a small computer with memory and a processor. It holds the program that controls the functions of many common devices. The microcontroller that we use is the ATmega 328P-PU. Many code samples are available. A quick internet search reveals a wide assortment of imaginative Arduino uses. They include robots, gadgets, and scientific instruments. Arduino controls quadcopters and unmanned fixed wing aircraft (www.ubcuas.com). This IDE is featured in undergraduate coding courses at many universities and polytechnics. Michael McRoberts' introductory lab manual (see link below) is an excellent place to start learning to code in the C language. An Arduino lab checklist is included in this section.
