USING ARDUINO UNO

PREPARING TO USE THE PHYSICAL ARDUINO UNO BOARD

OBJECTIVES

• In this lesson, we will

• explore the physical Arduino Uno Board.
• identify the different parts of the Arduino Uno microcontroller board and their purpose
• learn to interpret the circuit designs created using TinkerCad and make an actual circuit.
• Observe safety practices in handling electronic circuits.
REVIEW: IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING.

Write your answers in your notebook.

1. It is the type of circuit that allows the current to flow through the circuit and
allowing the circuit to function properly.
2. In this type of circuit, the components are connected in branches, forming
multiple paths for current to flow through.
3. In this circuit, the current cannot flow through the circuit, and the circuit
won't function properly.
REVIEW: IDENTIFY THE FOLLOWING.

4. In this type of circuit, the current cannot flow through the circuit, and the
circuit won't function properly, because it is incomplete or broken.
5. This type of circuit can cause a large amount of current to flow through the
circuit which can cause the components to overheat and even damage.
LET’S CHECK THE ARDUINO BOARD AGAIN
PARTS OF THE ARDUINO BOARD THAT WE WILL USE

•  USB PORT
• This is used to connect your Arduino board to a computer
• Digital pins (1-13)-
• pins that use digital logic (0,1 or LOW/HIGH). Commonly used for switches and to turn
on/off an LED.

• PWM PINS (Pulse With Modulation; marked with a ‘~’ or tilde)-

• PWM allows the Arduino board to simulate analog output using digital pins. With
PWM, Arduino can produce varying values from 0 to 255.
PARTS OF THE ARDUINO BOARD THAT WE WILL USE

•  Analog pins (A0-A5)

• - pins that can read analog values in a 10-bit resolution (0-1023).
• 5V / 3.3V pins
• - these pins are used to power external components.PWM PINS (Pulse
With Modulation;

• GND
• - also known as ground, negative or simply -, is used to complete a
circuit, where the electrical level is at 0 volt.
PARTS OF THE ARDUINO BOARD THAT WE WILL USE

•  Barrel Jack
• - used to connect an external power source such as a battery5V / 3.3V pin
• Reset Button
• - pressing this restarts the program.
FROM TINKERCAD TO ACTUAL CIRCUIT

• In this activity, we will create a simple circuit based on a TinkerCad Design.

• In this design, we will connect a single LED circuit which will be powered
by the Arduino Board.
COMPONENT LIST
TINKERCAD CIRCUIT Connect the circuit as shown
• The resistor to the negative strip
of the breadboard and
to i-20
• Place the negative leg of the LED
to h-20; and
• The positive leg to h-21
• Connect the negative strip to one
of the GND pins of the
Arduino
• Connect the 5V pin of the
Arduino to f-21
DOUBLE CHECK YOUR CIRCUIT

• Make sure your connections are correct before connecting to the Arduino
Board.
• Connect the board to the USB port of the PC
