| Event Objective | To provide the fundamental knowledge of Arduino Processor with hands on practice. |
| Event Outcome | Participants gained a fundamental understanding of how the Arduino platform works, including its hardware and software components. |
Speaker started the session with the introduction of Arduino. He explains the types of Arduinos available in the market and how students can reform them into a commercial product. He has also shown them the working model using Arduino. Around 46 third year ECE students attended the workshop.
The Workshop content is as follows:
Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board or microcontroller and a software, IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on the computer. It is used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.
- Familiarization of Arduino IDE.
- LED blinking with different ON/OFF delay timings with a. inbuilt LED b. Externally interfaced LED
- Arduino based voltage measurement of 12V solar PV module/ 12V battery and displaying the measured value using the I2C LCD.
- Arduino based DC measurement using Hall-effect current sensor like LEM LA55P sensor and displaying the value using I2C LCD module.
- DC motor speed control using MOSFET driven by PWM signal from Arduino module. Program on Arduino to upload temperature and humidity data to thingspeak cloud. Program on Arduino to retrieve temperature and humidity data from the thingspeak cloud.
By conducting the workshop, students understand what an Arduino is and how it works. Program Arduino using code written in Arduino IDE. Use different sensors , components and prototype modules using a breadboard. And learn to build innovative project with Arduino.At the end of the session Some prominent questions were asked by the students regarding the interfacing of arduino that was promptly answered by the speaker.
