Getting started

This workshop uses materials and examples that are based on the components included in the project starter kit.

What do you need (hardware)?

• Arduino-like microcontroller board

  

• 4x7 segments display

  

• 7 segments display

  

• Breadboard/protoboard

  

• Buzzers

  

• 16x2 Display

  

• Fotoresistor

  

• IR Controller

  

• Jumper wires

  

• LEDs

  

• Potentiometer

  

• Push buttons

  

• Resistors

  

• Servo motor

  

• Step motor

  

• Tilt sensor

  

Install the Arduino software

1. Install Arduino

Visit the Arduino software page and download the latest Arduino IDE version for your OS.

• Arduino IDE or Arduino Cloud

  

2. Install drivers

You need to install drivers to program the Arduino. Drivers convert data sent through the USB port into serial signals that the Arduino can understand.

• Drivers (in case they are not installed by default)
• Check the module example to check extra dependencies

3. Launch Arduino

Launch the Arduino application. It will open to the template of a new, empty sketch. Here's what it looks like.

•
