Study Notes
Introduction to Robotics and Microcontroller
- Robotics is the science of building and designing robots.
- A robot is a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, with minimal or no human intervention.
Microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a highly integrated chip containing all the components comprising a controller.
Arduino Board
- An Arduino board can read inputs (light sensor, button press, message) and convert them into outputs.
- Arduino boards are a popular standard for creating electronic projects due to their ease of use.
General Overview of the Parts List
- Arduino UNO is a development board with inputs and outputs used to manipulate the physical world.
USB A to USB B Cable
- Used to connect the Arduino board to the computer for uploading programs and sending data.
LED (Light Emitting Diodes)
- Light-emitting components used as visual indicators.
Resistors
- Electronic components used to limit the current flow in a circuit for protection.
Potentiometer
- A variable resistor used to adjust and control electrical devices.
Tactile Switch
- A mechanical device completing a circuit connection when pressed.
Light-Dependent Resistor (LDR)
- A resistive electronic component whose resistance varies with illuminance.
Connecting Wires (male-female)
- A connector used for connecting male and female headers.
Connecting Wires (male-male)
- A connector used for connecting two male headers.
