Arduino Mini-Workshop Outline

The Arduino mini-workshop is designed for students with basic programming knowledge, focusing on hands-on learning in electronics, microcontrollers, and robotics. Over four weeks, participants will learn about Arduino basics, digital and analog inputs, and motor control, culminating in a final project that combines these elements. Each week includes theoretical concepts and practical exercises to reinforce learning and encourage creativity in project development.

Arduino mini-Workshop

This workshop outline is meant for students with basic knowledge in


programming (optional), it introduces the learner to a practical approach to
learning-by-doing. It includes some necessary theoretical aspects that provide
the reasoning & logic for working with basic electronics, microcontrollers, and
robotics.

Week 1: Introduction to Arduino and Basic


Electronics
Overview of Arduino (15 mins)
- Introduction to the Arduino platform, IDE, and how it fits into the world of
microcontrollers.

Basic Circuit Concepts (15 mins)


- Explanation of basic components (resistors, LEDs, power supply) and
setting up a simple circuit.

Hands-on: Blinking an LED (60 mins)


- Set up the Arduino board, write the code, and upload it to blink an LED.
- Focus on understanding the structure of an Arduino sketch, digital pins,
and output control.

Week 2: Working with Inputs and Sensors


Digital Input: Using a Button (15 mins)
- Understanding digital input using a push button.

Hands-on: Button-Controlled LED (60 mins)


- Write code to turn an LED on and off based on button presses.
- Introduction to if statements and basic logic control.

Intro to Analog Input (15 mins)


- Explanation of analog input, using a potentiometer to control the LED’s
brightness (preview for Week 3).

Week 3: Analog Inputs and Outputs


Analog Input and Output (15 mins)
- Deeper dive into analog pins and the analogRead() function.
Hands-on: LED Brightness Control (60 mins)
- Use a potentiometer to control the brightness of an LED.
- Introduction to PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and using analogWrite() to
control the output.

Optional: Sensor Integration (Temperature/Light Sensor)


(15 mins)
- Brief introduction to how to use sensors with analog input to gather real-
world data.

Week 4: Working with Motors and Final


Project
Controlling a Servo Motor (15 mins)
- Basics of controlling motors with Arduino, using libraries like Servo.h.

Hands-on: Servo Motor Control (30 mins)


- Write code to control the position of a servo motor based on sensor input
or manual control (e.g., potentiometer).

Final Project: Simple Interactive System (45 mins)


- Students build a simple project combining input (button/sensor) and
output (LED/motor).
- Example: A button-controlled servo motor or light-based control system.

Key Takeaways
 Each week includes both theoretical background and hands-on practice,
with projects that progressively build on the previous ones.
 By Week 4, participants will have enough experience to combine inputs
and outputs into a mini-project.
 The final project allows for creative freedom, students are free to create
their own projects.
 A list of simple projects will be provided for those who prefer it.
