Tut10 Ten Arduino Projects For Absolute Beginners
Tutorial 10: Ten Arduino Projects for Absolute Beginners
Created on: 2 August 2012
This tutorial features ten Arduino Projects for absolute beginners. The projects have been selected from the Arduino IDE built in examples, so no code needs to be downloaded – all programs can be loaded to the Arduino straight from the IDE.
Only a few basic electronic components are needed to build these projects. The projects are a great way of exploring some of the capabilities of Arduino.
Prerequisites
Complete Tutorial 3: Starting with Arduino and Tutorial 9: Using the Arduino Serial Port. It is also recommended to complete Arduino tutorial 4 and tutorial 7.
Read about potentiometers, LDRs and piezo disks.
Components
Besides an Arduino Uno board, USB cable, wire links and a breadboard, you will need:
| Qty | Part | Notes | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1M ohm resistor (1 meg ohm) (brown - black - green) | 1/4W, 5% or better | Resistor |
| 1 | 10k resistor (brown - black - orange) | ||
| 1 | 4k7 resistor (yellow - violet - red) | ||
| 10 | 220 ohm resistors (red - red - brown) | ||
| 1 | 100 ohm resistor (brown - black - brown) | ||
| 10 | LEDs (e.g. red or green 3mm or 5mm LEDs) | Semiconductor | |
| 1 | LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) | Transducer | |
| 1 | Piezo disc | ||
| 1 | 8 ohm loudspeaker | ||
| 1 | push button or toggle switch | Or just a wire link will do | Switch |
