Arduino Uno Tutorial for Beginners

Introduction to Robotics
Robotics is about making machines (robots) that can perform tasks automatically or with little human
help. Robots are used in industries, hospitals, and even in space.

Why Learn Robotics?


- Automation - Robots do work faster and without getting tired.
- Problem Solving - Helps in thinking and creating new ideas.
- Future Jobs - Robotics is used in cars, medicine, and factories.

What is Arduino?
Arduino is a small electronic board that acts as the brain of a robot. It can control motors, lights, and
sensors.

Why Use Arduino?


- Easy to Learn - Simple coding and connections.
- Affordable - Costs less than other controllers.
- Powerful - Can control motors, sensors, and displays.
- Large Community Support - Many online tutorials and projects.
- Low Power Use - Can run on batteries.

Getting Started with Arduino


To begin with Arduino, you need:
- Arduino Uno board
- USB cable (for connecting to a computer)
- LED (Light Emitting Diode)
- 220-ohm resistor
- Jumper wires
- Breadboard

Installing Arduino IDE


1. Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/software.
2. Download and install the Arduino IDE.
3. Open Arduino IDE and connect your Arduino Uno using a USB cable.

Blinking LED Program


This program turns an LED on and off every second.

Connections:
- Connect LED (+) (long leg) to pin 13 of Arduino.
- Connect LED (-) (short leg) to GND.
- If using a breadboard, place a 220-ohm resistor between LED and pin 13.

Code:

void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

Uploading the Code


1. Open Arduino IDE.
2. Copy the above code and paste it.
3. Select Tools > Board > Arduino Uno.
4. Select Tools > Port > COM (your Arduino port).
5. Click Upload (Right arrow button).

What Will Happen?


The LED on pin 13 will blink ON and OFF every second.
Next Steps
- Control multiple LEDs.
- Use sensors like Ultrasonic or IR.
- Build a small robot with Arduino.
