Are you new to Arduino and looking for exciting projects to try out? Look no further!
In this blog post, we've put together a list of cool Arduino projects for beginners.
Blinking LED:
A classic project, blinking an LED is a great way to get started with Arduino. With just a few lines of code, you can make an LED blink on and off at different intervals.
// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.
Blinking LED:
A classic project, blinking an LED is a great way to get started with Arduino. With just a few lines of code, you can make an LED blink on and off at different intervals.
int ledPin = 13;
void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // initialize the digital pin as an output}
void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level) delay(1000); // wait for a second digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW delay(1000); // wait for a second}
This code defines an integer variable ledPin and sets it to the value of the digital pin connected to the LED (in this case, pin 13). The setup() function is called once when the program starts and initializes the pin as an output using pinMode().
The loop() function is called repeatedly after setup(), and it contains the code to turn the LED on and off. The digitalWrite() function is used to set the voltage level of the pin to HIGH or LOW, which turns the LED on and off, respectively.
The delay() function is used to pause the program for a specified number of milliseconds (in this case, 1000 milliseconds, or 1 second) between turning the LED on and off. This creates the blinking effect.
2. Temperature Sensor: :
Learn how to use a temperature sensor with Arduino to monitor the temperature in your home, office, or workshop.
#include <OneWire.h>
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
// Data wire is plugged into pin 2 on the Arduino
#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2
// Setup a oneWire instance to communicate with the temperature sensor
OneWire oneWire(ONE_WIRE_BUS);
// Pass our oneWire reference to Dallas Temperature sensor
DallasTemperature sensors(&oneWire);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
sensors.begin();
}
void loop() {
sensors.requestTemperatures(); // Send the command to get temperature readings
// Get the temperature in Celsius
float tempC = sensors.getTempCByIndex(0);
// Print the temperature to the serial monitor
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(tempC);
Serial.println(" degrees Celsius");
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second before taking the next reading
}
In this code, we include two libraries: OneWire and DallasTemperature. OneWire is used to communicate with the DS18B20 temperature sensor, and DallasTemperature is used to read the temperature from the sensor.
We then define the pin to which the data wire of the temperature sensor is connected (#define ONE_WIRE_BUS 2). In this example, we have connected it to pin 2 of the Arduino.
In the setup() function, we begin serial communication and initialize the DallasTemperature library.
In the loop() function, we first send a command to the temperature sensor to get temperature readings using the requestTemperatures() function. We then use the getTempCByIndex() function to get the temperature reading in Celsius.
Finally, we print the temperature to the serial monitor using Serial.print() and Serial.println(), and wait for 1 second before taking the next reading using delay(1000).
3 . Servo Motor Control:
Servo motors are widely used in robotics and automation. This project teaches you how to control a servo motor with Arduino.
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo; // create servo object
int potpin = A0; // analog input pin for the potentiometer
int val; // variable to store the potentiometer value
void setup() {
myservo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
}
void loop() {
val = analogRead(potpin); // reads the potentiometer value (0 to 1023)
val = map(val, 0, 1023, 0, 180); // maps the potentiometer value to degrees (0 to 180)
myservo.write(val); // sets the servo position based on the mapped value
delay(15); // waits for the servo to move to the new position
}
In this code, we first include the Servo library, which provides the functionality to control a servo motor. We then create a Servo object called myservo.
We also define an integer variable potpin, which represents the analog input pin to which the potentiometer is connected. We also define a variable val to store the potentiometer value.
In the setup() function, we attach the servo to pin 9 using the attach() function.
In the loop() function, we first read the potentiometer value using analogRead() and store it in the val variable. We then use the map() function to map the potentiometer value (which ranges from 0 to 1023) to degrees (which range from 0 to 180, the range of motion of most servo motors). We then set the position of the servo motor using myservo.write(), passing the mapped value as the parameter.
Finally, we wait for a short period of time (15 milliseconds) to allow the servo motor to move to the new position using delay(). This process is repeated continuously in the loop() function, resulting in the servo motor being controlled by the potentiometer.
This code defines an integer variable ledPin and sets it to the value of the digital pin connected to the LED (in this case, pin 13). The setup() function is called once when the program starts and initializes the pin as an output using pinMode().
The loop() function is called repeatedly after setup(), and it contains the code to turn the LED on and off. The digitalWrite() function is used to set the voltage level of the pin to HIGH or LOW, which turns the LED on and off, respectively.
