Introduction ARDUINO INTERFACE BOARDS provide the Evil Genius with a low-cost, easy-to-use technology to create their evil projects A whole new breed of projects can now be built that can be controlled from a computer Before long, the computercontrolled, servo-driven laser will be complete and the world will be at the mercy of the Evil Genius! This book will show the Evil Genius how to attach an Arduino. .. that we can alter the Blink program and send it down to the board The exact procedure depends on what operating system you use on your computer But the basic principle is the same for all Install the USB driver that allows the computer to talk to the Arduino s USB port It uses this for programming and sending messages 1 2 30 Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius Figure 1-1 A powered-up Arduino board with... specify the operating system name for the port that is connected to the USB port for communicating with the Arduino board, and we need to specify the type of Arduino board that we are using But first, you need to connect your Arduino to your The software for all of these sketches is available for download The whole download is less than a megabyte, so it makes sense to download the software for all of the. .. no further than their favorite online auction site or search engine Since the Arduino is an open-source hardware design, anyone is free to take the designs and create their own clones of the Arduino and sell them, so the market for the boards is competitive An official Arduino costs about $30, and a clone often less than $20 The name Arduino is reserved by the original makers However, clone Arduino. .. sketch has been installed, the board will automatically reset, and if everything has worked, you will see the LED for digital port 13 start to flash much more quickly than before Uploading the sketch to the Arduino board 10 30 Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius Hardware At the moment, this doesn’t really seem like real electronics because the hardware is all contained on the Arduino board In this section,... an Arduino board, as well as the board itself There is a large community of construction, programming, electronics, and even art enthusiasts willing to share their expertise and experience on the Internet To begin using Arduino, first go to the Arduino site (www .arduino. cc) and download the software for Mac, PC, or LINUX You can then either buy an official Arduino by clicking the Buy An xi xii 30 Arduino. .. of these little computers to use in our projects? What’s on an Arduino Board? Figure 2-1 shows our Arduino board—or in this case an Arduino clone Let us have a quick tour of the various components on the board The answer is that we really do get a little computer on a chip It has everything and more than the first home computers had It has a 15 16 30 Arduino Projects for the Evil Genius Figure 2-1 The .
