Http://www.elego.cc Lesson 0 Installing IDE Introduction In this lesson, you will learn how to setup your computer to use Arduino and how to set about the lessons that follow. Installing Arduino (Windows) The Arduino software that you will use to program your Arduino is available for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Page 7
Http://www.elego.cc When the zip file has downloaded, extract the contents onto the Desktop, by right-clicking on the file and selecting 'Extract All...' from the pop-up menu. Next select your Desktop and click 'Extract'. You can move it somewhere else onto your computer later, just by moving the folder, but for now, just keep it on the Desktop.
Page 8
Http://www.elego.cc Right-click on the device and select the top menu option (Update Driver Software...). You will then be prompted to either ‘Search Automatically for updated driver software’ or ‘Browse my computer for driver software’. Select the option to browse and navigate to the arduino-1.0.2-windows\arduino1.0.2\drivers.
Page 9
Http://www.elego.cc Click 'Next' and you may get a security warning, if so, allow the software to be installed. Once the software has been installed, you will get a confirmation message. That's it, you are now ready for action, so Skip the next section on installation on Mac and Linux and move straight on to 'Boards and Ports'.
Page 10
Http://www.elego.cc Save the install software to your desktop or wherever The process for installing the Arduino software on the Mac is a lot easier than on the PC. As before, the first step is to download the file. In the case of the Mac, it is a zip file.
Page 11
Http://www.elego.cc You can now find and launch the Arduino software in your Applications folder. As you are going to use it frequently, you may wish to right-click its icon in the dock and set it to Keep In Dock. There are many different LINUX distributions and the instructions for each distribution are a little different.
Page 12
Http://www.elego.cc This will start the Arduino IDE, but before you can get programming, you have to tell the Arduino software which type of Arduino board you are using and also select the port it is connecting to. To tell the Arduino IDE which type of board you are using. From the 'Tools' menu, select Board and then 'Arduino Uno' or 'Leonardo' as appropriate.
Page 13
Http://www.elego.cc If you are using Windows, there will probably only be one option here and it will either say COM3 or COM4. Even though there is only one option, you will still need to select it. If you are using a Mac or Linux, there will be more options there, but it will usually be the top option in the list, as this will be the device most recently plugged in.
Http://www.elego.cc Lesson 1 Add Libraries Once you are comfortable with the Arduino software and using the built-in functions, you may want to extend the ability of your Arduino with additional libraries. What are Libraries? Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect to a sensor, display, module, etc.
Page 15
Http://www.elego.cc Then the library manager will open and you will find a list of libraries that are already installed or ready for installation. In this example we will install the Bridge library. Scroll the list to find it, then select the version of the library you want to install. Sometimes only one version of the library is available.
Page 16
Http://www.elego.cc Importing a .zip Library Libraries are often distributed as a ZIP file or folder. The name of the folder is the name of the library. Inside the folder will be a .cpp file, a .h file and often a keywords.txt file, examples folder, and other files required by the library.
Page 17
Http://www.elego.cc Drag the ArduinoParty folder into this folder (your libraries folder). Under Windows, it will likely be called "My Documents\Arduino\libraries". For Mac users, it will likely be called "Documents/Arduino/libraries". On Linux, it will be the "libraries" folder in your sketchbook.
Again we will be using a Library specifically designed for these sensors that will make our code short and easy to write. Component Required: (1) x Elego Uno R3 (1) x USB cable (1) x DHT11 module (x) x F-M wires...

They are almost always used for remote control detection - every TV and DVD player has one of these in the front to listen for the IR signal from the clicker.
Page 39
Http://www.elego.cc As you can see from these datasheet graphs, the peak frequency detection is at 38 KHz and the peak LED color is 940 nm. You can use from about 35 KHz to 41 KHz but the sensitivity will drop off so that it wont detect as well from afar. Likewise, you can use 850 to 1100 nm LEDs but they wont work as well as 900 to 1000nm so make sure to get matching LEDs! Check the datasheet for your IR LED to verify the wavelength.
