With Eng. Johny Nassar
Course Objectives:
- Understanding Arduino Basics: Participants will familiarize themselves with the Arduino UNO R3 Controller Board and its functionalities, including input and output pins, digital and analog signals, and basic programming concepts using the Arduino IDE.
- Sensor Integration: Students will learn to integrate a diverse range of sensors into their robotic projects, including photoresistors, thermistors, ultrasonic sensors, IR receivers, and more. They will understand how to collect and process data from these sensors to make informed decisions for robot control.
- Actuator Control: Through hands-on exercises, participants will gain proficiency in controlling various actuators such as LEDs (white, yellow, blue, green, red, RGB), buzzers (active and passive), servos, stepper motors, and DC motors using Arduino and motor driver modules like IC L293D and ULN2003.
- Display Techniques: Students will explore different display options for their robots, including 7-segment displays, LCD displays (LCD1602 I2C), and LED matrix displays, to convey information and interact with users.
- Interactivity and User Input: Participants will understand how to incorporate user input devices such as buttons, joysticks, membrane switches, and remote controls to enable interactivity and user control in their robotic projects.
- Communication Protocols: The course will cover communication protocols like I2C and serial communication to enable communication between Arduino boards and peripheral devices, facilitating more complex robotic functionalities.
- Robotic Applications: Through guided projects, participants will apply their newfound knowledge to build practical robotic applications, such as obstacle avoidance using ultrasonic sensors, line following with IR sensors, temperature and humidity monitoring with DHT11 modules, and more.
- Capstone Project: In the final session, participants will apply their cumulative knowledge and skills to design and implement a comprehensive robotic project of their choice, showcasing their proficiency as robotics trainers.
Prerequisites:
- Access to a computer with internet connectivity.
- Enthusiasm and eagerness to learn about robotics and Arduino.
Kit Delivery:
Participants will receive a comprehensive Arduino robotics kit containing all necessary components, including sensors, actuators, controllers, and accessories, delivered to their doorstep prior to the course start date.
