Project Details
Project 1: Hello World
1.Introduction
As for starters, we will begin with something simple. In this project, you only need an Arduino and a USB Cable to start the "Hello World!" experiment. It is not only a communication test of your Arduino and PC, but also a primer project for you to have your first try in the Arduino world!

After installing driver for Arduino, let's open Arduino software and compile code that enables Arduino to print "Hello World!" under your instruction. Of course, you can compile code for Arduino to continuously echo "Hello World!" without instruction. A simple If () statement will do the instruction trick. when Arduino gets an instruction and then to print "Hello World!”.

Project 2: LED Blinking
1.Introduction
Blinking LED experiment is quite simple. In the "Hello World!" program, we have come across LED. This time, we are going to connect an LED to one of the digital pins rather than using LED13 soldered to the board. Apart from an Arduino and a USB cable, you will need extra parts as below
2.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- Red M5 LED*1
- 220Ω Resistor*1
- Breadboard*1
- Breadboard Jumper Wire*2
- USB cable*1
3.Little Knowledge
LED is a type of semiconductor called "Light Emitting Diode "which is an electronic device made of semiconductor materials (silicon, selenium, germanium, etc.). It is dubbed indicator, digital and word display in circuit and device. It has positive and negative poles. The short leg is negative pole, the long one is positive pole.
Resistor：Resistor is the electronic component in the circuit, which limits and regulates current flow. Its unit is (Ω). The units larger than ohms are kiloohms (KΩ) and megaohms (MΩ). When in use, in addition to the size of the resistance, you must also pay attention to its power. In the project, the leads at both ends of the resistor should be bent at a 90° angle to fit the breadboard properly. If the lead is too long, it can be cut to an appropriate length.
A breadboard is used to build and test circuits quickly before finalizing any circuit design. The breadboard has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted. A typical breadboard is shown below:
The bread board has strips of metal which run underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and bottom rows of holes are connected horizontally while the remaining holes are connected vertically.
To use the bread board, the legs of components are placed in the holes. Each set of holes connected by a metal a strip underneath forms anode
4.Circuit Connection
We follow below diagram from the experimental schematic link. Here we use digital pin 10. We connect LED to a 220 ohm resistor to avoid high current damaging the LED.

Project 3: PWM
1.Introduction
PWM, short for Pulse Width Modulation, is a technique used to encode analog signal level into digital ones. A computer cannot output analog voltage but only digital voltage values such as 0V or 5V. So we use a high resolution counter to encode a specific analog signal level by modulating the duty cycle of PMW.
2.Working Principle
The PWM signal is also digitalized because in any given moment, fully on DC power supply is either 5V (ON), or 0V (OFF). The voltage or current is fed to the analog load (the device that uses the power) by repeated pulse sequence being ON or OFF. Being on, the current is fed to the load; being off, it's not. With adequate bandwidth, any analog value can be encoded using PWM. The output voltage value is calculated via the on and off time. Output voltage = (turn on time/pulse time) * maximum voltage value.
PWM has many applications lamp brightness regulating, motor speed regulating, sound making, etc. The following are the three basic parameters of PMW.
- 1.The amplitude of pulse width (minimum / maximum)
- 2. The pulse period (The reciprocal of pulse frequency in one second)
- 3. The voltage level（such as 0V-5V）
- There are 6 PMW interfaces on Arduino, namely digital pin 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11.
- In previous experiments, we have done "button-controlled LED", using digital signal to control digital pin, also one about potentiometer.
- This time, we will use a potentiometer to control the brightness of the LED.
3.Hardware Required

Project 6: Button-Controlled LED
1.Introduction
I/O port means interface for INPUT and OUTPUT. Up to now, we have only used the OUTPUT function. In this experiment, we will try to use the INPUT function, which is to read the output value of device connecting to it. We use 1 button and 1 LED using both input and output to give you a better understanding of the I/O function. Button switch, familiar to most of us, is a switch value (digital value) component. When it's pressed, the circuit is in closed (conducting) state.
2.Hardware Required

- Button switch*1
- Red M5 LED*1
- 220ΩResistor*1

- USB cable*1
3. Little Knowledge
I believe that button switch is common and popular for people. It belongs to switch quantity( digital quantity)component. Composed of normally open contact and normally closed contact,its working principle is similar with ordinary switch. When the normally open contact bears pressure, the circuit is on state ; however, when this pressure disappears, the normally open contact goes back to initial state, that is, off state. The pressure is the act we switch the button.

Now, let's begin the compiling. When the button is pressed, the LED will be on. Based on the previous study, the coding should be easy for you.
In this program, we add a statement of judgment. Here, we use an if () statement.
Arduino IDE is based on C language, so statements of C language such as while, switch etc. can certainly be used for Arduino program.
When we press the button, pin 7 will output high level. We can program pin 11 to output high level and turn on the LED. When pin 7 outputs low level, pin 11 also outputs low level and the LED remains off.

Photovaristor is commonly applied in the measurement of light, light control and photovoltaic conversion (convert the change of light into the change of electricity).
Photo resistor is also being widely applied to various light control circuit, such as light control and adjustment, optical switches, etc.
We will start with a relatively simple experiment regarding to photovaristor application.
Photovaristor is an element that can change its resistance as light strength changes. So need to read the analog value. You can refer to the PWM experiment, replacing the potentiometer with photovaristor. When there is change in light strength, it will make corresponding change on the LED.

The signals are then input into the central processor and be dealt with accordingly. The shorter lead of the receiving triode is for negative, the other one for positive. Connect negative to 5V pin, positive to resistor; connect the other end of the resistor to GND, connect one end of a jumper wire to a clip which is electrically connected to sensor positive, the other end to analog pin. As shown below
4.Experiment Principle
When it's approaching a fire, the voltage value read from the analog port will differ. If you use a multimeter, you can see that when there is no fire approaching, the voltage it reads is around 0.3V; when there is fire approaching, the voltage it reads is around 1.0V. The nearer the fire is, the higher the voltage is. So in the beginning of the program, you can initialize voltage value i (no fire value); Then, continuously read the analog voltage value j and obtain difference value k=j-i; compare k with 0.6V (123 in binary) to determine whether there is a fire approaching or not; if yes, the buzzer will buzz.

Project 12: LM35 Temperature Sensor
1.Introduction
LM35 is a common and easy-to-use temperature sensor. It does not require other hardware. You just need an analog port to make it work. The difficulty lies in compiling the code to convert the analog value it reads into Celsius temperature. In this project, we will guide you how to use LM35 temperature sensor.
2. Working Principle
LM35 is a widely used temperature sensor with many different package types. At room temperature, it can achieve the accuracy of ±1/4°C without additional calibration processing.
LM35 temperature sensor can produce different voltage by different temperature

Project 14: IR Remote Control
1.Introduction
What is an infrared receiver? The signal from the infrared remote controller is a series of binary pulse code. To avoid the other infrared signal interference during the wireless transmission, the signal is pre-modulated at a specific carrier frequency and then send out by an infrared emission diode. The infrared receiving device needs to filter out other waves and receive signals at that specific frequency and to modulate it back to binary pulse code, known as demodulation.
2.Working Principle
The built-in receiver converts the light signal it received from the sender into feeble electrical signal. The signal will be amplified by the IC amplifier. After automatic gain control, band-pass filtering, demodulation, wave shaping, it returns to the original code. The code is then input to the code identification circuit by the receiver's signal output pin.
3.Pin and Wiring for Infrared Receiver
Infrared receiver has 3 pins. When you use it, connect VOUT to analog pin, GND to GND, VCC to +5V.
4.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- Infrared Remote Controller *1
- Infrared Receiver *1
- LED *6
- 220ΩResistor *6
- Breadboard Wire *11
- USB cable*1
5.Circuit Connection
First, connect the controller board; then connect the infrared receiver as the above mentioned, connect VOUT to digital pin 11, connect the LEDs with resistors and connect the resistors to pin 2,3,4,5,6,7.
Connection for V4.0
Connection for 2560
6.Experimental Principle
If you want to decode the code from the remote controller, you must first know how it's coded. The coding method we use here is NEC protocol. Below is a brief introduction.
• NEC protocol
7.Features
- (1)8 bit address and 8 bit command length
- (2) address and command are transmitted twice for reliability
- (3) pulse distance modulation
- (4) carrier frequency of 38 KHZ
- (5) bit time of 1.125ms or 2.25ms
8.Protocol is as below
• Definition of logical 0 and 1 is as below
• Pulse transmitted when button is pressed and immediately released
The picture above shows a typical pulse train of the NEC protocol. With this protocol the LSB is transmitted first. In this case Address $59 and Command $16 is transmitted. A message is started by a 9ms AGC burst, which was used to set the gain of the earlier IR receivers. This AGC burst is then followed by a 4.5ms space, which is then followed by the address and command. Address and Command are transmitted twice. The second time all bits are inverted and can be used for verification of the received message. The total transmission time is constant because every bit is repeated with its inverted length. If you are not interested in this reliability, you can ignore the inverted values, or you can expend the Address and Command to 16 bits each!
• Pulse transmitted when button is pressed and released after a period of time
A command is transmitted only once, even when the key on the remote control remains pressed. Every 110ms a repeat code is transmitted for as long as the key remains down. This repeat code is simply a 9ms AGC pulse followed by a 2.25ms space and a 560µs burst.
• Repeat pulse
Note when the pulse enters the integrated receiver, there will be decoding, signal amplifying and wave shaping process. So you need to make sure the level of the output is just the opposite from that of the signal sending end.
That is when there is no infrared signal, the output end is in high level; when there is infrared signal, the output end is in low level. You can see the pulse of the receiving end in the oscilloscope. Try to better understand the program based on what you see.

Project 15: Analog Value Reading
1.Introduction
In this experiment, we will begin the study of analog I/O interfaces. On an Arduino, there are 6 analog interfaces numbered from A0 to A5. Next, let's begin our project. Potentiometer used here is a typical output component of analog value that is familiar to us.
2.Hardware Required
V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1 Potentiometer *1 Breadboard*1 Breadboard Jumper Wire*3 USB cable*1
3.Potentiometer Features
Adjustable potentiometer is just a kind of resistor. The resistance is changed by rotating the potentiometer, so is the voltage, speed, brightness and temperature. It is an analog electronic component, which has two states of 0 and 1(high level and low level). The analog quantity is different. Its data state presents a linear state such as 1 to 1000.
4.Circuit Connection
In this experiment, we will convert the resistance value of the potentiometer to analog ones and display it on the screen. This is an application you need to master well for our future experiments.
Connection for V4.0
Connection for 2560
5.Sample Code
The program compiling is simple. An analogRead () Statement can read the value of the interface. The A/D acquisition of Arduino 328 is in 10 bits, so the value it reads is among 0 to 1023.
One difficulty in this project is to display the value on the screen, which is actually easy to learn.
First, you need to set the baud rate in voidsetup (). Displaying the value is a communication between Arduino and PC, so the baud rate of the Arduino should match the one in the PC's software set up. Otherwise, the display will be messy codes or no display at all.
In the lower right corner of the Arduino software monitor window, there is a button for baud rate set up. The set up here needs to match the one in the program. The statement in the program is Serial.begin(); enclosed is the baud rate value, followed by statement for displaying. You can either use Serial.print() or Serial.println() statement.

6.Test Result
The Sample Code uses the built-in LED connected to pin 13. Each time the device reads a value, the LED blinks. When you rotate the potentiometer knob, you can see the displayed value change. The reading of analog value is a very common function since most sensors output analog value. After calculation, you can get the corresponding value you need. Below figure shows the analog value it reads.
The experiment is now completed. Thank you!

Project 17: 1-digit LED Segment Display
1.Introduction
LED segment displays are common for displaying numerical information. It's widely applied on displays of electromagnetic oven, full automatic washing machine, water temperature display, electronic clock, etc. It is necessary for us to learn how it works.
2.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- 1-digit LED Segment Display*1
- 220Ω Resistor*8
- Breadboard*1
- Breadboard Jumper Wires *several
- USB cable*1
3.The display principle of the 1-digit LED Segment Display
LED segment display is a semiconductor light-emitting device. Its basic unit is a light-emitting diode (LED).
LED segment display can be divided into 7-segment display and 8-segment display according to the number of segments. 8-segment display has one more LED unit ( for decimal point display) than 7-segment one.
According to the wiring method of LED units, LED segment display can be divided into common anode display and common cathode display. Common anode display refers to the one that combine all the anodes of LED units into one common anode (COM).
For the common anode display, connect the common anode (COM) to +5V. When the cathode level of a certain segment is low, the segment is on; when the cathode level of a certain segment is high, the segment is off.
For the common cathode display, connect the common cathode (COM) to GND. When the anode level of a certain segment is high, the segment is on; when the anode level of a certain segment is low, the segment is off.
Each segment of the display consists of an LED. So when you use it, you also need to use a current-limiting resistor. Otherwise, LED will be burnt out.
In this experiment, we use a common cathode display. As we mentioned above, for common cathode display, connect the common cathode (COM) to GND. When the anode level of a certain segment is high, the segment is on; when the anode level of a certain segment is low, the segment is off.
4.Circuit Connection
Connection for V4.0
Connection for 2560
5.Sample Code
There are seven segments for numerical display, one for decimal point display. Corresponding segments will be turned on when displaying certain numbers. For example, when displaying number 1, b and c segments will be turned on. We compile a subprogram for each number, and compile the main program to display one number every 2 seconds, cycling display number 0 ~ 9. The displaying time for each number is subject to the delay time, the longer the delay time, the longer the displaying time.

Project 18: 4-digit LED Segment Display
1.Introduction
In this experiment, we use an Arduino to drive a common cathode, 4-digit, 7-segment LED display.
For LED display, current-limiting resistors are indispensable.
There are two wiring methods for Current-limiting resistor. One is to connect one resistor for each cathode end, 4 in total for d1-d4 cathode. An advantage for this method is that it requires fewer resistors, only 4. But it cannot maintain consistent brightness, 1, the brightest; 8, the least bright.
Another method is to connect one resistor to each pin. It guarantees consistent brightness, but requires more resistors.
In this experiment, we use 8 Resistors (220Ω). We use 220ΩResistors because of no 100Ω resistor available. If you use 100Ω, the displaying is more brighter.
2.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- 4-digit LED Segment Display*1
- 220Ω Resistor*8

3.The display principle of the 4-digit display

- 1 * 8*8 Dot Matrix
- 8 * Resistor (220Ω)
- 1 * Breadboard
- 1 * USB Cable
- Several* Jumper Wires
3.The display principle of the 8*8 dot-matrix
The external view of a dot-matrix is shown as follows
The 8*8 dot-matrix is made up of sixty-four LEDs, and each LED is placed at the cross point of a row and a column. When the electrical level of a certain row is 1 and the electrical level of a certain column is 0, the corresponding LED will lighten. If you want to light the LED on the first dot, you should set pin 9 to high level and pin 13 to low level. If you want to light LEDs on the first row, you should set pin 9 to high level and pins 13, 3, 4, 10, 6, 11, 15 and 16 to low level. If you want to light the LEDs on the first column, set pin 13 to low level and pins 9, 14, 8, 12, 1, 7, 2 and 5 to high level.

Project 20: 1602 LCD
1.Introduction
In this experiment, we use an Arduino to drive the 1602 LCD.
1602 LCD has wide applications. In the beginning, 1602 LCD uses a HD44780 controller.
Now, almost all 1602 LCD module uses a compatible IC, so their features are basically the same.
2.1602LCD Main Parameters
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- Display capacity 16 * 2 characters
- Chip operating voltage 4.5 ~ 5.5V
- Working current 2.0mA (5.0V)
- Optimum working voltage of the module is 5.0V
- Character size 2.95 * 4.35 (W * H) mm
3.Pin description of 1602 LCD
4.Interface Description
- 1.Two power pins, one for module power, another one for back light, generally use 5V. In this project, we use 3.3V for backlight.
- 2.VL is the pin for adjusting contrast ratio. It usually connects a potentiometer(no more than 5KΩ) in series for its adjustment.
- In this experiment, we use a 1KΩ resistor. For its connection, it has two methods, namely high potential and low potential. Here, we use low potential method; connect the resistor and then the GND.
- 3.RS is a very common pin in LCD. It's a selecting pin for command/data. When the pin is in high level, it's in data mode; when it's in low level, it's in command mode.
- 4.RW pin is also very common in LCD. It's a selecting pin for read/write. When the pin is in high level, it's in read operation; if in low level, it's in write operation.
- 5.E pin is also very common in LCD. Usually, when the signal in the bus is stabilized, it sends out a positive pulse requiring read operation. When this pin is in high level, the bus is not allowed to have any change.
- 6.D0-D7 is 8-bit bidirectional parallel bus, used for command and data transmission.
- 7.BLA is anode for back light; BLK, cathode for back light.

Project 21: Servo Control
1.Introduction
Servomotor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor. For this lesson, we will introduce servo to you.
2.Working Principle
The MCU outputs a signal to the servomotor. The motor has a built-in reference circuit that gives out reference signal, cycle of 20ms and width of 1.5ms. The motor compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference. The IC on the circuit board will decide the rotate direction accordingly and drive the core-less motor. The gear then pass the force to the shaft. The sensor will determine whether it has reached the commanded position according to the feedback signal.
Servomotors are used in control systems that require to have and maintain different angles. When the motor speed is definite, the gear will drive the potentiometer to rotate. When the voltage difference reduces to zero, the motor stops. Normally, the rotation angle range is among 0-180 degrees.
Servomotor comes with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange (different brand may have different color).
Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal line.
The rotation angle of the servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of the PWM(Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of the PWM signal is 20ms（50Hz）. Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms. The width corresponds the rotation angle from 0° to 90°. But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotating angle.
With some basic knowledge, let's learn how to control a servomotor. In this experiment, you only need a servo motor and several jumper wires.
3.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- 9G Servo Motor*1
- Breadboard Jumper Wire*3
- USB cable*1
Connection & Sample Code
There are two ways to control a servomotor with Arduino.
One is to use a common digital sensor port of Arduino to produce square wave with different duty cycle to simulate PWM signal and use that signal to control the positioning of the motor.
Another way is to directly use the Servo function of the Arduino to control the motor. In this way, the program will be more easier but it can only control two-contact motor because of the servo function, only digital pin 9 and 10 can be used.
The Arduino drive capacity is limited. So if you need to control more than one motor, you will need external power.
4.Method 1
Connection for V4.0
Connection for 2560 R3
Connect the motor to digital pin 9.
Compile a program to control the motor to rotate in the commanded angle, and display the angle on the screen.
Sample Code A
/*
keyestudio super learning kit
Project 21.1
servo
http//www.keyestudio.com
*/
int servopin=9;// select digital pin 9 for servomotor signal line
int myangle;// initialize angle variable
int pulsewidth;// initialize width variable
int val;
void servopulse(int servopin,int myangle)// define a servo pulse function
{
pulsewidth=(myangle*11)+500;// convert angle to 500-2480 pulse width
digitalWrite(servopin,HIGH);// set the level of servo pin as “high”
delayMicroseconds(pulsewidth);// delay microsecond of pulse width
digitalWrite(servopin,LOW);// set the level of servo pin as “low”
delay(20-pulsewidth/1000);
}
void setup()
{
pinMode(servopin,OUTPUT);// set servo pin as “output”
Serial.begin(9600);// connect to serial port, set baud rate at “9600”
Serial.println("servo=o_seral_simple ready" ) ;
}
void loop()// convert number 0 to 9 to corresponding 0-180 degree angle, LED blinks corresponding number of time
{
val=Serial.read();// read serial port value
if(val>='0'&&val<='9')
{
val=val-'0';// convert characteristic quantity to numerical variable
val=val*(180/9);// convert number to angle
Serial.print("moving servo to ");
Serial.print(val,DEC);
Serial.println();
for(int i=0;i<=50;i++) // giving the servo time to rotate to commanded position
{
servopulse(servopin,val);// use the pulse function
}}}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
5.Method 2
Let's first take a look at the Arduino built-in servo function and some common statements.
1. attach（interface）——select pin for servo, can only use pin 9 or 10.
2. write（angle）——used to control the rotate angle of the servo, can set the angle among 0 degree to 180 degree.
3. read（）——used to read the angle of the servo, consider it a function to read the value in the write() function.
4. attached（）——determine whether the parameter of the servo is sent to the servo pin.
5. detach（）—— disconnect the servo and the pin, and the pin (digital pin 9 or 10) can be used for PWM port.
Note the written form of the above statements are " servo variable name. specific statement ()", e.g. myservo. Attach (9).
Still, connect the servo to pin 9.
Sample Code B
/*

Project 21.2
servo
http//www.keyestudio.com
*/
#include <Servo.h>
Servo myservo;// define servo variable name
void setup()
{
myservo.attach(9);// select servo pin(9 or 10)
}
void loop()
{
myservo.write(90);// set rotate angle of the motor
}
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Above are the two methods to control the servo. You can choose either one according to your liking or actual need.

Project 22: Stepper Motor
1.Introduction
A stepper motor is an electromechanical device which can convert electrical pulses into discrete mechanical movements. The shaft or spindle of a stepper motor rotates in discrete step increments when electrical command pulses are applied to it in the proper sequence. The motors rotation has several direct relationships to these applied input pulses. The sequence of the applied pulses is directly related to the direction of motor shafts rotation. The speed of the motor shafts rotation is directly related to the frequency of the input pulses and the length of rotation is directly related to the number of input pulses applied.
One of the most significant advantages of a stepper motor is its ability to be accurately controlled in an open loop system. Open loop control means no feedback information about position is needed. This type of control eliminates the need for expensive sensing and feedback devices such as optical encoders. Your position is known simply by keeping track of the input step pulses.
2.Hardware Required
- V4.0 Board or MEGA 2650 Board*1
- Stepper Motor*1
- Stepper Motor driver*1
- Jumper Wire *1
- USB cable*1
3.Features
- •The rotation angle of the motor is proportional to the input pulse.
- •The motor has full torque at standstill(if the windings are energized)
- •Precise positioning and repeatability of movement since good stepper motors have an accuracy of – 5% of a step and this error is non cumulative from one step to the next.
- •Excellent response to starting/stopping/reversing.
- •Very reliable since there are no contact brushes in the motor. Therefore the life of the motor is simply dependant on the life of the bearing.
- •The motors response to digital input pulses provides open-loop control, making the motor simpler and less costly to control.
- •It is possible to achieve very low speed synchronous rotation with a load that is directly coupled to the shaft.
- •A wide range of rotational speeds can be realized as the speed is proportional to the frequency of the input pulses.

Project 31: Soil Humidity Sensor
1.Introduction
This is a simple soil humidity sensor aims to detect the soil humidity. If the soil is lack of water, the analog value output by the sensor will decrease; otherwise, it will increase. If you use this sensor to make an automatic watering device, it can detect whether your botany is thirsty so as to prevent it from withering when you go out. Using the sensor with Arduino controller makes your plant more comfortable and your garden smarter. The soil humidity sensor module is not as complicated as you might think, and if you need to detect the soil in your project, it will be your best choice. The sensor is set with two probes inserted into the soil, then with the current go through the soil, the sensor will get resistance value by reading the current changes between the two probes and convert such resistance value into moisture content. The higher the moisture (less resistance) is, the higher conductivity the soil has. The surface of the sensor have undergone metallization process to prolong its service life. Insert it into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind of you I need water.
