INTRODUCTION

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating

interactive objects or environments.

In this presentation we are going to learn about Arduino Mega

LETS START 1.  Arduino Mega

2.   Arduino environment (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)

3.   Arduino programming language (based on Wiring http://wiring.org.co/)

4.   Standard-B plug USB cable

http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Howto

Types of USB connectors left to right (ruler in centimeters): Micro-B plug, UC-E6 proprietary (non-USB) plug, Mini-B plug, Standard-A receptacle (upside down), Standard-A plug,

Standard-B plug

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW

1.  Arduino Shield (GSM, WiFi, Ethernet etc)

2.   Arduino Libraries (You can add more libraries to Library folder)

3.   How do I make one (http://arduino.cc/blog/category/schematics/)

4.   Android (http://labs.arduino.cc/ADK/Index)

5.   OUTPUT == 1, HIGH == 1

6.   INPUT == 0, LOW == 1

7.  Analog value (PWM wave) [between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on) ]
