Physical Computing is quite different than writing software for personal computers where the only physical inputs are the Mouse and Keyboard. With Arduino you can connect and control literally hundreds of different devices, and write software that creates new Intelligent Devices. We can see how this goes together here:
SENSOR INPUTS: On the left are examples of some of the Input Devices you can connect.ACTION OUTPUTS: On the right are examples of Output Devices you can control.SOFTWARE BEHAVIOR: Here is where you write software (called SKETCHES in Arduino) that makes decisions about what things are sensed with Input Devices, and what actions will be taken with the Output Devices. This may be as simple as sounding a buzzer when a switch is closed.The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
- An EDITOR to create and edit the text of your software Sketch. It actively highlights Keywords in the language so typing errors are more obvious.
- A VERIFY system that runs th
This is the free software you will use to create the Behavior of your project. Here's what it includes:
