First contact with Arduino

This thursday we started with Arduino and fritzing.  

Arduino is a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible. The hardware consists of an open-source hardware board designed around an 8-bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, or a 32-bit Atmel ARM.

Fritzing is an open source software initiative to support designers and artists ready to move from physical prototyping to actual product. It was developed at the University of Applied Sciences of Potsdam.


We started with some basics and simple scripting. The first task was to make an electric circuit and to get some lights working. We connected the hardware with the computer with the help of the Arduino software. After that we learned about Fritzing and how we can explore the Arduino stuff in a digital way (Fritzing helps you to test things without the danger of making mistakes).


We also imitated a traffic light system with 3 RGB lights. They glow after a certain order (scripting).
