DOWNLOADING ARDUINO IDE

Maker UNO requires Arduino software to run. You can download the software from Arduino
website (http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software) and it is free to use.

Arduino IDE is compatible with Windows, Mac OS X and also Linux. You just need to choose
the appropriate operating system installation package for your computer.

*Note: If you are a Windows user, it is recommended that you choose Windows (installer).

SETTING UP

| 7

Choose the installer that compatible with your laptop OS and download the Arduino IDE.
You will have arduino-1.8.x-windows.exe software after nish downloading for Windows OS
user while for Mac OS user, you will get a zip le of arduino-1.8.x-macosx zip le as shown
below :

*Note: For latest version of Arduino IDE, go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

Double-click on the icon to install Arduino IDE. Complete the download, proceed with the
installation as usual. After nish installing the software, you can start using it by double-click
on the icon. Then, you will see this layout of Arduino IDE.

LED is a light emitting diode. It will light up when a proper
voltage is applied in correct direction.

You will see status of “Done Uploading”if
everything is correct your LED at pin 7 will light up.

The void setup() runs once when the Maker UNO
is powered on. The code in the void setup() usually
use to congure the pin as INPUT or OUTPUT
using pinMode();

The void loop() runs continuously after the void
setup() has complete. The code in the void loop()

usually use to control the INPUT and OUTPUT.
The digitalWrite(); is used to set the digital

OUTPUT of the pin number to HIGH or LOW

The digitalWrite(7, HIGH); digital pin number 7
is set to HIGH which is to turn ON the LED while
the digitalWrite(7, LOW); digital pin number 7 is
set to LOW which is to turn OFF the LED.

The delay(); is a function to make the Maker UNO
execute anything for the time set in miliseconds.
1000 is equal to 1second.

LESSON 2

LESSON 3 :
FADE AN LED

LESSON 3 :
FADE AN LED(IDE)

i

The LED will fade using analogWrite() function using
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which make a digital
output acting as analog output.

Write this code to your sketch :

int LED = 3;
int brightness = 0;
int fadeAmount = 5;

void setup()

}

void loop()

{
analogWrite(LED, brightness);
brightness = brightness + fadeAmount;
if (brightness <= 0 || brightness >= 255)
{

The analogWrite() function uses PWM, so if
you want to change the pin you're using, be
sure to use another PWM capable pin. On most
Arduino, the PWM pins are identied with
a "~" sign, like ~3, ~5, ~6, ~9, ~10 and ~11.

The analogWrite(LED, brightness); set OUTPUT
of the pin number 3 to variable “brightness”. The
LED will light up based on the amount of variable
“brightness”.

LESSON 4 :
PUSH BUTTON (DIGITAL INPUT)

LESSON 4 :
PUSH BUTTON (IDE)

i

Push button act as a digital input device. Maker UNO
is able to sense 2 states for digital input, i.e. HIGH and
LOW. Push the button and the LED will turn ON!

Write this code to your sketch :

int LED = 4;
int Button = 2;

}

void loop()

{
if (digitalRead(Button) == LOW)

You will see status of “Done Uploading” if
everything is correct, when button is pressed, the

LED pin 4 will light up.

1

Using pinMode(INPUT_PULLUP), there is an
internal 20K-ohm resistor is pulled to 5V. This
conguration causes the input to read HIGH when
the switch is open, and LOW when it is closed.

The if() statement is use to compare a condition
whether it is TRUE or FALSE.
The else if() statement is use to set other condi­tion than if() statement.
The digitalRead(Button) == LOW); will read the
button input. If the button is pushed, the INPUT
will be LOW.

The Serial.begin(); open a serial communication
between the Maker UNO and the computer. 9600
is the baud rate of the comunication. The serial
monitor must use the same baud rate to view the
information.

The Serial.print(); sends information from Maker
UNO to the connected computer. The information
will be in the serial monitor.

The Serial.println(); sends information from
Maker UNO to the connected computer. The infor­mation will be in the serial monitor and print out
line by line.

PROJECT 1
INTERACTIVE TRAFFIC LIGHT

INTRODUCTION

Interactive Trac Light is a combination of standard trac light for
vehicles and trac light for pedestrian.

This project applies knowledge outcome from:

Lesson 1: Light Up LED
Lesson 4: Push Button as Digital Input

INGREDIENTS

a. Maker UNO - 1x
b. Breadbord - 1x
c. Red LED - 2x
d. Green LED - 2x
e. Yellow LED - 1x
f.

Resistor 220Ω - 5x

g. Jumper wires

INSTRUCTION

By using all the parts above, create a simple trac light system for a pedestrian
crossing. Normally, the trac light is green. But when the push button is pressed,
the light will switch to yellow for two seconds, then to red. After 1 more second,
the green pedestrian light will light up for 5 seconds, then turns back to red.
After 1 more second, the trac light turns green again.

PROJECT 2
LIGHT THEREMIN

INTRODUCTION

A theremin is an instrument that makes sounds based on the move­ments of a musician’s hands around the instrument. This project will
use LDR as an input where the amount of light intensity will deter­mine the melody notes.

This project applies knowledge outcome from:

Lesson 3: Create Melody with Piezo
Lesson 8: Light Dependent Resistor

INGREDIENTS

a. Maker UNO - 1x
b. Breadboard - 1x
c.

Resistor 10kΩ - 1x

d. LDR - 1x
e.

Jumper wires

INSTRUCTION

Using all the parts above create an instrument that creates melody played by
piezo depends on your hand position. The closer your hand is to the LDR, the
higher the notes produced. When you withdraw your hand, no sound will be
generated. So, enjoy the melody you create!

Note: To calibrate the sensor, move your hand up and down over the LDR for 5

seconds to change the amount of light that reaches it. The closer you replicate
the motions you expect to use while playing the instrument, the better the
calibration will be.
