Arduino Notes

  • The total current amperage than can be drawn from an Arduino is 200mA, and it is best not to have more than 20mA going across each pin to power a device. see πŸ™ˆ

General Notes

  • Arduino source files / programs are referred to as sketches sketches are generally saved in the below location

General Electronics

Definitions

  • Logic level - is a set voltages at which a device communicates. A common logic level is 5V, and newer logic levels work at 3.3V and 1.8V
  • PWM Pulse Width Modulation - is used for Digital to Analog signal
    • PWM - Examples
      • the brightness of an LED
      • to vary the speed of the fan

Analog to Digital Converters

LED's

  • LED’s are directional the shorter pin goes to GND.
