EEE 202 – Circuits I
Lab 5 Arduino
Lab 5 Arduino
Reference Resource (optional):
Practical Electronics for Inventors, Paul Scherz and Simon Monk, 2016, ISBN 978-1-25-958754-2
Arduino is Open-Source Code and Content, and Support are available via the website:
https://www.arduino.cc/
TinkerCAD Tutorials for Simulation are available via the website:

Lab Overview:
In preparing for the final design project, you’ll need to get familiar with using a microcontroller and LCD display
for automation. Sparky Solar really wants to be a lead innovator in their field, which is why they’ve come to
ASU (tops in innovation). Automation is a cutting-edge trend that will distinguish their products and services
from their competitors. The use of an Arduino (or equivalent) board system will allow you to build automation
into the final design project.
Automation is a huge field of advancement today to yield higher safety and awareness of everyday objects.
This can exist in terms of digital or analog applications; where digital means that a value is either 0 or 1,
mimicking the theory of digital logic seen in modern microcontrollers. Analog sensors however have a range of
values that can indicate different situations for different values. In this lab, you will learn how to incorporate
digital and analog sensors and control an LCD display. An important outcome of this lab is to familiarize
yourself with the Arduino hardware and sensor uses and see the potential of future automation of everyday
applications. For each part of this lab, you are expected to demonstrate the working circuit to the lab grader by
taking screenshots as requested in the Data Sheet.
