Hardware
In this course we do training and coding on an embedded system which is targeted interfacing to the real world.
We have decided to use an Ardunio based on the MEGA architecture
Some of you are very experienced in Arduinos - others not - so let's all help each other.
Its easy to use so we can have focus on teh course stuff
Cheap :-)
We suggest an Arduino MEGA or an Arduino UNO and maybe a sensor package
NB: WE will not use all sensors in the sensor kits given below but the price is so low so better buy a kit and have a box for the sensors
| MEGA | UNO | ||
| memory | 8 kB | 2 kB | (RAM) |
| flash | 256 kB | 32 kB | (for program code) |
| serial ports | 4 | 1 | (for communication) |
| MHz | 16 | 16 | (speed) |
Some images giving pin configuration here.
you can also use ESP32, M5Stack but the course then you are little bit more on your own.
ESP32 or M5Stack can have som advantages because they have blutetooth and wifi
Where to buy
 |
Some links. |
Where at what to buy of sensors and actuators
You can buy a sensor kit like this one or this one
Then you need some jumper wired and some breadboard
 |
A mini breadboard. Dont buy it too small |
 |
and jumper wires. |
As long as you retain this notice you can do whatever you want with this stuff on these pages.
If we meet some day, and you think this stuff is worth it, you can buy me a beer in return :-)
