Learn Programming and Electronics with Arduino

Mar 31, 2017

This lesson covers three easy ways to implement some form of acceleration in your Arduino sketches.

It will cover the following:

  1. Linear Acceleration
  2. Exponential Acceleration
  3. Messing Around with the Square Root function

What is Acceleration?

Acceleration is the rate of change of something over time.  Acceleration...

Discussion:

In this lesson, we're going to discuss two very special functions that you will use in every single Arduino sketch that you write.  They're called Setup and Loop.

Specifically, we’ll cover:

  • How Setup Operates and the type of code that it executes
  • How Loop Operates and the type of code that it...

Discussion:

In this lesson, we're going to do an overview of functions.  This will be just a general discussion to lay out a framework for understanding how functions work and how we can use them.

More specifically, we'll be talking about:

  • Function Calls
  • Function Parameters
  • Passing Arguments
  • Different Ways Functions...

Discussion:

We're going to explore some of the specific data types you'll encounter as you begin to program with Arduino.  We’ll tackle data types in more detail, to include:

  • Integer and Integer Qualifier
  • Long
  • Float
  • Byte
  • Boolean
  • Character

Data Types Recap

Let's review what we’ve learned in previous units.  We...
