* Interfacing to hardware http://www.arduino.cc/playground/

== Curriculum ==

=== Week 1 - Intro/Assembly===

* Introduction
* Assemble your Freeduino:
** INSTRUCTIONS: http://mcukits.com/2009/03/12/assembling-the-freeduino-board-kit/
** verify values of resistors and capacitors (see charts in Practical Electronics for Inventors)
** check polarity (+/-) on capacitors, LEDs
** care with soldering
* Download and install Arduino 0015 software: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
* Assignment: Assembled, functioning Freeduino, communicating with computer, able to upload test sketches, before next class.
* NOTE: We have a newer, beefier processor than the original Arduino. You need to tell the Arduino software this.
** (if you had problems uploading, this may have been why)
**In the Arduino software, under Tools->Board, select the Duemilanove w/ Atmega 328.

=== Main Board ===

Many different options. All share a common programming environment, common code, and a similar physical layout. The board we are using does not require an external USB adaptor, which means all we need to do to program (and power) it is to plug it into the computer with a USB cable.

Here are some of the variants:

*Arduino
** Arduino Duemilanove http://moderndevice.com/diecimila.shtml
* Freeduinos

the pocket piano: http://www.critterandguitari.com/home/store/arduino-piano.php

This is a portable music synthesizer that creates a wide variety of notes. It is a circuit board that plugs directly into the arduino, making it a self-sustained musical instrument. The board uses four potentiometers, a number of resistors and capacitors, as well as four timers. The buttons on the top of the board that are the keys of the piano correspond to different notes within its range of two octaves. The potentiometers control the pitch and rhythm of the notes. Although this is not my exact plan for my final project (as it is already someone's project), but I would like mine to be similar.
