Follow along as I share my workflow for turning an idea into an Arduino sketch for a functional prototype. This process helps add structure to an amorphous task, especially for beginners.
For this circuit, I used the following supplies:
- Arduino Uno
- USB cable
- Membrane keypad
- Aphanumeric display
- 3x 10mm LEDs (green, yellow, red)
- 3x 220 ohm resistors
- Solderless breadboard
- Prototyping wires
- Proto shield
- Computer running Arduino software
- Multimeter
- Eye protection
- Soldering iron and solder
- Wire strippers
- Flush cutters
- Helping third hand tool
The process (watch the video above to hear more about each step):
- Define your purpose
- Classify inputs and outputs
- Write pseudocode
- Test hardware with sample code
- Create your new program
- Make incremental improvements
