Mission briefing
In the first part of the project, we will discuss programming the Arduino for the first time, and in the second half, we will look into the control of a Weasley weather clock. We will also look into the Raspberry Pi AlaMode , stackable add-on arduino hardware (http://wyolum.com/projects/alamode/).
Why is it awesome?
Arduino is an open source microcontroller development platform based on the Atmel series of microcontrollers. It has brought engineers, artists, and students to the same table. The programming interface (programs are written in C/C++ usually) is so simple and this was the sole reason that made the platform so popular. Hence, it is widely used for prototyping in product development.
Over the years, there have been several hardware add-ons that aided in hardware development using the Arduino. Some of these add-ons can be stacked on top of the Arduino development platform, and they are commonly referred to as shields. There are shields for medical devices, interfacing...
