MKR1000 Introduction

What is it:

An Arduino microcontroller with a bunch of wifi connected project.

It has a built in wifi-module which is great for sending sensor datato the cloud, controlling devices and streaming live readings.

It can also connect to custom IoT Blynk, Cloud, and other custom APIs.

-> Expand on how it works and all the elements.

The pins:

1. Analog Pins -> Measures a range of Voltages. Eg: How far you’ve turned a knob Etc
   • AREF -> Analog Reference -> Defines what voltage counts as “Full scale”. Is used for more precise measurements since it can output an almost infinitely precise measurement? It uses 1024 bits since the ADC has a 10 bit limit.
2. Digital Pins -> Measures only HIGH and LOW -> HIGH = Voltage present and LOW = voltage not present
3. Power Pins -> Just manage the input output and the power supply
   • VCC -> Voltage at the Common Collector -> Main positive power supply
   • VIN -> Voltage In -> 5-6 V max if not using USb, goes through a regulator
   • GND -> Just pushing black people to the Ground and circuits too in some cases
4. Serial Pins -> Stream of bits sent over a link.
   • TX -> Transmit Dataout
   • RX -> transmit data in
5. Other
   • Reset pin
   • SWD (Research)

2.0 Basic Arduino Shtuff

Today’s quick session: A Micro-win

After establishing wifi capabilities on Arduino, program the output to move a motor

Its a lot more complex then i initially thought.
