A look at the state of Arduino in the past, present and future with applications covering the Internet of Things and the Arduino community in Minnesota ( Arduino.MN ). I did this presentation at our Hackfest in July of 2014. Details at http://arduino.mn

1. The State of Arduino
A look at the past, present and future

2. What is it?
Single board Microcontroller
8-bit Atmel AVR or 32-bit Atmel ARM
UNO offers 6 analog input pins
14 digital I/O pins
Initial release in 2005

3. Where did it come from?
Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea,
Italy
Looking for a cheaper solutions for
their students
Built the platform using open source
tools in less than a year
I was hooked after my first program

4. Sample of Boards
Mega
Uno
Due
LilyPad Total of 16 official boards produced...

5. Why is it popular?
Easy - Programmed based on a language called Wiring
Cheap - clones can now be bought for $9 or less
Low energy - .1 watt
Durable - fanless, little to no heat
Open source - schemas are all online and free
Makes it excellent for prototyping!

6. Where to Start?
Arduino Inventor’s Kit
Arduino UNO
LEDs
Motors / Servos
Buttons / Switches
Sensors

7. Components
LED Resistors Transistor
Servo Piezo Element Potentiometer

8. Components
DC Motor Push Button Photo Resistor
Ethernet Shield LCD Shield WIFI Shield

9. Examples
Blink
Distance
Photocell
Temperature

10. Blink

11. Distance

12. Photocell

13. Temperature

14. Internet of Things
Term goes back 1999
Born from areas of M2M, but now connections are online!
Increased in popularity as NFC, Bar/QR Codes evolved
ABI estimates 30 billion connected devices by 2020
Devices are connected by BLE, Wifi (6LoWPAN), Cellular
Driven by lower costs of Sensors, HW Networks and Cloud

15. Internet of Things
Environmental Monitoring - Atmospheric Conditions
Infrastructure Management - Repair & Safety
Industrial Applications - Productivity
Medical and Healthcare - Healthy Living
Building / Home Automation - Convenience & Power Saving
Transportation Systems - Safety

16. Internet of Things
Lots of measurement today. Final stage of IoT is where the
network adjusts and takes action
Still in the early days, but IoT is happening today! Look at
your power meter and manufacturing companies
Consortiums are forming today with Google, Intel, Microsoft
Number of cloud and hardware companies are being
acquired by larger players.

17. Internet of Things
Billion dollar companies are being started in garages and at
user groups today.
Security
Cloud
Software & Middleware
Sensors

18. Arduino and IoT
Partnerships with Intel SoC
( Galileo Project )
IoT is all about measuring
things. Arduino is positioned
to help everyone do this.
