CS 362 - Computer Design

Labs - Fall 2019

Information about Arduinos and the Arduino Development Platform

To get full marks for the lab, you will need to do 2 things:

1. Submit your Arduino code file (.ino file) to Gradscope
2. Demo you Arduino to one of the TA's

Note: The times for lab is not enough time for you to build the lab project (do the wiring, write the code) during the 50 minute lab period. Thus is it assumed that you will start your lab before the lab period and you are just demoing your lab project during the 50 minute lab period.

If you need help in getting your lab project working, you can see the TA's during the lab time or at a TA's office hours.

Lab 7 - Due Monday 10/21/19

• CS_362_Lab_7.pdf
• This lab requires the use of 2 Arduinos.
  • So you may partner with another person for this lab.
  • If you have access to a second Arduino, you may do this lab on your own.
• https://iotguider.in/arduino/serial-communication-between-two-arduino-boards/
  • Note the code in this example is different on each Arduino.
  • The lab EXPLICITLY states the two Arduinos must be running the same code.
  • So make sure each push-button and led are wired up the same (using the same pins) for each Arduino.
  • Also make sure the two Arduinos are sharing the same GROUND!
  • Another discussion of this protocol (plus other Arduino protocols)
