What is Arduino?
 Arduino is a ATMEL 168 micro-controller kit designed specially for
small projects
 User friendly IDE(Integrated Development Environment)
 USB connection with serial communication
 Open source programs available
 Built in ADC
 Easy to use platform with most of the functions provided on board

Why Arduino?
 Arduino has multiple inbuilt features and acts as a
combination of 10 bit analog to digital converter(ADC),
storage and microprocessor.
 Arduino comes up with its own software for analyzing,
processing and calculation of unknown parameters.
 It provides a facility to write programs, compile them
and program the microcontroller all by itself.
 It can take 6 analog inputs and a time and process all of
them without any difficulty.
 There are 2 digital 8 pin ports available and they can be
used for interfacing with LCD, LEDs, to drive an other
circuit and so on.
Sample programs
• ADC – Analog to Digital
Converter
 Takes analogue input from
Potentiometer
 Converts 0-5V analog
signal to 0-1023 Digital
values
 Displays it on screen using
serial communication
 Displays it on 16x 8 LCD
Analog to Digital Converter
• CODE :
• void setup() {
• Serial.begin(9600); //begin serial communication with
computer
• }
• //void loop runs continuously on µc
• void loop() {
• int sensorValue = analogRead(A0); //reads analogue pin
A0
• Serial.println(sensorValue, DEC); //prints it on serial
monitor
• }

CODE:
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
•
•
•
•
void setup() {
lcd.begin(16, 2); // set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.print("hello, world!"); // Print a message to the LCD.
}

•
•
•
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
lcd.print(millis()/1000); // print the number of seconds since reset:

Frequency calculation for square wave
 Firstly, a square wave is generated using a
555(timer circuit).
The values of R,C are adjusted such that the
frequency of output is
close to 60Hz.
This square wave signal is given to one of the
analog pins of Arduino.
Code for the frequency calculation is written,
verified and programmed using the Arduino
software.
The calculated frequency is displayed in the serial
monitor of the software or using an LCD.

Live frequency estimation by Arduino
The live power signal of 230V magnitude is
stepped down by a transformer to 3V.
This AC signal of 3V is then fed to one of the
analog pins of Arduino.
Arduino microcontroller is able to read the input
only during its positive half cycle.
A set of 250 samples of this sinusoidal wave is
taken by the kit which has a sampling time
interval of .112ms.
 As per the traditional zero cross-over method,
the frequency of the live signal is calculated.

Taking all samples of the live signal
 Since , the Arduino cannot be fed with an AC signal of high
magnitude, the signal is first brought to an AC wave of 6V
magnitude using a step down transformer.
 This wave is given to the inverting pin of 741 Op-Amp IC using a
variable resistor such that the output due to this signal alone is 2V.
 A dc voltage is fed to the non inverting pin of 741 so that the output
due to this signal alone is 3V.
 This sinusoidal non AC signal varies from 0V to 5V.
 This signal is finally given to one of the analog pins of the Arduino.
 Analog-serial-input code is programmed into Arduino and samples
of the signal can be seen in the serial monitor every 1 ms.

Limitations of Arduino
 Calculations of very high frequency signals is not
possible using Arduino as the sampling rate of ADC is
low.
 The input signal must be non AC and must posses a
magnitude of less than 5V.
 Heavy mathematical functions like inverse
trigonometry, modulus
• operation, complex equations cannot be performed by
the Arduino software.
