Micro SD Shield –Data Logger Shield for Arduino Running out of memory space in your Arduino project? The microSD Shield equips your Arduino with mass-storage capability, so you can use it for data-logging or other related projects. Communication with microSD cards is achieved over an SPI interface. The SCK, DI, and DO pins of the microSD socket are broken out to the ATmega168/328's standard SPI pins (digital 11-13), while the CS pin is broken out to Arduino's D8 pin. If you decide to use one of the many open source FAT libraries (like FAT16 or SDFat) make sure to change the code to reflect the location of the CS pin. Most libraries assume the CS pin is connected to D10; this will have to be changed to D8. Also for the libraries to work pin D10 will have to be set as an output in the 'setup()' section of your sketch. The shield also includes a large prototyping area with a 13x12 grid of 0.1" pitch PTHs. This shield comes populated with a microSD socket, red power indicator LED, and a reset button; but it does not come with headers installed. We recommend the 6 and 8-pin stackable headers. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9802
XBEE Module and XBEE Shield for Arduino This is the very popular 2.4GHz XBee module from Digi (formally Maxstream). These modules take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported. The XBee Shield simplifies the task of interfacing an XBee with your Arduino. This board mates directly with an Arduino Pro and equips it with wireless communication capabilities using the popular XBee module. This unit works with all XBee modules including the Series 1 and Series 2.5, standard and Pro version. The serial pins (DIN and DOUT) of the XBee are connected through an SPDT switch, which allows you to select a connection to either the UART pins (D0, D1) or any digital pins on the Arduino (D2 and D3 default). Power is taken from the 5V pin of the Arduino and regulated on-board to 3.3VDC before being supplied to the XBee. The shield also takes care of level shifting on the DIN pin of the XBee. The board also includes LEDs to indicate power and activity on DIN, DOUT, RSSI, and DIO5 pins of the XBee. The Arduino's reset button is brought out on the shield, and a 12x11 grid of 0.1" holes are available for prototyping. The shield does not come with headers installed; we recommend the 6 and 8-pin stackable headers. The XBee module is also not included. http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=9841 http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8664 http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8665

Arduino-Digital Output Digital Out put is defined as sending on/off or 0/1 signals from one of the digital pins on the Aurduino board (pin 2-13) to the electronic actuator that recognize on/off or 0/1 signal. The so-called digital pins are highlighted here.
Arduino-Digital Output-LED LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a light feature that can be used as an actuator of the space. Being a Diode, an LED is a directional piece meaning that it is activated only if it is placed in the circuit in the right direction Ground Pin Digital Pin
Arduino-Ground Pin For electricity to flow in a circuit, we need difference in level of electricity energy. In Arduino board this difference is provided by making a circuit between one of the output pins and ground pin. When we send a signal through output pin any signal that is not 0 or LOW will provide the desired difference between the two ends of the circuit and will result in electricity flow between the digital output pin and ground pin- The level of electricity energy at Ground pin is zero, as a result any non zero signal on the digital pin gives us a difference and an electricity flow. You can also create this situation using two output pins, one sending the low signal and one sending a high signal. The low signal pin in this case will function as the ground.
Arduino-Digital Output-LED LEDs come in different colors and shapes.
Arduino-Digital Output-LED void setup(){ pinMode(13, OUTPUT); } void loop(){ digitalWrite(13, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(13, LOW); delay(1000); }
Arduino-Compiling and Uploading Code • Write the code • Compile the code • Check Arduino Port Connection • Upload the Code • The Arduino and Connected Circuits start to show behavior based on the uploaded code
Arduino-Digital Output-LED The Board should be connected to the computer in order to upload the program from arduino environment to the board. Once the program is uploaded, if there is no realtime data being communicated between the board and the program there is no need for the board to be connected any more. Thus you can change the power to Ext(external Power) as opposed to USB(power from USB) and use a battery or a power adaptor to power the board. In the case of the LED exercise since after uploading there is no data being communicated between the board and the computer, you can disconnect the piece and make it a independent disconnected piece.

Arduino-Using SolderlessBreadboard For example this is how an LED can be connected to an Arduino board using a solderless breadboard. The red dotted line shows the flow of electricity from the digital output pin to LED and then ground pin.
Arduino-Using SolderlessBreadboard Using a Solderless breadboard does not make that much of sense if we are only connecting one LED to the board with one in and one out wire connected to it. It is best suited when we want to have multiple elements connected to one or multiple pins. For example what if we want to control multiple LEDs from one digital output pin on Arduino board?
Arduino-Connecting Multiple Actuators to Single Output Pin-Serial Connection Ground Pin Digital Pin In Serial connection, adding more electricity consuming elements results in weaker electricity flow. In case of Arduino Board adding more than three High intensity LEDs will result in so weak an electricity flow that the LEDs will not turn on Also, in Serial connection, disconnecting any element of the connection-i.e. disconnecting one of the LEDs will result in breaking the circuit and as a result electricity will stop flowing and the whole circuit will not work anymore
