Construcción de 5 módulos didácticos para conectar y controlar las entradas y salidas de Arduino desde Matlab : construcción de los módulos didácticos.

Abstract

This project aims to develop 5 didactic modules to connect and control Arduino inputs and outputs from Matlab, so that students learn the importance of linking the programming language, digital electronics and microprocessors. Students will identify each input and output element (digital and analog) as: temperature sensor (LM35), potentiometers, motors, light emitting diode (LED), sirens, Arduino module, photoresistor, among others. In the design component of the didactic modules to connect and control the inputs and outputs of Arduino from Matlab, the plans for the construction of the modules are shown, where the dimensions are identified, the layout of the space in which all the module devices. In addition, the design of the printed circuit (PCB). This project focuses on the construction of the didactic module from the plans elaborated in the aforementioned component. In the construction stage, the material is specified and the PCB board is made, which facilitates the distribution of the connection of the power supplies and each input and output device, as well as the Arduino board. The didactic modules work in two ways: connection of Matlab with Arduino and only the Arduino module. In the first way of working, Arduino is connected via the Universal Serial Bus (USB), which allows data transfer from Matlab to the Arduino board gantries. In the second way of working, the programming code is loaded into the Arduino microcontroller, which allows controlling the inputs and outputs without the need to connect to Matlab. Guide sheets were created that provide clear and detailed instructions on how to use the modules and perform experiments in the laboratory. These guide sheets allow students to familiarize and develop skills about Arduino and Matlab.
