“How could this owl, who was born in captivity, lived his whole life in a cage, how could he possibly survive? He's going to be dead in a few days. That's what everybody thought.” – Christine Mott In February 2023, a Eurasian eagle-owl named Flaco made headlines—and captured hearts—when he escaped from his small enclosure at the Central Park Zoo. Born in captivity and unable to fly or hunt, Flaco defied every expectation. In just weeks, he taught himself to soar across the Manhattan skyline, hunt for his own food, and live as freely as an owl could in a city of concrete and glass. For more than a year, New Yorkers spotted him perched in Central Park, on high-rises, even outside apartment windows—cheering him on as a symbol of resilience and freedom. Today’s guest, attorney and lifelong animal advocate Christine Mott, has immortalized Flaco’s story in her new children’s book, Free Bird: Flaco the Owl’s Dreams Take Flight . Told from Flaco’s perspective, the book celebrates courage, hope, and the right of all animals to live free—without cages or confinement—while gently encouraging young readers to see captivity through an animal’s eyes. This conversation is about Flaco’s extraordinary journey, the lessons he left behind, and how one small owl sparked big changes for animals in New York and beyond.

Discussion:

Before we can start diving into programming the microcontroller on the Arduino, we need to have a solid understanding of the tools used to make it happen. Therefore, in this particular lesson, we're just going to do an overview of what you'll learn in this familiarization module.

As the name implies, this module will get you familiar with the software and hardware tools used throughout this course and beyond. More specifically, this section will cover:

The Arduino IDE Version Used in This Course
How to Download, Install, and Set Preferences
The Arduino IDE Itself
The Arduino Board
The Arduino Toolchain

First, however, I want to explain how best to learn the objectives of this and any other module. There are several things provided in each lesson that can help you be more successful as you move through the course.

Obviously, you need to become familiar with the Arduino software and hardware. In addition to this, each lesson has accompanying videos, challenges, and further reading suggestions. Take advantage of these, and you'll easily rock this course!

Get to Know Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

In the beginning of this module, we'll discuss administrative items regarding the version of the Arduino IDE used here. Then, I'll walk you step-by-step through downloading and installing the Arduino IDE. We'll also talk about setting up some of the preferences.

Once we have it installed, then we'll get familiar with the Arduino IDE itself - some of the buttons, tabs, and that type of thing. Afterwards, we'll take a close look at the Arduino board hardware. Finally, we'll do an overview of the Arduino toolchain.

Even if you already have the Arduino IDE installed, and even if you have already been creating programs with it, I still say it's a great idea to watch the videos in this section. There might be a couple of things that can help expand your knowledge of the IDE and the hardware - maybe even some tricks or tips that you've not seen before.

Doing the Challenges is the Key to Growth

Check out the challenges at the end of each lesson. This lesson will not have challenges since it is just an introduction to the module.

However, most lessons will have programming challenges after the lesson discussion. These will help cement in your mind the concepts taught in that lesson, as well as offer more ways for you to practice your newly acquired skills.

Practice and repetition will help your grow your knowledge base. By diligently doing the challenges, you'll get some real programming and electronics experience under your belt.

Also, pay close attention to the further reading section. It will contain links that will point out other tutorials and helpful online resources online.

Of course, don't feel like you have to read every linked article. If there's a resource that I feel is exceptionally helpful, I'll make sure to make a note of it in the further reading section.

Enjoy this module!

3 Ways to Use Acceleration in an Arduino Sketch 17:37

לפני 8 years17:37

17:37

This lesson covers three easy ways to implement some form of acceleration in your Arduino sketches. It will cover the following: Linear Acceleration Exponential Acceleration Messing Around with the Square Root function What is Acceleration? Acceleration is the rate of change of something over time. Acceleration would help describe things like: Have fast can a stopped car get to 88mph? If I do a wing-suit jump from the top of Mount Everest, how fast will I be when I am gliding over base camp? How can I gently slow down the movement of a mechanical servo before it comes to rest? We can implement acceleration when programming Arduino quite easily with just a couple lines of code. The basic concept is that a variable will need to change - how it changes over the course of the sketch is what we are interested in. Below are three examples of how we can code change in variables so they display acceleration. Linear acceleration Linear acceleration is a constant rate of change. It can be represented by a sloped line on an x-y axis. A simple way to use it is to increment or decrement a variable every time through a loop like below... for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { //accel gets increasingly smaller as for loop continues accel = accel - 100; }//close for You can see in the code above, that each time through the 'for loop', the accel variable is decreasing by 100. If accel started at 1000, this is what accel would look like with respect to the number of iterations of the for loop. You can see that the accel variable decreases at a set rate over time in a linear fashion. Exponential Acceleration Exponential acceleration changes over time too, but it does so more dramatically (It's basically a drama queen). At first the rate of change in the variable is small, but once it begins to increase it really takes off! You can use the power function built into the Arduino IDE to make a variable change exponentially. The power function syntax is quite easy. pow( base, exponent ) The parameter base is the number that get raised to the power of the exponent . Like 2 to the 5th power. Below is an example of how you might code it to change a variable exponentially over the course of a 'for loop'. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { //accel grows exponentially as the for loop continues accel = pow(2, i); }//close for Looking at a chart of accel over the course of the 'for loop', we can see that the way it changes is much different than linear acceleration: The theme for exponential growth is that is starts out slow, but once it starts going it really get's going! Using the Square Root Function for Acceleration The square root function can also provide some flavor to the output from your Arduino. It's syntax is simple: sqrt( x ) It returns the square root of the number or variable that you put in the parenthesis. Below is an easy way to use it in a 'for loop': for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) { //accel quickly decreases through the loop accel = sqrt(accel); }//close for Let's look at how accel changes over the course of the for loop(let's say it started at 10,000): You can see the a rapid deceleration in the value of the accel variable of the 'for loop'. Practice With Acceleration: If you want to take a look at what these types of acceleration will do in "real" life, then set up the circuit below. You Will Need: (10) LEDs (10) 220 Ohm Resistors (1) Jumper Wire Arduino Board Bread Board Black Marker Set Up The Circuit: Start by by placing one resistor at pin 2 on your Arduino. Connect the other end of the resistor to the breadboard and then connect the long leg of the LED to the resistor. Place the short leg of the LED in the outer ground rail of the bread board. Then add 9 more resistors and LEDs across - you should stop at Pin 11 on the Arduino. Then add a jumper wire from GND on the Arduino to the shared ground on the breadboard. (All LEDs not pictured). That is pretty much it for the circuit. Below are the code examples for the different ways to program acceleration that we talked about: Here is the code for the linear acceleration: /* Linaer ( Constant ) Acceleration The circuit: * LEDs from pins 2 through 11 to ground created 2006 by David A.

The idea of adding acceleration to a sketch can seem a bit intimidating at first, but as you can see, it turns out to be a rather simple addition of code. Try on Your Own Challenge: Can you make the fade amount of an LED accelerate/deccelerate? Can you add a potentiometer to the circuit above and find a way to control the amount of acceleration - either linear, exponential or otherwise.…
