Slide 1:	Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on Introduction to Arduino.
Slide 2: Learning objectives The Arduino device Features of Arduino Components of Arduino board Microcontrollers and Installation of Arduino IDE on Ubuntu Linux OS	In this tutorial, we will learn about: The Arduino device Features of Arduino Components of Arduino board Microcontrollers and Installation of Arduino IDE on Ubuntu Linux OS
Slide 3: System Requirements	To record this tutorial I am using: Arduino UNO Board Ubuntu Linux 14.04 operating system Arduino IDE
Slide 4: Pre-requisites Basic knowledge of Electronics	To follow this tutorial, you should have basic knowledge of Electronics.
	This is the Arduino board. The Arduino UNO board is one of the popular variant of Arduino project. It contains ATMEGA328 microcontroller, Digital input/output pins, Analog input pins and USB power adapter. USB power adapter can be used for programming the board.
	This is the microcontroller. It can be found in many electronic devices - from portable music device to washing machines and cars.
Slide 5: What is Microcontroller ?	What is a microcontroller? A microcontroller is a mini computer. It contains a CPU (central processing unit), memory, system clock and peripherals. Microcontroller is dedicated to perform only one task and execute one specific application at a time.
Slide 6 to 9: Show image Example where microcontroller are used * Printer Car Traffic signal Motion Detector	We will see a few examples where a Microcontroller is used. It is used in: Printers Cars Traffic signals and Motion Detectors
	Next we will see some of the features of Arduino.
Slide 10: Arduino IDE	Arduino IDE is an open-source software. It is easy to write code and upload it to the physical board. It is very easy to learn the programming language with its inbuilt functions. It runs on Windows, Mac OSX and Linux This software can be used with any Arduino board.
	Next we will see how to install Arduino IDE.
Go to the website: www.arduino.cc. Point to the download link.	To do the installation, go to the website: www.arduino.cc. Click on the Download link.
Point to various links	There are various links to download Arduino for Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems.
Point to the version	At the time of recording this tutorial, we have Arduino version 1.6.9 The version may vary in the future.
Point to Windows for non admin install	I'll recommend to install “Windows for non admin install” for Windows OS.
Click on Linux 64-bit	Now I will demonstrate how to install Arduino on Linux OS. I'll click on the Linux 64bit link because my machine architecture is 64 bit.
	Click on Linux 32-bit or 64-bit based on your system architecture.
Click Just Download >> Click on Save File.	Click on Just Download. A dialog box opens. Click on Save File. It will take sometime to download. Wait until it completes.
Point to the zip file	In my Downloads folder, the downloaded zip file is available. Extract the files from the Zip folder.
	Now let us launch the Arduino IDE from the Terminal.
Open the terminal. Press CTRL+ALT+T	Press CTRL +ALT + T to open the Terminal.
Type, >>cd Downloads	Go to the Downloads directory by typing cd Downloads.
Type >>ls	Type ls to see the Arduino folder name.
Highlight the arduino Version	Here, in my system it shows Arduino 1.6.9.
Type >> cd arduino 1.6.9	Now change the directory to Arduino 1.6.9. Type cd arduino 1.6.9
Type >> ls	Type ls to see the list of files available.
Point to the files	In this folder, we have various files related to Arduino IDE compilers such as: Arduino backend files configuration files
Type: ./arduino	Now, let us run the arduino executable file. For this, type: dot slash arduino and press Enter to launch the Arduino IDE.
	We can see the Arduino IDE window.
	I have connected Arduino to the USB port of my computer. Let us check the connection.
Click Tools	Click on the Tools menu. This shows that Arduino UNO board is already selected.
Click on Port >> Point to the port number	In the Port menu, we can see a port number.
	Let me close the Arduino IDE.
Click File >> Close	Click File and Close.
Slide 11 Installation of Arduino in Linux sudo apt-get install arduino	Another way to install Arduino in Linux OS is by using the apt hyphen get command in the Terminal. Enter the sudo password when prompted.
	This brings us to the end of this tutorial. Let us summarise.
Slide 12 Summary	In this tutorial, we learnt about: The Arduino device Features of Arduino Components of Arduino board Microcontrollers and Installation of Arduino IDE on Ubuntu Linux
Slide 13: About Spoken Tutorial project	The video at the following link summarises the Spoken Tutorial project. Please download and watch it.
Slide 14: Spoken Tutorial workshops	The Spoken Tutorial Project team:* conducts workshops using spoken tutorials and gives certificates on passing online tests. For more details, please write to us.
Slide 15: Forum for specific questions:	Do you have questions in THIS Spoken Tutorial? Please visit this site Choose the minute and second where you have the question Explain your question briefly Someone from our team will answer them
Slide 16 Forum for specific questions:	The Spoken Tutorial forum is for specific questions on this tutorial Please do not post unrelated and general questions on them This will help reduce the clutter With less clutter, we can use these discussion as instructional material
Slide 17: Acknowledgement	Spoken Tutorial Project is funded by NMEICT, MHRD, Government of India. More information on this mission is available at this link.
	This tutorial has been contributed by FOSSEE and Spoken Tutorial Project, IIT Bombay. Thanks for watching.
