Lab 1 - The Artemis Board

Parts Needed:

  • 1 x SparkFun RedBoard Artemis Nano
  • 1 x USB A-to-C cable
  • 1 x Li-Ion 3.7V 500mAh battery

Video and Code Demonstration:

  1. Blink it up: the following video shows the board blinking its builtin LED.
  1. Serial: the following video shows the working Serial port.
  1. AnalogRead: the following video shows that the board’s temperature increases after hot hair is blown onto it.
  1. MicrophoneOutput: the following video shows that the highest frequency changes as I speak!
  1. Whistling: I added a loop in the previous code file to blink the board when it hears a whistle.
         if (ui32LoudestFrequency > 2500)
         {
             digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);
             Serial.printf("WHISTLE\n");
             }
         else {
             digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);
             }
    

    This video shows that the board blinks when a whistle is detected.

This video shows that the above still works when the board is unplugged from the computer (using battery).
