“…A wide range of experiments and solutions are shown where sensors and the Arduino platform are used to teach physics efficiently and attractively while the cost is kept very low [1][2][3][4][5]. Sensors have an output (voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance) that can be handled by electronics.…”

The Arduino platform is widely used in education of physics to perform a number of different measurements. Teachers and students can build their own instruments using various sensors, the analogue-to-digital converter of the Arduino board and code to calculate and display the result. In several cases this can mean incautious reproduction of what can be found on the Internet and an indepth understanding can be missing. Here we thoroughly analyse a frequently used resistance measurement method and show demonstration experiments as well to make it clear. Construction of the OhmmeterA wide range of experiments and solutions are shown where sensors and the Arduino platform are used to teach physics efficiently and attractively while the cost is kept very low [1][2][3][4][5]. Sensors have an output (voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance) that can be handled by electronics.Since an analogue-to-digital converter (A/D converter, ADC) has voltage input, some circuitry is needed to convert the sensor's output into voltage that fits in the input range of the ADC. Like in any measurement, a reference is required. The Arduino board's ADC accepts an input voltage in the range from 0 V to VREF, where VREF is the reference voltage. Digital sensors incorporate all of these plus a digital data interface.The simplest way to measure resistance is to build a voltage divider which has an output voltage that depends on the unknown resistance, see figure 1. This is the common method applied in Arduino Ohmmeter projects published on the Internet.

The rapid evolution of intelligent electronic devices makes information technology, computer science and electronics strongly related to the teaching of natural sciences. Today almost everybody has a smart phone that can convert light, temperature, movement, sound to numbers, therefore all these can be processed, analysed, displayed, stored, shared by software applications. The fundamental question is how education can follow this knowledge and how can education take its advantages. Components and methods of modern technology are available for education also, teachers and students can play with parts and tools which were previously used only by engineers. A good example is the very popular Arduino board which is practically an industrial microcontroller whose pins are wired to easy-to-use connectors on a printed circuit board. In this paper we show a universal system which we have developed for the Arduino platform to support experimenting and understanding of the most fundamental principles of the operation of modern devices. We show our related educational concept and discuss the most important features of the system. Open source hardware and software are available and we provide a number of video tutorials as well.

“…The introduction of experimental methodologies for data acquisition using the computer represents a viable alternative for exploration and statistical analysis of data in physics classes. The use of computers and microcontrollers has become increasingly integrated into Physics teaching activities, considering that the experiments conducted by these technologies become more attractive to students compared to classes in the traditional model (ATKIN, 2018;DWORAKOWSKI, et al, 2016).…”

PHYSICS TEACHING COMBINED WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES (RTD): the contributions of the Arduino platform in the classroom

This study aimed to identify the literary production on the use of the Arduino platform as a digital technological resource (RED) for teaching physics concepts in high school. This is an exploratory study carried out in databases of recognized scientific journals in the areas of teaching and exact sciences. From the survey of 32 works that were characterized by the scope of this study, fourteen articles stood out that brought the results of experimental projects developed for the teaching of scientific concepts with the help of Arduino. The results of these studies indicated that the use of this RED in the development of experimental activities in the classroom, in addition to providing autonomy and the development of the student's scientific, critical and creative thinking, also proved to be a technologically viable and economically sustainable resource for low cost, but with quality and versatility equal to or greater than commercial options.
