Sunny with a Chance of Servos: Solar-Powered Arduinos
Gfroerer, Tim; Adenew, Michael; Williams, Ella
Physics Teacher, v60 n9 p724-726 Dec 2022
The Arduino microcontroller is finding its way into labs throughout undergraduate physics curricula, from introductory courses to a variety of beyond-the-first-year laboratory classes. At Davidson College, they use Arduinos in a gateway STEM course for students who are interested in energy and the environment. This article describes how students learn to build simple circuits and write the accompanying Arduino code to control the temperature in solar-powered model buildings.
