Learn Arduino UNO Basics - Test & Measurement

Recording of our webinar "Test & Measurement with Arduino". In this Elektor webinar, Clemens explains why the Arduino UNO board is a useful board for simple test & measurement applications.

Most modern test and measurement instruments are nothing more than a microcontroller supported by special signal processing circuits and a nice display.

The @Arduino UNO board too is based on a microcontroller and features analog and digital inputs. It can therefore be used at the heart of a measurement instrument. Even if it lacks special signal processing circuits, it can be very useful in many situations where signals are not superfast or where ultrahigh precision is not required. Instead of investing in an expensive all-singing, all-dancing oscilloscope, it is often enough to write a few simple sketches, learn a few tricks, and know your way around a spreadsheet.
