Atal Tinkering Lab Package 1 (P1) - Electronics Development, Robotics, Internet of Things, and Sensors

The Atal Tinkering Lab Package 1 (P1) is a comprehensive kit designed for students and enthusiasts to explore the world of electronics development, robotics, Internet of Things (IoT), and sensors. This package includes a range of components and modules, allowing users to build and program innovative projects.

Components Included:

Microcontroller Board (e.g., Arduino Uno or equivalent)
 Breadboard and Jumper Wires
 LEDs, Resistors, and Capacitors
 Sensors (Light, Temperature, Ultrasonic)
 Robotics Modules (Motor Driver, DC Motors)
 IoT Modules (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth)
 Power Supply and Battery Holder

Code Examples:

### Example 1: LED Blinking using Arduino Uno

In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the Microcontroller Board (Arduino Uno) to blink an LED on and off.

Hardware Requirements:

Arduino Uno Board
 LED
 Resistor (220)
 Breadboard and Jumper Wires

Code:
```c
const int ledPin = 13;  // Pin 13 for LED

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  // Set LED pin as output
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // Turn LED on
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);  // Turn LED off
  delay(1000);  // Wait for 1 second
}
```
Explanation:

We define the LED pin as digital output pin 13.
 In the `setup()` function, we set the LED pin as an output using `pinMode()`.
 In the `loop()` function, we use `digitalWrite()` to turn the LED on and off with a 1-second delay between each state.

### Example 2: Temperature Sensor using DS18B20

In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the Temperature Sensor (DS18B20) to read temperature values.

Hardware Requirements:

DS18B20 Temperature Sensor
 Breadboard and Jumper Wires
 Microcontroller Board (Arduino Uno)

Code:
```c
#include <DS18B20.h>

DS18B20 ds18b20(2);  // Pin 2 for DS18B20

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int tempC = ds18b20.getTemperature();
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(tempC);
  Serial.println(" C");
  delay(1000);
}
```
Explanation:

We include the DS18B20 library.
 We define the DS18B20 object, specifying Pin 2 as the data pin.
 In the `setup()` function, we initialize the serial communication.
 In the `loop()` function, we use the `getTemperature()` function to read the temperature value in Celsius and print it to the serial monitor.

### Example 3: Wi-Fi Connectivity using ESP8266

In this example, we will demonstrate how to use the IoT Module (ESP8266) to connect to a Wi-Fi network.

Hardware Requirements:

ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module
 Microcontroller Board (Arduino Uno)
 Breadboard and Jumper Wires

Code:
```c
#include <WiFi.h>

const char ssid = "your_wifi_ssid";  // Replace with your Wi-Fi SSID
const char password = "your_wifi_password";  // Replace with your Wi-Fi password

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to Wi-Fi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to Wi-Fi");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
  // Your IoT project code here
}
```
Explanation:

We include the WiFi library.
 We define the Wi-Fi SSID and password.
 In the `setup()` function, we initialize the serial communication and connect to the Wi-Fi network using `WiFi.begin()`.
 We use a `while` loop to wait until the Wi-Fi connection is established.
 Once connected, we print the IP address to the serial monitor.
 In the `loop()` function, you can add your IoT project code to interact with the Wi-Fi connection.

These examples demonstrate the versatility of the Atal Tinkering Lab Package 1 (P1) and its components. By combining these modules and sensors, you can create innovative projects in electronics development, robotics, IoT, and sensors.
