Seeeduino XIAO the Smallest Arduino, Getting Started Tutorial, Pinout, specifications, & Arduino IDE

in this episode you will learn about the smallest arduino seed we know shell in this tutorial i will cover the extreme basics before i am going to use this smallest arduino in some beginners level intermediate level and advanced level projects in this tutorial we will cover number one seed video shower technical specifications number two pin out number three seed we know shell arduino ide board manager installation and finally number four some basic example quotes to help you get started with the smartest arduino c dredo xiao we will cover the serial communication blinking analog sensor interfacing for controlling the on and off time delay of the led and some other example quotes available in my article you can find a link in the description without any further delay let's get started [Music] the components and tools used in this video can be purchased from seed studio and amazon the components purchase links are given in the description this is the smallest arduino seed we know shell it is an arduino microcontroller that is embedded with the samd 21 microchip the first most prominent thing that you will notice about the seed we know is its very small size when compared with arduino uno and arduino nano and is claimed to be the smallest member of the seed we know family seed we know shall carries the powerful cpu arm cortex m0 plus is a mg 21g 18 which is a low power arduino seed microcontroller know shell is ideal for the variable devices and small diy projects the seed we know shell has a total of 14 gpio pins which can be used for 11 analog pins 11 digital pins one iscsi interface one uart interface and one spi interface some pins have various functions a1 or d1 to a10 or t10 pins have pwm functions and pin a0 or t0 has a function of digital to analog converter which means you can get true analog signals not pwm signals when you define it is an analog pin that's 514 gpr pins can realize more io pins and interfaces [Music] do all pins on seed we know shia supports interrupts but two pins can not be used at the same time pin 5 and pin seven moreover seed we know shell supports the usb type c interface which can supply power and download code there are power plates at the back of the seed we know which supports battery and make it designed for variable devices to become realistic you need to be careful while using the seed we know xiao is all the i o pins are 3.3 volt do not input more than 3.3 volt otherwise the cpu may be damaged for the 5 volt sensors and breakout ports you can use a voltage level converter seed we know xiao is perfectly compatible with the arduino ide to program this arduino shell using the arduino ide you will need to install the cdno shear board while the arduino ide is open copy this url link which is available in the description click on the file menu and then click on the preferences you can directly paste this url or if you have already added some urls then all you need is simply put a comma and then paste the url finally click on the ok button click on the tools menu go to ports and then click on the ports manager search for the seed vino and install the latest version this may take several minutes depending on the speed of your internet connection [Music] the seed we know board is installed and now i can click on the close button again click on the tools menu go to boards and check if the cd we know show port is added as you can see the seat we know shower port is available as you can see the port is disabled which means the seat window is not connected with the laptop let's go ahead and connect the seat window with the laptop as you can see now the port is enabled and the seed we know sure is installed on the comp7 click to select this port after selecting the port now the next step is to select the cdno shower board now you can see the seed we know shea board is selected and also the communication port is selected now let's write a very basic program that sends the high message to the serial monitor using the serial communication now let's control and led the anode leg of the led is connected with the seed we know pin number 10 and the cathode leg is connected with the ground pen this is a very basic led blinking program the purpose of this code is to turn on and turn off the led i'm using a one second delay i have already uploaded this program let's watch this basic program in action this time i added a potentiometer with the analog pin a2 of the screen while the led connection remains the same in this example the potentiometer is used as the sensor which is used to control the delay time you can use any type of the analog sensor for the 5 volt sensors don't forget to add the voltage level converter the purpose of this program is to control the on and off time delay of the led using the potentiometer i have already uploaded this program let's watch this basic program in action from these examples you know the seed we know shell is just like the arduino uno very soon i will use the seed when in some intermediate and advanced level projects support me on patreon for more videos i hope you liked today's episode like and share this video with your friends see you in next episode and thanks for watching
