A compact picture guide to the Aarambh kit, PC power, USB cable, Hardware Hub, firmware, and pin map.
- Name the main parts in the kit
- Explain that the Arduino gets power from the PC USB cable
- Open Hardware Hub and connect the serial port
- Use the basic Aarambh Hub pin map safely
Simple theory before projects: what AI inputs mean, what hardware sensors read, why stages are locked, and how this book should be used.
- Tell the difference between AI inputs and hardware sensors
- Read the locked stage path in the Brain pane
- Understand that default code is given for each stage
- Use the book as a picture-led project guide
Use the locked Project 1 path: D13 LED stays fixed, while stages use Face wizard, Hand wizard, Face block, and Face code.
- Wire or identify the D13 LED output
- Run Stage 1 Smile Power with FACE input
- Run Stage 2 Palm Power with HAND input
- Understand the same ON/OFF idea in Wizard, Block, and Code modes
Use face, hand, ultrasonic, LDR, and IR signals to control the diya LED, RGB colours, and buzzer.
- Wire the diya, RGB module, ultrasonic sensor, LDR, IR sensor, and buzzer
- Run the seven locked Chamatkari Diya stages in order
- Use Hardware Hub with the preinstalled Arduino firmware
- Read the default code names for sensor and AI combo stages
Make the buzzer respond to smile rules and then combine face input with the D2 push button.
- Wire buzzer D5 and push button D2
- Run two FACE wizard stages
- Build the smile threshold block
- Read the default smile plus button code
Use locked HAND stages to control red, yellow, and green traffic LEDs.
- Wire red D13, yellow D3, and green D4 traffic outputs
- Use HAND wizard stages
- Build PALM, THUMB_UP, and FIST traffic rules
- Read the default traffic code loop
Use YOGI body posture input with RGB and buzzer feedback.
- Use YOGI body input
- Connect RGB D9-D11 and buzzer D5
- Read posture score and slouch logic
- Complete all four block-led stages
Combine ultrasonic distance and FACE emotion to control a virtual room and RGB LED.
- Wire ultrasonic sensor D7/D12 and RGB D9-D11
- Use FACE and HARDWARE inputs together
- Build sonar plus mood logic
- Run the default Aura Room code
A software-only racer with three locked stages and five possible inputs in the final code stage.
- Run a no-hardware mission
- Use FACE to steer in wizard and block modes
- Read the final multi-input code stage
- Know that this project has three stages, not four
Use HAND input to control the DC motor on D6.
- Wire the motor module to D6
- Use HAND wizard stages
- Build hand presence to motor speed logic
- Read the default D6 PWM code
Use HAND gestures to play tabla sounds, with optional buzzer output on D5.
- Use HAND input for sound triggers
- Know that buzzer D5 is optional hardware sound output
- Run one wizard and three block stages
- Build gesture-to-sound mappings
Graduation project: FACE and HAND control the servo gate on D9.
- Wire the servo motor to D9
- Use FACE and HAND together
- Control the gate in wizard, block, and code modes
- Finish the Mission Aarambh graduation project
