Introduction

Introduction
Arduino is a prototype platform (open-source) based on an easy-to-
use hardware and software. It consists of a circuit board, which can
be programed (referred to as a microcontroller) and a ready-made
software called Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment),
which is used to write and upload the computer code to the physical
board.

Minimum Code

Minimum Code

setup : It is called only when the Arduino is powered on or


reset. It is used to initialize variables and pin modes
loop : The loop functions runs continuously till the device is
powered off. The main logic of the code goes here.

Minimum Code

PinMode
A pin on arduino can be set as input or output by using pinMode
function.
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // sets pin 13 as output pin
pinMode(13, INPUT); // sets pin 13 as input pin

Reading/writing digital values


digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Makes the output voltage on pin
13, 0V
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Makes the output voltage on pin
13, 5V
int buttonState = digitalRead(2); // reads the value of pin 2
in buttonState

Important Commands

Important Commands
delay(ms): pauses the program for the amount of time (in millisec-
ond)specified as parameter.

The code pauses the program for one second before toggling the
output

serial: used for communication between the arduino board and a


computer or other devices. It communicates on digital pins 0 (RX)
and 1 (TX)as well as with the computer via USB. Thus, if you use
these functions, you cannot also use pins 0 and 1 for digital in/out 6/8
Important Commands

serial.begin(bits/second): sets the data rate in bits per second (baud)


for serial data transmission. For communicating with the computer,
use one of these rates: 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400,
19200, 28800, 38400, 57800, or 115200. you can, however, specify
other rates -for example, to communicate over pins 0 and 1 with a
component that requires a particular baud rate.

serial.prinln(val): prints data in a new line to the serial port as human


readable text. The command takes the same forms as serial.print()

Libraries

What are Libraries?


Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy to connect to a
sensor, display, module, etc. For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal
library makes it easy to talk to character LCD displays. There are
many libraries available on the Internet for download.
How to use them?
