Programming, Serial and Virtual Prototyping

This document discusses programming and serial communication with Arduino. It introduces Arduino code and serial communication basics like using pins 0 and 1 for transmission and reception. It provides examples of using serial communication to send messages, debug with print statements, and troubleshoot circuits by reading digital pins. The document also mentions moving from breadboards to printed circuit boards using Fritzing and allows free time at the end for questions.

if ( You like semicolons ) { Stay here for intro to Arduino code } else { Join the MODKit group for GUI code }

Serial Communication
Serial Communication is the transferring and receiving of information between two machines, the Arduino dedicates pin # 0 to receiving information and pin 1 to transferring information

Serial in Setup

Serial Monitor

Serial Communication

Serial Activity with Circuit 7


Communication Troubleshooting circuits Debugging Code

Serial Communication: Serial Setup


void setup ( ) { Serial.begin ( 9600 ) ; }
In this case the number 9600 is the baudrate at which the computer and Arduino communicate

Serial Communication: Sending a Message


void loop ( ) { Serial.print ( Constructivism & ) ; Serial.println ( Mechatronics ) ; }

Serial Communication: Serial Debugging


void loop ( ) { int xVar = 10 ; Serial.print ( Variable xVar is ) ; Serial.println ( xVar ) ; }

Serial Communication: Serial Troubleshooting


void loop ( ) { Serial.print ( Digital pin 9 reads ) ; Serial.println ( digitalRead ( 9 ) ) ; }

Serial Communication: Circuit 7 code


void loop ( ) { buttonState = digitalRead(inputPin); if (buttonState== HIGH){ digitalWrite (ledPin, LOW) } else { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);

Serial.print (button state is ); Serial.println ( buttonState );


} }

Fritzing
Now that you feel comfortable putting together circuits with your breadboard lets talk about how to go from the breadboard to a PCB

Free Time
The rest of the class is dedicated to free pursuit Do whatever you like and an instructor will help you with any questions or problems you may have, this includes questions about personal projects using Arduino Thank you for attending our Intro to Arduino class
