Arduino Programming: EAS 199A, Fall 2010, Lecture 5 Gerald Recktenwald Portland State University Gerry@me - Pdx.edu

This document provides an overview and introduction to Arduino programming. It discusses the Arduino development environment, basic code components like the setup() and loop() functions, and how to write, compile, upload and run code on an Arduino board both while tethered to a computer and in stand-alone mode. It also references tutorials and documentation about the Arduino language and lists common variable types and digital input/output functions used in Arduino code.

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 3


Basic Process

Design the circuit:


❖ What are electrical requirements of the sensors or actuators?
❖ Identify inputs (analog inputs)
❖ Identify digital outputs
Write the code
❖ Build incrementally
‣ Get the simplest piece to work first
‣ Add complexity and test at each stage
‣ Save and Backup frequently
❖ Use variables, not constants
❖ Comment liberally

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 10


Code Structure: Header

Header provides information.


Later, it will also contain code

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 11


Code Structure: setup function

setup function is executed


only once at the start

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 12


Code Structure: loop function

loop function is
repeated indefinitely

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 13


Code

pinMode(13, Output)
prepare pin 13 for
outputs of voltage

Digital I/O Functions:


pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 14
Code

digitalWrite(13, HIGH)
Sets pin 13 to voltage
that means “on”

Digital I/O Functions:


pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 15
Code

delay(1000);
tells microcontroller to do
nothing for 1000 ms = 1 s

Digital I/O Functions:


pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 16
Code

digitalWrite(13, LOW)
Sets pin 13 to voltage
that means “off”

Digital I/O Functions:


pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 17
Arduino Variable Types

int Integer values: 1, 2, 3, -4, 7234


float Values with non-zero fractional part, 7 digits
double Currently the same as a float. Normally a
double stores values with non-zero fractional
part, 15 digits
char Character values: ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘D’, ‘1’
boolean True or false values

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A 18


Using variables and functions

Assigning values: Defines the variable name as red_LED_pin

int red_LED_pin = 5;
Defines the variable type as an integer
Uses the value stored in red_LED_pin

pinMode( red_LED_pin, OUTPUT );


calls the function named “pinMode”
HIGH and OUTPUT are pre-defined constants

digitalWrite( red_LED_pin, HIGH );


calls the function named “digitalWrite”
