Description: Set Up The Software For The Arduino IDE and Write A Program That Blinks The LED Embedded Supplies

This document provides instructions for installing the Arduino IDE software and writing a basic blinking LED program. It describes downloading and running the Arduino IDE installer, then writing code to blink an LED on pin 13 of an Arduino Uno board by turning the pin on for 1 second and off for 1 second repeatedly using delay statements in the loop function. The code for the blink program is included.

Project:

Arduino IDE install, and Blink Program

Description: Set up the software for the Arduino IDE and write a program that blinks the LED embedded
in the Arduino Uno board.

Supplies:

• Arduino Uno
• Arduino Uno USB cable

Constructs:

• Statements

Steps to install IDE (only for personal computers):

• Download the Arduino IDE from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software Note that you do


not need to donate in order to download the IDE.
• Run the installer
• On Windows machines it will give you a list of install options, make sure that you install the USB
driver, the Arduino software, and associate .ino files.


Program description:

• Write a program that blinks the embedded LED located on digital pin 13 on the board every
second.
• In the setup() function, you will need to set pin 13 to output using the pinMode function.
• In the loop() function, you will need to do the following steps:
o turn the LED on (using digitalWrite)
o wait for a second (using delay)
o turn the LED off
o wait for another second
• To run the program, first click the check mark in the upper left hand corner to make sure that
the code compiles. (Alternatively, you can use the menu and choose Sketch → Verify/Compile)
• Next, if the code compiles, click the arrow to upload the code. (or use the menu to choose
Sketch → Upload)
• If your code compiles, but does not upload to the board there could be one of several issues:
o Go to the menu and choose Tools → Board and select Arduino Uno.
o Select a different serial port by going to Tools → Port and selecting the port associated
with the Arduino Uno.
o Unplug and re-plug in the Arduino

The code for the blink program is below. You can either add this code into your Arduino IDE, or you can
copy-and-paste from the website.


/*
Blink
Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

This example code is in the public domain.


*/

// Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards.


// give it a name:
const int LED = 13;

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:


void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:


void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
