Experiment 2

This document discusses different conditional structures that can be used in Arduino programming such as IF, ELSE, WHILE, and FOR statements. It provides examples of how to use these structures to control an LED by turning it on and off based on different conditions. Finally, it presents exercises for students to create programs that utilize these conditional structures and control LED patterns in various ways.

Laboratory Activity 2

COE 5
Conditional Structure

IF Statements

ELSE Statements

WHILE statements

FOR statements

Combinations and Arrays


IF Statement
Control structures allows one to select which code is to be executed
and also allow codes to be executed multiple times. The if statement is
the first control structure.

absence of const make it a global


variable w/ a start value of 1000

value of delay is changed by subtracting


100 from its original value 1000

if the delay time is less than or equal to 0


then the delay time is set back to 1000

turns the LED on and off. However,


instead of using a fixed number, a
variable is used
ELSE Statement
IF statement can have an ELSE clause which declares a new condition
if the IF statement is not true.

done if the delay time is


less than or equal to 100

this is done otherwise,

Note: IF or ELSE statement/code


shall be done but NEVER both
WHILE Statement
A while statement is just like an if statement except it continues to
repeat a block of code (within the curly braces.) as long as the
condition is true.

allows the LED to blink FASTER


WHILE Statement cont… allows the LED to blink SLOWER
FOR Statement
A FOR loop allows a block of code to be executed some number of
times

statement 1 condition statement 2 (i = i + 1)-(++ means increment)


Combinations
There are ways were one can combine logical conditions
Exercise 1: Basic Circuit 2
 The purpose of the basic circuit2 is to demo how Arduino will be
controlling an LED using conditional control structures.

Write all sketches using conditional structures on the arduino board


and verify the result.
Exercise 2: Basic Circuit 3
 The purpose of the basic circuit3 is to create different light patterns
using conditional structures
Exercise 2: sketch
Exercise 2: sketch – using Arrays
An array is a collection of variables that are indexed with an index number.
An example: Number of elements
in the array is defined
the array is defined

a FOR loop is used to go through


each of the elements in our array
and set them as OUTPUT

a FOR loop is used to go through


each of the LEDs and turn them on
@ 100 ms delay in between

a FOR loop is used to go backwards


Activity
1. Modify the FOR program to light the LED up 10 times in a row instead
of 4.
2. Make a program (sketch) that lights up a single LED five times in a row
for one second on and off, and then five times in a row for ½ of a
second on and off.
3. Make a program using arrays that lights up the LEDs from top to
bottom and then goes backwards so only one LED is on at any time.
4. Make a program that lights up the LEDs in any pattern that you like.

Include comments in your program codes to explain/dissect the overall


program. Have your work checked by your lab professor…..
