Introduction to Microcontroller
Programming
NetLogic- Microcontroller Board
NetLogic is a programmable board that can be programmed to perform many tasks.
NetLogic is useful when you need to perform tasks that need to be repeated multiple times
e.g. You want to switch ON the Buzzer for 10 seconds and then switch OFF for 5 seconds.
NetLogic is also quite useful in cases when there are multiple conditions to check before
you take any action. e.g. you need to control the Buzzer and Light based on the number of
people entering the room. In such cases, it is quite convenient to make your project using
NetLogic and programming instead of making it work without programming. Giving
instructions to NetLogic is called programming. It can be programmed using software called
app.cretile.com or Arduino IDE.
NetLogic includes built-in WiFi and Bluetooth capability, making it suitable for IOT and
Wireless applications.
NetLogic provides many features
1. General Purpose Inputs and Outputs
2. DC motor control
3. Servo Motor Control
4. External Display connection (I2C)
5. Connections for Cretile Sensors
6. Wi-Fi connectivity
7. BLE connectivity (Bluetooth Low Energy)
8. IOT capability using Cretile Libraries
All these features can be used in NetLogic program to perform actions according to
your project requirement. NetLogic can be connected to a computer (windows based)
using a micro-USB data cable or Bluetooth connection to upload program on it.

WORKING
• Switch ON the Battery. Click on the connection button in app.cretile.com to
connect NetLogic. After successful pairing click on the Run button to
execute the program.
You Will notice that the Light Connected to Netlogic at Out-1 and Buzzer connected
to Out-2 will turn ON and OFF after every 2 seconds.
