FDP Arduino Notes

Arduino is a microcontroller tool that allows users to control electronics through code, specifically using the Arduino Uno board based on the ATmega328. It consists of hardware and software components, with programs structured around 'void setup()' and 'void loop()' functions. Key functions include configuring pins, reading and writing digital values, and managing serial communication for data transfer.

Arduino

• Arduino is a tool (microcontroller) that helps to control electronics stuff with code.
• Microcontroller is microprocessor with memory, RAM and some other peripheral
connected with it.
• The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. The
ATmega328 has Flash memory of 32 KB.

Software
• Every Arduino program has void setup() and void loop().
• Program runs in linear fashion.
• Program is case sensitive.

Three things are required to declare a variable


• Data type
• Variable name
• value

Some basic functions for controlling the Arduino board


• pinMode(pin, mode): Configure the specified pin to behave either as an input or an
output.
• digitalWrite(pin, value): Write a ”HIGH” or ”LOW” to a digital pin.
• digitalRead(pin): Reads the value from a specified digital pin, either ”HIGH” or
”LOW”.
• delay(2000): Pause the program for the amount of time (in milliseconds).
• analogWrite(pin, value): Writes analog value (PWM) to a pin. It can be used to
light an LED at varying brightness or drive a motor at various speeds.
• analogRead(A0): Read the value from the specified analog pin. ATmega328 it has a
10-bit analog-to-digital converter. This means that it can map input voltage between
0 and 5V into integer values between 0 and 1023.

7/8
Serial communication

• “Serial” because data is broken into bits, each sent one after another in a single wire.
• Serial.begin(9600) initializes serial communication between the Arduino board and
the computer, setting the data transfer rate to 9600 bits per second.
• Compiling turns program into binary data (ones and zeros).
• Uploading sends the bits through USB cable to the Arduino.
• The two LEDs near the USB connector blink when data is transmitted. RX blinks
when the Arduino is receiving data. TX blinks when the Arduino is transmitting data
