Introduction to Arduino

What is Arduino?
 Arduino is an open- source computer hardware and
software company, project and user community that
designs and manufactures microcontroller-based kits
for building systems consisting of digital devices,
interactive objects that can sense and control in the
physical world.

How to program Arduino?
 The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
supports the C and C++ programming languages using
special rules of code organization.
 The Arduino IDE supplies a software library called
"Wiring" from the Wiring project, which provides many
common input and output procedures.

Program Structure
Setup( )
{
// A function that runs once at the start of a program and is used to
set //pinMode or initialize serial communication
}
loop( )
{
// This function includes the code to be executed continuously – reading
inputs, //triggering outputs, etc.
// This function is the core of all Arduino programs and does the bulk of
the //work.
}

Activity 1.1
Type : Team of 2 Duration : 15 Minutes
Use LED blink program from
example and upload it on the
ARDUINO board

Functions to handle digital I/O pinMode (pin, OUTPUT);
// make the digital pin either INPUT or OUTPUT
 digitalRead (pin);
//used to get the content on the pin which is
HIGH(1) or LOW(0)
 digitalWrite(pin, value)
//used to send HIGH(1) or LOW(0) value to a pin

Time Function
 delay(ms)
// waits for milli – seconds

/*….. Program to blink the LED on pin 13 …..*/
void setup( )
{
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //Initialize the digital pin as output
}
void loop( )
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED ON
delay(1000); // Wait for one second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED OFF
delay(1000); // Wait for one second
}

Activity 1.2
Modify the program to blink LED every 2
sec on pin 12.

Circuit for the LED
Cathode of
LED
Anode of LED

/*….. Program to blink the LED every 2 second on pin12*/
void setup( )
{
}
void loop( )
{
delay(2000); // Wait for a two second
delay(2000); // Wait for a two second
}

Activity 1.3
Modify the program to display the LED
state every 2 sec on Serial Monitor.

Serial communication with
ArduinoWhat is serial communication ?

The word serial means "one after the other."
 What is Baud rate ?
Number of symbols transferred per sec

Serial Display Functions
 Serial.begin(baud_rate)
//baud rate(characters per sec) between computer and
board is typically 9600 although you can work with
other speeds by changing settings of COM Port
 Serial.print(value),
//value could be any data and even string
 Serial.println(value)
//print in new line

Eg. Print INDIA on serial monitor
void setup( )
{
Serial.begin(9600);// 9600 is default baud rate of serial com
port of a computer
}
void loop( )
{
Serial.println(“INDIA”); // Send the value “INDIA”
}

/*….. Modify the program to blink on pin12 and display the LED state every 2 sec
on Serial Monitor…..*/
void setup( )
{
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop( )
{
Serial.println(“ON”); // Send the value “ON”
delay(2000); // Wait for a second
Serial.println(“OFF”); // Send the value “OFF”
delay(2000); // Wait for a second
}

Activity 1.4
Modify the program to blink 10 times
per loop iteration and display no. of
loop iterations on serial monitor.

Looping Concept
//for loop concept
Syntax –
for(initialization ; condition; increment / decrement)
{
//code which you want to perform
}
Example : to print number from 1 to 10
for(int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
Serial.println(i);
Serial.println(“INDIA”);
}

long int Count=0;
void setup( )
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Serial.println(“count of iterations running are: “);
}
void loop( )
{
for (int i=1;i<=10;i++)
{
Serial.println(i);
digitalWrite(12, HIGH);
Serial.println(“ON”);
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(12, LOW);
 Serial.println(“OFF”);
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
Count++;
 Serial.print(“Iteration:”);
Serial.println(Count);
}

Condition Statements
if(Condition 1)
{
//Statements
}
if(Condition 2)
{
//Statements
}
else
{
//Statements
}

Topic Learning Outcomes
At the end of the topic the student should be able to
1. Explain the importance of platform based development
2. Use looping, delay and conditioning concepts in
developing a program on Arduino environment.
