Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Basic Process
Design the circuit:
!
What are electrical requirements of the sensors or actuators?
!
Identify inputs (analog inputs)
!
Identify digital outputs
Write the code
!
Build incrementally
! Get the simplest piece to work rst
! Add complexity and test at each stage
! Save and Backup frequently
!
Use variables, not constants

Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Code Structure: Header
11
Header provides information.
Later, it will also contain code
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Code Structure: setup function
12
setup function is executed
only once at the start
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Code Structure: loop function
13
loop function is
repeated indenitely
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Code
14
Digital I/O Functions:
pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
pinMode(13, Output)
prepare pin 13 for
outputs of voltage
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Code
15
Digital I/O Functions:
pinMode
digitalWrite
digitalRead
digitalWrite(13, HIGH)
Sets pin 13 to voltage
that means on

Arduino Variable Types
18
int Integer values: 1, 2, 3, -4, 7234
oat Values with non-zero fractional part, 7 digits
double Currently the same as a oat. Normally a
double stores values with non-zero fractional
part, 15 digits
char Character values: a, b, D, 1
boolean True or false values
Arduino Programming: EAS 199A
Using variables and functions
19
Assigning values:
int red_LED_pin = 5;
pinMode( red_LED_pin, OUTPUT );
digitalWrite( red_LED_pin, HIGH );
Denes the variable type as an integer
Denes the variable name as red_LED_pin
calls the function named pinMode
Uses the value stored in red_LED_pin
calls the function named digitalWrite
HIGH and OUTPUT are pre-dened constants
