Arduino Cheat Sheet

The document provides a summary of key concepts in Arduino programming including data types, variables, arrays, libraries, I/O functions, operators, and control structures. It lists common bitwise operators, time functions, variable qualifiers, and ways to access pins, analog/digital signals, and serial communication. Mathematical functions, random numbers, and programming flow are also covered at a high level.
