Breadboard Review
All the holes in each green section are wired together To link to different sections of green, you need to use a wire, resistor, or other electricity conducting material The wiring convention is that + goes on the outer strip and on the inner
Digital Multimeter Terms
Voltage Electrical potential difference, measured in volts Amperes Electric current flow Resistance - Electrical quantity that measures how the device or material reduces the electric current flow through it. The resistance is measured in units of ohms ().
Digital Multimeter Explanation
V~ - AC voltage, we wont be using this 1st Green Section of Multimeter Amperes, needs to be part of circuit Symbol for Ohms, Resistance
Symbol for DC voltage, most common use of DVM

Object Oriented Programming
C++ is an object oriented language C is not an object oriented language Objects are instances of classes Classes are like ints, strings, and chars, however they are described by you If you make a class called dog, you can describe the qualities of the dog in a single callable object that is an instance of a class
Standard C vs C++
C++
Standard C
C++
C++ was developed from the C programming language C was developed by Dennis Ritchie from 1969 to 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs
C++ is a superset of C; it encompasses all of C but has additional features: Primarily object oriented programming.
C++ was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Labs
Linux
The Linux kernel was written entirely in C It now might have C++ included Linux comes with native compilers for C and C++ It is the ideal development environment for C/C++ programs that arent OS dependent
C++ Contd.
C++ was created to fix the faults in C These included object oriented programming and class implementation
The name comes from the C programming language and the ++ is from the ++ operator which increments a variable.
C++ Contd.
C++ is a compiled language which means it is turned into an executable lower level program to run Usually compiled to machine code or binaries
C++ Contd.
C++ is still in use today It is used in systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high performance server and client applications, and video game software It is used by most major software companies such as Microsoft, apple, and Linux based companies
Often used to speed up scripted languages such as MATLAB or Python once development is done
C++ Contd.
In C++, you can develop new data types that contain functional descriptions (member functions) as well as data representations. These new data types are called classes
You can define a series of functions with different argument types that all use the same function name. This is called function overloading
You can redefine the meaning of the basic language operators so that they can perform operations on user-defined classes (new data types), in addition to operations on system-defined data types, such as int, char, and float
C++ Contd.
C++ retains the fast execution speed of C while also providing much needed improvements to the languages structure C++ allows for programmers to get access to low level hardware control including registers, ports, and flag masks

Arduino Programming
8 Bit Atmel AVR boards (not Due/Yun) run machine code: 101001000010100010001001000010010010 Arduino programs are written in either C or C++ depending on whether you use C++ features Arduino programs have a 32Kb limit on Arduino UNO and 200Kb limit on Arduino Mega 2560
C++ Code Review Required Code
void setup()
{
} void loop() { }
Setup Used to tell what pins are used for what purpose. Options are INPUT or OUTPUT Loop All Arduino programs repeat infinitely on some level. You can put code in loop or call a function defined elsewhere.
C++ Code Review - Comments
TYPE Single line Makes that one line invisible to compiler Multiple Line Makes those group of lines invisible to compiler IMPLEMENTATION // Put comments after here /* Put comments here

*/
C++ Code Review Variables
TYPE
Int The set of integers. Fastest to compute Float The set of real numbers. Slow to compute. String A series of characters Boolean Holds one of two values: true or false. *Note: true is synonymous with 1 and false with 0 in Boolean programming
IMPLEMENTATION Int myInt = 8; Float myFloat = 2.198752; String myString = Hello; Boolean on = true;
C++ Code Review - Channel Control
FUNCTIONS
digitalWrite Controls a pin with a digital signal. Parameters are channel number and state analogWrite Controls a pin with a simulated analog signal. Parameters are channel number and duty cycle between 0 (always off) to 255 (always on)
IMPLEMENTATION digitalWrite(13, HIGH); digitalWrite(13, LOW); analogWrite(13,128); //appears to be 50% brightness
C++ Code Review Delay
FUNCTION Delay essentially pauses the program. Parameter is time in milliseconds IMPLEMENTATION delay(1000);
C++ Code Review - Functions
ABOUT FUNCTIONS
Functions are sections of code that are defined by a name and input parameters They can be called from other sections of code as many times as needed They can return a value that was calculated from input parameters They must be defined before they are used
IMPLEMENTATION
int myMultiplyFunction(int x, int y) {
int result;
result = x * y; return result;
C++ Code Review - Arrays
ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION
int myPins[] = {1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10}; An array is a collection of variables that are accessed with an index number
Arrays are zero indexed, that is, referring to the array initialization above, the first element of the array is at index 0
C++ Code Review - Iterators
TYPES i++ : increase variable by 1 i-- :decrease variable by 1 ++i :increase variable by i --I : decrease variable by i
IMPLEMENTATION
int x = 0; int i = 2; x++; x--; x = ++i;
x = --i
C++ Code Review - Random
ABOUT The random function generates pseudo-random integers IMPLEMENTATION
int randomNumber = random(1, 11);
Parameters are min and max
Min is inclusive Max is exclusive
C++ Code Review - Loops
TYPES For Loop An iterative loop that runs through a set of defined numbers While Loop A general loop that continuously is evaluated until the given condition evaluates to false or zero. Must be manually increased with an iterator IMPLEMENTATION
for (int i=0; i <= 255; i++){ //do stuff with I }
while(int x < 200){ //do something repetitive 200 times x++; }
C++ Code Review Reading in Signals
ABOUT
Reading is taking input Two types of input, analog and digital
IMPLEMENTATION float x = digitalRead(12); Float y = analogRead(3);
Be careful to stay inside voltage limits when taking input
Parameters are the pin your reading from
First Project Requirements
5- 8 LEDs on separate channels 1 Randomly selected LED blinks every 100th of a second Purpose: To show the Phi Phenomenon. A series of views changing faster than the eye can distinguish look like a moving image. In this case it will look like more than one LED is on at the same time even though thats not happening.

PWM Pulse Width Modulation
a modulation technique that conforms the width of the pulse, formally the pulse duration, based on modulator signal information. Although this modulation technique can be used to encode information for transmission, its main use is to allow the control of the power supplied to electrical devices, especially to inertial loads such as motors. Essentially it is using digital signals to represent an analog signal.
Pulse Width Modulation Cont.
The width of the pulse (blue) is changing so that its width represents the sine wave rather than its state (on/off)
PasteBin
int led = 7; void setup(){

pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
void loop(){
for( int i = 0; i<256; i++)
analogWrite(led, i);
delay(9.765);
//0% brightness to 100% brightness over 2.5 seconds
for (int k = 255; k>0; k--)
analogWrite(led, k);
delay(9.765);
//100% to 0% brightness over 2.5 seconds
