Structure
/* Each Arduino sketch must contain the
following two functions. */
void setup()
{
/* this code runs once at the beginning of
the code execution. */
void loop()
{
/* this code runs repeatedly over and over
as long as the board is powered. */
Comments
// this is a single line
/* this is
a multiline */
Setup
pinMode(pin, [INPUT \ OUTPUT \ INPUT_PULLUP]);
/* Sets the mode of the digital I/O pin.
It can be set as an input, output, or an
input with an internal pull-up resistor.
*/
Digital I/O
digitalWrite(pin, val);
/* val = HIGH or LOW write a HIGH or a LOW
value to a digital pin. */
int var = digitalRead(pin);
/* Reads the value from a specified digital
pin, either HIGH or LOW. */
Analog I/O
analogWrite(pin, val);
/* Writes an analog value to a pin.
val = integer value from 0 to 255 */
int var = analogRead(pin);
/* Reads the value from the specified
analog pin. */
Advanced I/O
tone(pin, freq);
/* Generates a square wave of the specified
frequency to a pin. Pin must be one of the
PWM (~) pins. */
tone(pin, freq, duration);
/* Generates a square wave of the specified
frequency to a pin for a duration in
milliseconds. Pin must be one of the PWM (~)
pins. */
noTone(pin);
// Turns off the tone on the pin.
