What is an Arduino?
Open Source electronic prototyping
platform based on flexible easy to use
hardware and software.
What is an Arduino?
 Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform.

 It is a small microcontroller board with a USB plug.

 Based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that


implements the Processing/writing language.

 Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or


can be connected to software on your computer.

 Easy-to-use hardware and software.


What is an Arduino?
 It’s intended for students, artists, designers, hobbyists and anyone
who tinker with technology.

 It is programmed in Arduino Programming language(APL) similar


to C/C++.

 Way more easy to program compared to other microcontroller


packages.

 The Arduino is a microcontroller development platform (not a


microcontroller….)
 It is the winner of “worlds best interaction award 2012”
sponsored by Google
Arduino
Pinout
Different flavors!!!
 There are many versions of Arduino board. Versions differ by size,
microcontroller, etc.
Shields
 Printed circuit boards that sit atop an arduino
 Plug into the normally supplied pin-headers of arduino.
 These are expansions to the base Arduino.
 For example:Arduino Ethernet shield,Xbee Shield,Touch Shield etc
External power
 Should be between 9V and 12V DC.

 Must be rated for a minimum of 250mA current output.

 Must have a 2.1mm power plug on the Arduino end.

 The plug must be “centre positive”,that is,the middle pin of the plug has to
be the + connection
ARDUINO - Software
 Arduino boards can be controlled using an implementation of Wiring, Which
is a version of Processing developed specifically for electronic I/O.

 Arduino looks like Processing, but is actually built in C,so there are a few
differences to look out for.

 Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) can be downloaded


from http://www.arduino.cc

 Currently used version is 2.0.


The Arduino IDE
 The arduino is programmed in C language.

 The language is very simple and provides many abstraction for


simplicity of reading and writing powerful applications.

 It provides a serial monitor to see the serial data from the USB
virtual COM port.

 Allows one click compiling, verification and burning of code onto the
arduino.
Arduino Programming language v/s Processing
 Arduino has two reserved functions:
1. void setup()
2. void loop()
 There is no pop-up display window, hence void draw() is not special.
Loop() can be considered to do the same thing as draw() for the arduino.
 There are three types of variable in Arduino:
i. char
ii. int
iii. long
 Arduino has a few reserved constants, which do not need to be defined:
1. HIGH//5 volts
2. LOW//0 volts
3. INPUT//pin is input
4. OUTPUT//pin is output
 Conditional statements are the same as in Processing.
 Functions can be defined the same as in Processing
Arduino Programming language v/s Processing
Steps in Arduino programming
 Open the IDE

 Write code and logic

 Click the verify/compile button to check your program for errors

 Attach the arduino via USB to the PC

 Install drivers if first time

 Setup serial port being used.

 Setup board which we need to program.

 Click upload code to send code to arduino.


Arduino - Simulator
 “simulator for Arduino v0.95” is the simulator software to make virtual
implementation of the Arduino.

 The benefits and features are:


1. The ability to teach and demonstrate the inner workings of an Arduino
sketch
2. Test out a sketch without the hardware, or prior to purchasing hardware
3. Debug a sketch
4. Demonstrate a project to a potential customer
5. Develop a complicated sketch faster than using the hardware
Simulator for Arduino v0.95
Simulator for Arduino
Why Arduino?

 It is Open Source,both in terms of Hardware and Software.

 It is cheap,(about $20,the cost of going out for pizza)

 USB connectivity(MacBooks don’t have serial ports)

 More powerful than a BASIC stamp(it costs around $180)

 Simple and easy to use by someone without formal electronics training.


Editing and rewriting is often easier than writing from scratch.
Getting started with Programming
Bare minimum code
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run
once:
}

void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run
repeatedly:
}
Bare minimum code
setup : It is called only when the Arduino is
powered on or reset. It is used to
initialize variables and pin modes

loop : The loop functions runs continuously


till the device is powered off. The main
logic of the code goes here. Similar to
while (1) for micro-controller
programming.
PinMode
A pin on arduino can be set as input or
output by using pinMode function.

pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // sets pin 13 as


output pin

pinMode(13, INPUT); // sets pin 13 as


input pin
Reading/writing digital values
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Makes the output
voltage on pin 13 , 0V

digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Makes the output


voltage on pin 13 , 5V

int buttonState = digitalRead(2); // reads


the value of pin 2 in buttonState
Analog to Digital Conversion
What is analog ?
It is continuous range of voltage values
(not just 0 or 5V)

Why convert to digital ?


Because our microcontroller only
understands digital.
ADC in Arduino Uno
Converting Analog Value to
Digital
Quantization the signal
ADC in Arduino
The Arduino Uno board contains 6 pins for
ADC

10-bit analog to digital converter

This means that it will map input voltages


between 0 and 5 volts into integer values
between 0 and 1023
Reading/Writing Analog Values
analogRead(A0); // used to read the
analog value from the pin A0

analogWrite(2,128);
ADC Example
// These constants won't change. They're used to give names to the pins used:
const int analogInPin = A0; // Analog input pin that the potentiometer is attached to
const int analogOutPin = 9; // Analog output pin that the LED is attached to
int sensorValue = 0; // value read from the pot
int outputValue = 0; // value output to the PWM (analog out)
void setup() {
// initialize serial communications at 9600 bps:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// read the analog in value:
sensorValue = analogRead(analogInPin);
// map it to the range of the analog out:
outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
// change the analog out value:
analogWrite(analogOutPin, outputValue);
// print the results to the serial monitor:
Serial.print("sensor = " );
Serial.print(sensorValue);
Serial.print("\t output = ");
Serial.println(outputValue);
// wait 2 milliseconds before the next loop
// for the analog-to-digital converter to settle
// after the last reading:
delay(2);
}
