Session 3 - Arduino IDE 18IT067 – Internet of Things

Arduino IDE
Terminology
• Sketch
✔ A program written to run on an Arduino board
• Pin
✔ An input or output connected to something. E.g., output to an LED, input
from a knob
• Digital
✔ Value is either HIGH or LOW. (aka on/off, one/zero) E.g., switch state
• Analog
✔ Value ranges, usually from 0 – 255. E.g., LED brightness, motor speed, etc.
