Arduino Coding Reviewer for Beginners

1. Basics of Arduino
- Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
- The primary programming language used is C++.
- The main software for coding and uploading programs is the Arduino IDE.

2. Basic Structure of an Arduino Program


An Arduino sketch consists of two main functions:

void setup() {
// Code here runs once when the board starts
}

void loop() {
// Code here runs repeatedly
}

3. Common Arduino Functions


- pinMode(pin, mode); -> Configures a pin as INPUT or OUTPUT.
- digitalWrite(pin, HIGH/LOW); -> Turns a digital pin on or off.
- digitalRead(pin); -> Reads HIGH or LOW from a digital pin.
- analogWrite(pin, value); -> Outputs a PWM signal (0-255) on a PWM-capable pin.
- analogRead(pin); -> Reads an analog value (0-1023) from an analog pin.
- delay(ms); -> Pauses execution for the specified milliseconds.
- Serial.begin(baudrate); -> Starts serial communication.
- Serial.print(data); -> Prints data to the Serial Monitor.
- Serial.println(data); -> Prints data with a newline.

4. Example Codes
Blinking an LED (Basic Output):

void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

Reading a Button (Basic Input):

int buttonPin = 2;
void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
Serial.println(buttonState);
delay(100);
}

Reading an Analog Sensor:

int sensorPin = A0;


void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(500);
}

Controlling an LED with a Button:

int buttonPin = 2;
int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
digitalWrite(ledPin, buttonState);
}

5. Debugging Tips
- Use Serial.print() to check variable values.
- Make sure the correct board and port are selected in the Arduino IDE.
- Check wiring connections and component placements.
