Microcontroller
• A microcontroller is a small computer on a single
integrated circuit.
• A microcontroller contains
– one or more processor
– memory and
– programmable input/output peripherals.
SREC - EIE - 14/AUG/18 MATLAB BASICS 4
Microcontroller
• Microcontrollers are "embedded" inside some other
device (often a consumer product)
• Microcontrollers are dedicated to one task and run
one specific program.
• Microcontrollers are often low-power devices.
• A microcontroller is often small and low cost.

UPLOAD ADIOES.PDE TO THE ARDUINO BOARD
1. Connect the Arduino, make sure that the
right board and serial port are selected in the
IDE, (Tools/Board and Tool/Serial Port) then
select
2. File -> Upload to I/O Board and wait for the
"Done Uploading" message
SREC - EIE - 14/AUG/18 MATLAB BASICS 22
Step 1 :From the Arduino IDE, go to
File -> Open, locate the file adioes.pde
