Getting Started
• Check out: http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/HomePage
1. Download & install the Arduino environment (IDE)
2. Connect the board to your computer via the UBS
cable
3. If needed, install the drivers (not needed in lab)
4. Launch the Arduino IDE
5. Select your board
6. Select your serial port
7. Open the blink example
8. Upload the program
Try It: Connect the USB Cable

A Little Bit About Programming
• Code is case
sensitive
• Statements are
commands and
must end with a
semi-colon
• Comments follow a
// or begin with /*
and end with */
• loop and setup
Our First Program
Terminology
Digital I/0
www.mikroe.com/chapters/view/1
pinMode(pin, mode)
Sets pin to either INPUT or OUTPUT
digitalRead(pin)
Reads HIGH or LOW from a pin
digitalWrite(pin, value)
Writes HIGH or LOW to a pin
Electronic stuff
Output pins can provide 40 mA of current
Writing HIGH to an input pin installs a 20KΩ pullup
Arduino Timing
• delay(ms)
– Pauses for a few milliseconds
• delayMicroseconds(us)
– Pauses for a few microseconds
• More commands:

Digital? Analog?
• Digital has two values: on and off
• Analog has many (infinite) values
• Computers don’t really do analog, they quantize
• Remember the 6 analog input pins---here’s how
they work

Putting It Together
• Complete the sketch
(program) below.
• What output will be
generated by this program?
• What if the schematic were
changed?
