013 Your-first-steps-with-Arduino-programming-Summary

The document provides instructions for getting started with Arduino programming: it explains how to download and install the Arduino IDE software, how to upload a program to an Arduino board by selecting the correct board type and port, describes the basic structure of an Arduino program using setup() and loop() functions, how to use serial communication for debugging with matching baudrates, and how to reset a program by unplugging/reuploading or using the reset button.

Your first steps with Arduino programming -

Summary

Download and install the Arduino IDE

- Download from this link : ​https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software


- Go in the “Download the Arduino IDE” section and select your operating system to get
the correct version

Upload a program

- Connect your Arduino board to your computer


- Go to the “Tools” menu
- Select the correct Arduino board type
- Select the port where your Arduino board is plugged (it should be automatically
selected)

- Click on the upload button (arrow icon on the top left of the screen), and wait until you
see “Done uploading” at the bottom of the screen
Arduino Architecture

- This code is the minimum code for an Arduino program


- The “setup” function is called once, when the program starts
- Use the “setup” to initialize some components, initiate a communication, etc
- The “loop” function is then called forever (its name is clear, this is a loop)
Debug a program with Serial communication

- Open the serial monitor by clicking on the loop icon on the top right of the screen
- Initialize the communication in the “setup” function with Serial.begin(baudrate).
- 9600 is a pretty common baudrate value to start
- Select the same baudrate in the serial monitor
- !!! The baudrate should be the same on both sides of the communication !!!

- Use Serial.println(text or value here) to send a message from the Arduino to your
computer. You will see this value appear in the serial monitor

Reset a program

- At any moment you can choose to restart an Arduino program :


- Just unplug/plug the Arduino board
- Or upload the code again
- Or (much simpler and better), press the reset button (red) on the Arduino board
