Introduction to Arduino

for Engineering
Programming
Mr. Paul
Lecturer: Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering Department
Office: Ya Rona 001
Overview
• What is Arduino?
• Why Arduino is important in engineering programming?
• Topics we will cover:
 Arduino basics
 Writing and uploading code
 Interfacing with sensors and actuators
What is Arduino
• Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on
easy-to-use hardware and software.
• Consists
of a microcontroller (ATmega328P in most
models) and a development environment.
• Widely used for prototyping, interactive art, and
educational purposes.
Engineering
Programming
• Introduction to C Programming:
 Overview of C and its relationship to C.
 Setting up a C development environment (compiler,
IDE)

• C Language Basics:
 Syntax, data types, variables, and constants in C.

• Control Structures in C:
 Conditional statements (if, else, else if).
 Loops (for, while, do-while) for repetitive tasks.

• Functions in C:
 Declaring and defining functions in C.
 Function parameters and return values.
 Overloading functions in C.
Arduino Hardware
• Components of an Arduino
 Microcontroller (ATmega328P)
 Digital and Analog GPIO
 Power connector (USB/DC Jack)
 Reset button
 LED Indicator
Arduino Software
• Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
• Writing and uploading code
• Common programming language: C/C++/Python
Arduino Basics
• The "setup()" function
• The "loop()" function
• Basic
code syntax and
conventions
• Pin
modes (INPUT,
OUTPUT)
• Digital Read/Write
• Analog Read/Write
Writing & Uploading Code
• Structure of an Arduino sketch
• Verifying and Compiling the code
• Uploading code to the Arduino board
• Troubleshooting common errors
Interfacing with Sensors

1 2 3
Understanding Connecting Reading sensor
sensors (e.g., sensors to Arduino data through
temperature, analog or digital
humidity, motion) pins
Interfacing with Actuators
• Understanding actuators (e.g., LEDs, motors, servos)
• Connecting actuators to Arduino
• Controlling actuators using digital and analog output
