Study Notes
Arduino Sketch Basics
- Lines beginning with
//are comments for users, ignored by Arduino; useful for code documentation. - Multi-line comments can begin with
/*and end with*/, allowing explanation over several lines.
Variable Declaration
-
ledis defined as an identifier for pin 13; using this name throughout the code simplifies referencing the pin.
Setup Function
- Code within curly brackets
{}followingsetup()runs once upon program startup. - The command
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);designates pin 13 as an output pin, enabling power to an LED.
Loop Function
- The
loop()function initiates an infinite cycle of code execution after startup. - Code within its curly brackets
{}executes repeatedly until the Arduino is powered off, facilitating continuous tasks.
Pin Control
- The command
digitalWrite(led, HIGH);could be used to turn the LED on, whiledigitalWrite(led, LOW);turns it off.
