    Study Notes

    Arduino Programming Commands and Syntax

    • void setup(): This function runs once when the Arduino board starts up or is reset. It's used to initialize settings like pin modes and communication.

    • void loop(): This function runs repeatedly after the setup() function. The code within loop() executes continuously until the power is turned off or the board is reset.

    • // (Single-Line Comment): Used to add comments within the code that are ignored by the compiler.

    • /* */ (Multi-Line Comment): Comments that span multiple lines and are ignored by the compiler.

    • {} (Curly Braces): Used to define blocks of code within functions, loops, and conditional statements.

    • ; (Semicolon): Terminates statements in Arduino code, similar to C/C++.

    • int (Integer Data Type): Used to declare integer variables holding whole numbers (e.g., -32,768 to 32,767).

    • long (Long Integer Data Type): Holds larger integer values (-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647).

    • boolean (Boolean Data Type): Stores true or false values.

    • float (Floating-Point Data Type): Used for decimal values.

    • char (Character Data Type): Stores a single character (e.g., 'A').

    • = (Assignment Operator): Used to assign a value to a variable.

    • % (Modulo Operator): Calculates the remainder of a division. For example, 10 % 3 = 1.

    • + (Addition Operator): Adds two numbers or concatenates strings.

    • - (Subtraction Operator): Subtracts one number from another.

    • * (Multiplication Operator): Multiplies two numbers.

    • / (Division Operator): Divides one number by another.

    • == (Equality Comparison Operator): Checks if two values are equal.

    • != (Not Equal Comparison Operator): Checks if two values are not equal.

    • < (Less Than Comparison Operator): Checks if the left-hand operand is less than the right-hand operand.

    • > (Greater Than Comparison Operator): Checks if the left-hand operand is greater than the right-hand operand.

    • <= (Less Than or Equal To): Checks if the left-hand operand is less than or equal to the right-hand operand.

    • >= (Greater Than or Equal To): Checks if the left-hand operand is greater than or equal to the right-hand operand.

    • if: Executes a block of code if a condition is true.

    • else: Executes a block of code if the preceding if condition was false.

    • else if: Checks additional conditions in sequence, allowing for multiple possible outcomes.

    • pinMode(pin, mode): Configures a digital pin as either input or output.

    • digitalWrite(pin, value): Sets a digital pin's state to HIGH (on) or LOW (off).

    • digitalRead(pin): Reads the current state (HIGH or LOW) of a digital pin.

    • analogWrite(pin, value): Set the PWM (pulse-width modulation) value controlling the analog pin output.

    • analogRead(pin): Reads the analog voltage (0 to 1023) from the specified analog pin.

    Key Concepts

    • LED (Light Emitting Diode): A semiconductor device that emits light when current flows through it.

    • Diode: A device that allows current to flow in only one direction.

    • Resistor: A component that limits current flow in a circuit.

    • Transistor: A component used to amplify or switch electronic signals.

    • Servo Motor: A motor used for precise rotational positioning controlled by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal.

    • DC Motor: An electric motor that runs on direct current.

    • Piezo Buzzer: An audio device that produces sound when voltage is applied.

    • IC (Integrated Circuit): A set of electronic circuits on a chip.

    • Pushbutton: A mechanical switch that completes or breaks a circuit when pressed.

    • Potentiometer: A variable resistor that allows control of voltage.

    • Photoresistor (LDR): A resistor whose resistance changes based on the intensity of light.

    Data Types and Variables

    • int: Stores whole numbers.
    • long: Stores larger whole numbers.
    • float: Stores decimal numbers.
    • char: Stores a single character.
    • boolean: Stores true or false values.
