Study Notes
Setup Function
-
setup()runs once when the microcontroller starts or resets, used for initial configurations. - Ideal for configuring pin modes, setting up serial communication, timers, and other hardware setup tasks.
- Example syntax:
void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); }
Loop Function
-
loop()is executed continuously aftersetup()is complete. - Contains primary code logic and runs indefinitely until power off or reset.
- Example syntax:
void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(1000); }
pinMode() Function
-
pinMode(pin, mode)configures the mode of a digital pin (e.g., INPUT or OUTPUT). - INPUT allows for reading external signals; OUTPUT allows for sending signals to components.
- For OUTPUT pins,
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH)turns the pin on, whiledigitalWrite(pin, LOW)turns it off. - For INPUT pins,
digitalRead(pin)reads the state of connected signals.
delay() Function
-
delay(ms)introduces a pause in code execution for the specified time in milliseconds. - During a delay, the microcontroller does not perform any tasks.
Variables: int and const
-
intrepresents whole numbers (positive and negative), used for counting and arithmetic operations. -
constkeyword declares a constant, which is a value that cannot be altered after assignment, providing stability in code.
for() Loop
- A control structure to repeat code a specific number of times, best for known iterations.
- Consists of three parts: Initialization (setting a counter variable), Condition (determining loop continuation), and Update (modifying the counter).
- Example syntax:
for(initialization; condition; update) { // code to be executed } - Initializes counter variable, e.g.,
int i = 1.
