Study Notes
Introduction to Arduino Uno
- Arduino Uno is a popular microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P chip, suitable for both beginners and advanced users.
- Operates at a voltage of 5V with a recommended input voltage range of 7-12V.
- Input voltage limits range from 6-20V, allowing flexibility in power supply.
- Features 14 digital I/O pins (6 support PWM), 6 analog input pins, and provides a DC current of up to 20 mA per I/O pin.
- Memory specifications include 32 KB of Flash Memory (0.5 KB used by bootloader), 2 KB of SRAM, and 1 KB of EEPROM.
- The board runs at a clock speed of 16 MHz, ensuring efficient processing.
Arduino Pins and Functions
- Power Pins:
- 5V and 3.3V supply voltage to connected devices; GND is for grounding; PWR IN connects external power; USB links to computers for power/data.
- Reset Pin: Restarts the currently loaded program.
- Digital I/O Pins: Read (input) or write (output) binary states (HIGH/LOW).
- Analog Input Pins: Read varying voltage levels from analog sensors, providing a wider range of data beyond binary.
Breadboard and Components
- Breadboard provides a solderless base for developing electronic circuits with microcontrollers like Arduino.
- The DRV8833 motor driver permits speed and directional control for two DC motors simultaneously.
- IR sensor uses LEDs to indicate power and signal detection.
Software: Arduino IDE
- Programming is done primarily using C++ with crucial functions such as:
void setup(): Configures pin modes for input or output.void loop(): Contains the main tasks that run repeatedly.digitalRead(),digitalWrite(), andanalogRead(): Essential for interacting with digital and analog pins.
Coding Concepts
- Functions and methods are used to control Arduino, with
if statementsfor conditional logic. - Serial communication allows sending and receiving data between Arduino and other devices/computers through digital pins 0 (RX) & 1 (TX).
Code Examples
- Digital I/O Examples:
pinMode(pin, mode): Configures pin mode as INPUT or OUTPUT.digitalRead(pin): Reads digital value from the specified pin.digitalWrite(pin, value): Sets a digital pin to HIGH or LOW.
- Analog Input Example:
variable = analogRead(sensorPin): Reads voltage from an analog pin and stores it in a variable.
Input vs. Output
- Input devices (e.g. sensors) send signals to the board, while Output devices (e.g. LEDs, motors) receive signals from the board.
Programming Principles
- Syntax, casing, and punctuation are critical in coding; check for correct semicolon usage and matching brackets.
- Variables hold specific types of information and must be declared properly (e.g.,
int IN1 = 2;).
Serial Communication Concepts
Serial.begin(): Initializes baud rate for data transmission.Serial.print(): Sends data as ASCII text without a newline.Serial.println(): Sends data followed by a newline, enhancing readability.Serial.write(): Sends binary data through the serial port.
