    Study Notes

    Microcontrollers in Arduino Embedded Systems

    • A microcontroller (MCU) is the brain of an Arduino board, responsible for executing instructions and controlling the system.
    • Arduino boards use Atmel AVR microcontrollers, specifically the ATmega328P or ATmega2560.
    • Key features of microcontrollers in Arduino:
      • Low power consumption
      • Small size
      • High processing speed
      • Integrated memory (flash, RAM, and EEPROM)
      • Input/Output (I/O) peripherals (e.g., digital and analog pins)

    Programming Languages for Arduino Embedded Systems

    • Arduino uses a modified version of the C programming language, often referred to as Arduino Language or Arduino C.
    • Key features of the Arduino programming language:
      • Simplified syntax and structure
      • Built-in functions for I/O operations, timing, and math
      • Support for object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts
    • Other programming languages can be used with Arduino, including:
      • C++ (with additional libraries and frameworks)
      • Python (using libraries like Pyserial or Arduino-Python)
      • Java (using libraries like Arduino-Java)
      • Scratch (a visual programming language for beginners)

    Programming Environments for Arduino

    • The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is the official programming environment for Arduino.
    • Features of the Arduino IDE:
      • Code editor with syntax highlighting and auto-completion
      • Compiler and uploader for flashing code to the board
      • Serial monitor for debugging and communication
      • Library manager for easily installing and managing libraries
    • Other programming environments and tools can be used with Arduino, including:
      • Visual Studio Code with Arduino extensions
      • PlatformIO
      • Eclipse with Arduino plugins
