Introduction to embedded programming
For this module on embedded programming, we will be focusing on programming with the Arduino Uno and we will learn how use the Arduino Ide software.
Using the Arduino
Before starting anythin, you will first have to install the Arduino Ide which you can install by clicking here.
After installing the software, connect the Arduino Uno board to your computer. You should hear a beep, indicating that the Arduino has connectedto your computer. The leds on the Arduino will also start glowing red.
Next, check and ensure that the board you have chose is the Arduino Uno board. At the same time check if you are using the correct computer port.
Write the code which you want to be repeated under loop while the code which will only be used once underthe set up. Under the setup, you can also define the ports on your arduino and at the same time set the variables fro your programme.
