This article details the ways an Arduino microcontroller can communicate with your computer through the various Serial functions. Serial functions: The various Serial functions are used for communication between the Arduino board and a computer/other devices. All Arduino boards have at least one Serial port, as pictured below: How Serial functions are applied in practice: In order for Serial to work properly, the arduino microcontroller (typically) has to be connected (via a

This article details the digitalRead() function in Arduino programming, explaining how it works and how to use it in your own sketches. digitalRead(): Introduction: As you may know, a microcontroller, in simplest terms, can be called the brain of the circuit. That is, the microcontroller is the component of the circuit responsible for storing and processing the code that is written. As you can see in this image, a microcontroller has pins - these tiny metal legs - that “attac

Pictured below is the general framework for the usage of control structures, which use conditions to determine the flow and order of operations in the program: While Loops: This function will loop continuously until the expression inside the parentheses becomes false If nothing changes the variable, the loop will never end; for this reason, in practice, you would not evaluate the truth of a constant, but rather the state of a sensor or the value of a variable. The syntax for
