Arduino Programming Lessons
Arduino is programmed with a mixture of C, C++ (see plus plus), and a large helping of Arduino specific code to make programming microcontrollers more accessible.
I hope you find the following lessons on programming Arduino helpful!
Do you have an Arduino UNO Q, or are you on the waitlist for an Arduino Ventuno Q? If so, then I am guessing you have used the new Arduino AppLab IDE. And you might be wondering what the heck…
Arduino announced a new “Dual Brain” Single Board Computer (SBC) they are calling the VENTUNO Q. I have to say – it looks pretty amazing. If you have been following Arduino’s releases lately, you’ll know the dust hasn’t even settled…
If you’re building Python apps with the Arduino UNO Q and Arduino AppLab, you might wonder how to add third-party packages. You don’t run pip install manually – it’s even easier than that. Just use a requirements.txt file All you…
Are you working on an Arduino project, where you have to take code from two or more places and combine them into the same program? But it’s turning into a Jerry Springer show?! One sketch is throwing chairs, the other is…
Are you eager to delve into the world of Arduino libraries but unsure where to start? Fear not, as I’m here to guide you through three distinct methods of installing Arduino libraries, ranging from the easy and straightforward to the…
Are you trying to use random numbers with Arduino? This article tutorial talks about using the random() and randomSeed() functions with Arduino. It is pretty straight forward, but there are some intricacies worth noting. Creating truly random numbers in Arduino…
Commenting out code. What does that mean exactly? Now, I’m not talking about ‘commenting code’. That’s a discussion in and of itself. I’m talking about commenting OUT code. That’s when you selectively turn off some of the code in your…
Are you trying to build a project using Arduino and you need to program repetitive timed events? Are you looking for alternatives to the delay() function to achieve this? Have you heard of the millis() function? The wait is over.…
Do you need to make some noise with Arduino? Maybe a simple tone for an alarm, maybe a beep to alert you when a specific input threshold is met, or maybe to play the Super Mario Brothers soundtrack to entertain…
In many cases while using an Arduino, you will want to see the data being generated by the Arduino. One common method of doing this is using the Serial.print() function from the Serial library to display information to your computer’s…
