Getting Started with Arduino for IoT


Introduction to Arduino


What is an Arduino?

• An open-source prototyping platform

• Project started at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII), in Ivrea, Italy in 2003.

• Initially created to provide a simple, low-cost tool for non-engineers to create digital projects.

• Small electronic machine that consists of two parts:

- Circuit Board

- Program to tell the board what to do

• Target Audience: Visual Artists, non-programmers


Common types of Arduino boards

Arduino Micro Arduino Nano 33 IoT Arduino Zero Arduino Uno R3 Arduino Mega

A physical walkthrough of Arduino


Detailed breakdown of the Arduino hardware

ATmega328

Analog Pins

Power supply

Input power

Digital Pin

In-circuit serial programming

USB 2.0 port

• Digital Pins (D0 to 15): Control sensors, read and write data from said sensors

• Analog Pins (A0 to A5): Read-only and generally used to read input from sensors. Connected to an Analog-to-digital converter which will map voltage levels to numbers between 0 to 1023.

• Power supply: Use for powering external sensors (never use this to power motors)

• ICSP (also ISP): Allows for changing firmware of the microcontroller and other devices.

• Input power: Supply the Arduino with power.

• USB 2.0: Supply the Arduino with power and/or for programming it


Development for Arduino


Creating programs for Arduino

• Java-based IDE

• Supported on Windows/Mac/Linux/ChromeOS

• Comes with a C/C++ library called Wiring (http://wiring.org.co)

• Compile and deploy code to Arduino Boards with ease

• No integrated source control

• No code autocompletion

Arduino IDE

Creating programs for Arduino

• General source code editor

• Supported on Windows/Mac/Linux

• For Arduino, PlatformIO is required (https://platformio.org)

• Highly extensible and configurable

• Has integrated source control

• Has Code auto-completion

• Not used in this session

Visual Studio Code

https://platformio.org/


Programming language for Arduino

• C/C++ dialect

• Supports only:

- basic array

- Primitive types (int, float, long, char, boolean)

- Loops (for and while)

TriviaAn Arduino program is called a Sketch
