Microcontroller Basics Explored
One thing is great about microcontroller ICs, these are available almost in all parts of the globe and electronic retailers. Introduction Fundamentally microcontroller devices are popularly used in applications involving assessments of the surrounding environment and in similar electronics. You could find these devices being used for displaying a certain parameter, in motor control applications, […]
Fading an LED ON/OFF – Arduino Basics
In this post I have explained a basic Arduino function where I have explained the process of fading an LED ON/OFF through some basic code implementations. Creating a Fading Effect We see how to use an analogwrite() function in order to implement a fading ON/OFF of an LED. The function incorporates PWM pulses across a […]
Converting Analogue to Digital (Analogue Read Serial) – Arduino Basics
In this Arduino basics I have explained the code implementation procedure wherein an external analogue signal is fed to the Arduino analogue input and translated or converted into a correspondingly proportionate digital readout. Here we employ a variable resistance in the form of a pot as the analogue signal source. Analog Read Serial In this […]
Monitoring State of a Switch (Digital Read Serial) – Arduino Basics
This Arduino basics discusses the method of implementing a code through which the ON or OFF state of an external push-button could be read or monitored within the Arduino. Digital Read Serial Here I have explained through an example how to monitor the state of a switch by performing serial communication across your Arduino and your PC via USB. In excess to your […]
Blinking an LED with Delay – Arduino Basics
Here I have explained the bare minimum code for compiling an Arduino and also the method of blinking an LED using an Arduino board. Learning the Bare Basics Here we discus and try to understand the fundamental minimum code that one would need to compile an “Arduino Sketch” which consists the setup()method and the loop()method. […]
