Cornerstone Arduino Review

Programming in Arduino

100

Two functions make up an Arduino sketch. void setup() {...} and THIS

void loop() { ... }

200

Include the pinMode function in THIS part of the Arduino sketch

void setup ()

300

THIS is the unit of time in Arduino, e.g. delay(2000);

milliseconds (1/1000 seconds)

2000 ms = 2 s

400

THIS is a set of user-defined instructions that can be called over and over in a program 

function

500

THIS command starts serial communication between the Arduino and the serial monitor

Serial.begin(baudrate);

Serial.begin(9600);

Serial.begin

Important Functions

100

What does the number 6 do in this piece of code? pinMode(6, INPUT);

use pin 6 on the microcontroller

200

What does LOW do in the following code? digitalWrite(7,LOW);

send a low signal (0V), in this case to pin 7

300

THIS command is used to send a signal with a range of possible values

analogWrite()

400

THIS command is used to receive a signal from a switch

digitalRead()

500

THIS command is used to receive a signal from a temperature sensor wired to pin 7

analogRead(7);

Inputs & Outputs

100

THIS component often accompanies LEDs and other components to limit current flow

resistor

200

THIS is a construction base that allows you to easily develop and replace an electronic circuit and wirings 

breadboard

300

THIS is the name of the pin(s) that serve as a reference point for 0 Volts

GND

ground

400

THIS is the maximum input voltage to an input pin of an Arduino board

5V

500

THIS is the number of digital I/O pins on the Arduino Uno / RedBoard

14

Outputs & Inputs

100

THESE two inputs would be written in the digitalWrite command to cause a 5V signal to send from pin 3.

digitalWrite(3,HIGH);

200

LED stands for THIS

light emitting diode

300

THIS kind of motor moves to specific positions based on angle

servo motor

400

THIS is the method used to control speed of a DC motor

PWM, pulse width modulation

500

THIS symbol indicates which pins can be used with pulse width modulation
