Arduino nano programming for beginners. Projects using Arduino controller

Arduino represents small fee, which serves to create various devices, interesting gadgets, and even computing platforms. This board is called a microcontroller, which is distributed with open source codes and with which you can use many applications.

This is the simplest and most inexpensive option for beginners, amateurs and professionals. The programming process takes place in the Processing/Wiring language, which is quickly and easily learned and is based on the C++ language, and thanks to this it is very easy to do. Let's look at what Arduino is, how it is useful for beginners, its capabilities and features.

Arduino is a computing platform or board that will serve as the brain for your new devices or gadgets. Based on it, you can create both devices with simple circuits and complex, labor-intensive projects, for example, robots or drones.

The basis of the designer is the input-output board (hardware), as well as the software part. Arduino-based designer software is represented by an integrated development environment.

Externally, the environment itself looks like this:

The Arduino software is designed in such a way that even a novice user with no knowledge of programming can handle it. An additional success factor in using a microcontroller was the ability to work with development board, when the necessary parts (resistors, diodes, transistors, etc.) are connected to the controller without the need for soldering.

Most Arduino boards have a connection via USB cable. Such a connection allows you to provide power to the board and load sketches, i.e. mini-programs. The programming process is also extremely simple. First, the user uses the IDE's code editor to create necessary program, then it is loaded with one click in Arduino.

How to buy Arduino?

The board and many Arduino parts are made in Italy, therefore, the original components are quite expensive. But there are individual components construction sets or sets, the so-called kit sets, which are produced according to the Italian analogy, but at more affordable prices.

You can buy an analogue on the domestic market or, for example, order it from China. Many people know about the AliExpress website, for example. But for those starting their acquaintance with Arduino, it is better to order their first board from a Russian online store. Over time, you can switch to buying circuit boards and parts in China. The delivery time from this country will be from two weeks to a month, and, for example, the cost of a large kit kit will be no more 60-70 dollars.

Standard kits usually include the following parts:

• bread board;
• LEDs;
• resistors;
• 9V batteries;
• voltage regulators;
• buttons;
• jumpers;
• matrix keyboard;
• expansion boards;
• capacitors.

Do you need to know programming?

The first steps in working with the Arduino board begin with programming the board. A program that is already ready to work with a board is called a sketch. There is no need to worry about not knowing programming. The process of creating programs is quite simple, and there are a lot of examples of sketches on the Internet, since the Arduino community is very large.

After the program is compiled, it is loaded (flashed) onto the board. Arduino in this case has undeniable advantage– In most cases, a USB cable is used for programming. Immediately after loading, the program is ready to execute various commands.

Beginners with Arduino need to know two key functions:

• setup()– used once when the board is turned on, used to initialize settings;
• loop()– used constantly, is the final stage of setup.

Example of a function notation setup():

void setup() ( Serial.begin(9600); // Open a serial connection pinMode(9, INPUT); // Assign pin 9 as an input pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Assign pin 13 as an output )

Function setup() is performed at the very beginning and only 1 time immediately after turning on or rebooting your device.

Function loop() executed after the setup() function. Loop is translated as loop or cycle. The function will be executed again and again. So the ATmega328 microcontroller (most Arduino boards contain this) will perform the loop function about 10,000 times per second.

You will also encounter additional features:

• pinMode– information input and output mode;
• analogRead– allows you to read the emerging analog voltage at the pin;
• analogWrite– recording analog voltage to the output pin;
• digitalRead– allows you to read the value of a digital output;
• digitalWrite– allows you to set the digital output value at a low or high level;
• Serial.print– translates project data into easy-to-read text.

In addition to this, Arduino beginners will like the fact that there are many libraries for boards, which are collections of functions that allow you to control the board or additional modules. The most popular include:

• reading and writing to storage,
• Internet connection,
• reading SD cards,
• stepper motor control,
• text rendering
• etc.

How to set up Arduino?

One of the main advantages of the designer is its safety regarding user settings. Key settings that are potentially harmful to the Arduino are protected and will not be accessible.

Therefore, even an inexperienced programmer can safely experiment and change various options, achieving desired result. But just in case, we highly recommend reading three important materials on how not to damage the board:

The classic Arduino program setup algorithm looks like this:

• IDE installation, which can be downloaded below or from the manufacturer's website;
• installation software to the PC you are using;
• launch Arduino file;
• entering the developed program into the code window and transferring it to the board (using a USB cable);
• in the IDE section you need to select the type of constructor that will be used. This can be done in the “tools” - “boards” window;
• check the code and click “Next”, after which the download to Arduino will begin.

Version	Windows	MacOS	Linux

1.8.2	Zip Installer	Installer	32 bits 64 bits ARM
1.8.5	Zip Installer App	Installer	32 bits 64 bits ARM

Let's train our hand

In order to confidently implement complex ideas, use the software environment and Arduino, beginners need to get their hands on it. To do this, it is recommended to master easier tasks and projects first.

The simplest project you can do is to make the LED, which is located on the Arduino board opposite the port, blink every second.

To do this you need:

• connect the designer to the PC,
• open the program, in the “service” section we look for the “serial port” block
• select the required interval
• after which you need to add the code that is in the Arduino IDE in the "Examples" section.

The first projects in Arduino for beginners can be:

• flashing LED;
• connecting and controlling a temperature sensor;
• connecting and controlling a motion sensor;
• connecting a photoresistor;
• servo drive control.

First project

Now we have reached our first project. Let's connect Arduino, LED and button. This project is perfect for beginners.

Our scheme will be like this:

The LED will light up after pressing the button, and will go off after the next press. The sketch or program for Arduino itself will be like this:

// pins of connected devices int switchPin = 8; int ledPin = 11; // variables to store the state of the button and LED boolean lastButton = LOW; boolean currentButton = LOW; boolean ledOn = false; void setup() ( pinMode(switchPin, INPUT); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); ) // function for debouncing boolean debounse(boolean last) ( boolean current = digitalRead(switchPin); if(last != current) ( delay (5); current = digitalRead(switchPin); ) return current; ) void loop() ( currentButton = debounse(lastButton); if(lastButton == LOW && currentButton == HIGH) ( ledOn = !ledOn; ) lastButton = currentButton ; digitalWrite(ledPin, ledOn); )

You may have noticed the debounse function, which we haven't written about yet. It is needed for.

After you have mastered the initial skills of working with a board, you can begin to implement more complex and multifaceted tasks. The designer allows you to create an RC car, a controllable helicopter, create your own phone, create a system, etc.

To speed up your mastering of working with the Arduino board, we recommend that you start making devices from our section, where the processes for creating the most interesting devices and gadgets are described step by step.

The Arduino programming language for beginners is presented in detail in the table below. The Arduino microcontroller is programmed in a special programming language based on C/C++. The Arduino programming language is a variant of C++, in other words, there is no separate programming language for Arduino. You can download the PDF book at the end of the page.

In the Arduino IDE, all written sketches are compiled into a program in C/C++ with minimal changes. The Arduino IDE compiler greatly simplifies writing programs for this platform and creating devices on Arduino becomes much more accessible to people who do not have extensive knowledge of the C/C++ language. Below we will give a short reference describing the main functions of the Arduino language with examples.

Detailed reference to the Arduino language

The language can be divided into four sections: statements, data, functions and libraries.

Arduino language	Example	Description
Operators
setup()	void setup() { pinMode(3, INPUT); }	The function is used to initialize variables, determine the operating modes of pins on the board, etc. The function runs only once, after each power supply to the microcontroller.
loop()	void loop() { digitalWrite(3, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(3, LOW); delay(1000); }	The loop function loops around, allowing the program to perform and react to calculations. The setup() and loop() functions must be present in every sketch, even if these statements are not used in the program.
Control statements
if	… if(x> if(x< 100) digitalWrite (3, LOW ); …	The if statement is used in combination with comparison operators (==, !=,<, >) and checks whether the condition is true. For example, if the value of the variable x is greater than 100, then the LED at output 13 turns on; if it is less, the LED turns off.
if..else	… if (x > 100) digitalWrite (3, HIGH ); else digitalWrite(3, LOW); …	The else statement allows you to make a check other than the one specified in the if, in order to perform several mutually exclusive checks. If none of the checks receive a TRUE result, then the block of statements in else is executed.
switch...case	… switch(x) { case 3: break ; } …	Similar to if, switch statement controls the program, allowing you to specify actions that will be performed under different conditions. Break is a command to exit a statement; default is executed if no alternative is selected.
for	void setup() { pinMode(3, OUTPUT); } void loop() { for (int i=0; i<= 255; i++){ analogWrite(3, i); delay(10); } }	The for construct is used to repeat statements enclosed in curly braces. For example, smooth dimming of an LED. The for loop header consists of three parts: for (initialization; condition; increment) - initialization is performed once, then the condition is checked, if the condition is true, then the increment is performed. The loop repeats until condition becomes false.
while	void loop() { while(x< 10) { x = x + 1; Serial.println(x); delay(200); } }	The while statement is used as a loop that will execute as long as the condition in parentheses is true. In the example, the while loop statement will repeat the code in parentheses endlessly until x is less than 10.
do...while	void loop() { do { x = x + 1; delay(100); Serial.println(x); } while(x< 10); delay(900); }	The do...while loop statement works in the same way as the while loop. However, if the expression in parentheses is true, the loop continues rather than exits the loop. In the example above, if x is greater than 10, the addition operation will continue, but with a pause of 1000 ms.
break continue	switch(x) { case 1: digitalWrite (3, HIGH ); case 2: digitalWrite (3, LOW ); case 3: break ; case 4: continue ; default : digitalWrite (4, HIGH ); }	Break is used to force exit from switch, do, for and while loops without waiting for the loop to complete. The continue statement skips the remaining statements in the current loop step.
Syntax
; (semicolon)	… digitalWrite(3, HIGH); …	A semicolon is used to mark the end of a statement. Forgetting a semicolon at the end of a line results in a compilation error.
{} (braces)	void setup() { pinMode(3, INPUT); }	The opening parenthesis “(” must be followed by the closing parenthesis “)”. Unmatched parentheses can lead to hidden and unintelligible errors when compiling a sketch.
// (a comment)	x = 5; // a comment

In this article, I decided to put together a complete step-by-step guide for Arduino beginners. We will look at what Arduino is, what you need to start learning, where to download and how to install and configure the programming environment, how it works and how to use the programming language, and much more that is necessary to create full-fledged complex devices based on the family of these microcontrollers.

Here I will try to give a condensed minimum so that you understand the principles of working with Arduino. For a more complete immersion in the world of programmable microcontrollers, pay attention to other sections and articles of this site. I will leave links to other materials on this site for a more detailed study of some aspects.

What is Arduino and what is it for?

Arduino is an electronic construction kit that allows anyone to create a variety of electro-mechanical devices. Arduino consists of software and hardware. The software part includes a development environment (a program for writing and debugging firmware), many ready-made and convenient libraries, and a simplified programming language. The hardware includes a large line of microcontrollers and ready-made modules for them. Thanks to this, working with Arduino is very easy!

With the help of Arduino you can learn programming, electrical engineering and mechanics. But this is not just an educational constructor. Based on it, you can make really useful devices.
Starting from simple flashing lights, weather stations, automation systems and ending with smart home, CNC machines and unmanned aerial vehicles. The possibilities are not even limited by your imagination, because there are a huge number of instructions and ideas for implementation.

Arduino Starter Kit

In order to start learning Arduino, you need to acquire the microcontroller board itself and additional parts. It is best to purchase an Arduino starter kit, but you can choose everything you need yourself. I recommend choosing a set because it's easier and often cheaper. Here are links to the best sets and individual parts that you will definitely need to study:

Basic Arduino kit for beginners:	Buy
Large set for training and first projects:	Buy
Set of additional sensors and modules:	Buy
Arduino Uno is the most basic and convenient model from the line:	Buy
Solderless breadboard for easy learning and prototyping:	Buy
Set of wires with convenient connectors:	Buy
LED set:	Buy
Resistor kit:	Buy
Buttons:	Buy
Potentiometers:	Buy

Arduino IDE development environment

To write, debug and download firmware, you need to download and install the Arduino IDE. This is a very simple and convenient program. On my website I have already described the process of downloading, installing and configuring the development environment. Therefore, here I will simply leave links to the latest version of the program and to

Arduino programming language

When you have a microcontroller board in your hands and a development environment installed on your computer, you can start writing your first sketches (firmware). To do this, you need to become familiar with the programming language.

Arduino programming uses a simplified version of the C++ language with predefined functions. As in other C-like programming languages, there are a number of rules for writing code. Here are the most basic ones:

• Each instruction must be followed by a semicolon (;)
• Before declaring a function, you must specify the data type returned by the function, or void if the function does not return a value.
• It is also necessary to indicate the data type before declaring a variable.
• Comments are designated: // Inline and /* block */

You can learn more about data types, functions, variables, operators and language constructs on the page on You do not need to memorize and remember all this information. You can always go to the reference book and look at the syntax of a particular function.

All Arduino firmware must contain at least 2 functions. These are setup() and loop().

setup function

In order for everything to work, we need to write a sketch. Let's make the LED light up after pressing the button, and go out after the next press. Here's our first sketch:

// variables with pins of connected devices int switchPin = 8; int ledPin = 11; // variables to store the state of the button and LED boolean lastButton = LOW; boolean currentButton = LOW; boolean ledOn = false; void setup() ( pinMode(switchPin, INPUT); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); ) // function for debouncing boolean debounse(boolean last) ( boolean current = digitalRead(switchPin); if(last != current) ( delay (5); current = digitalRead(switchPin); ) return current; ) void loop() ( currentButton = debounse(lastButton); if(lastButton == LOW && currentButton == HIGH) ( ledOn = !ledOn; ) lastButton = currentButton ; digitalWrite(ledPin, ledOn); )

// variables with pins of connected devices int switchPin = 8 ; int ledPin = 11 ; // variables to store the state of the button and LED boolean lastButton = LOW ; boolean currentButton = LOW ; boolean ledOn = false ; void setup() ( pinMode(switchPin, INPUT); pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // function for debouncing boolean debounse (boolean last ) ( boolean current = digitalRead(switchPin); if (last != current ) ( delay(5); current = digitalRead(switchPin); return current ; void loop() ( currentButton = debounse(lastButton); if (lastButton == LOW && currentButton == HIGH ) ( ledOn = ! ledOn; lastButton = currentButton ; digitalWrite(ledPin, ledOn);

In this sketch, I created an additional debounse function to suppress contact bounce. There is information about contact bounce on my website. Be sure to check out this material.

PWM Arduino

Pulse width modulation (PWM) is the process of controlling voltage using the duty cycle of a signal. That is, using PWM we can smoothly control the load. For example, you can smoothly change the brightness of an LED, but this change in brightness is obtained not by decreasing the voltage, but by increasing the intervals of the low signal. The operating principle of PWM is shown in this diagram:

When we apply PWM to the LED, it starts to quickly light up and go out. The human eye is not able to see this because the frequency is too high. But when shooting video, you will most likely see moments when the LED is not lit. This will happen provided that the camera frame rate is not a multiple of the PWM frequency.

Arduino has a built-in pulse width modulator. You can use PWM only on those pins that are supported by the microcontroller. For example, Arduino Uno and Nano have 6 PWM pins: these are pins D3, D5, D6, D9, D10 and D11. The pins may differ on other boards. You can find a description of the board you are interested in in

To use PWM in Arduino there is a function. It takes as arguments the pin number and the PWM value from 0 to 255. 0 is 0% fill with a high signal, and 255 is 100%. Let's write a simple sketch as an example. Let's make the LED light up smoothly, wait one second and fade out just as smoothly, and so on ad infinitum. Here is an example of using this function:

// The LED is connected to pin 11 int ledPin = 11; void setup() ( pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); ) void loop() ( for (int i = 0; i< 255; i++) { analogWrite(ledPin, i); delay(5); } delay(1000); for (int i = 255; i >0; i--) ( analogWrite(ledPin, i); delay(5); ) )

// LED connected to pin 11 int ledPin = 11 ; void setup() ( pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); void loop() ( for (int i = 0 ; i< 255 ; i ++ ) { analogWrite(ledPin, i); delay(5); delay(1000); for (int i = 255; i > 0; i -- ) (

Arduino is an open platform that allows you to build all kinds of electronic devices. Arduino will be of interest to creatives, designers, programmers and all inquisitive minds who want to build their own gadget.

Programming of micro-controller boards Arduino/Freduino is considered. The structure and functioning of microcontrollers, the Arduino programming environment, the necessary tools and components for conducting experiments are described. The basics of programming Arduino boards, program structure, commands, operators and functions, analog and digital data input/output are discussed in detail.

The presentation of the material is accompanied by more than 80 examples on the development of various devices, temperature relays, school clocks, digital voltmeters, alarms with a motion sensor, street lighting switches, etc. A list is provided for each project necessary components, wiring diagram and program listings.
