Welcome to today’s lecture on the basic structure of an Arduino Uno sketch. Arduino Uno is a
widely-used open-source microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P microcontroller. It is an
essential tool for beginners and experts in electronics and programming, providing a straightforward
platform for developing interactive electronic projects.
An Arduino sketch is the name given to a program that is written using the Arduino programming
language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing).
Arduino sketches are written and uploaded to the Arduino board to interact with the real world
through sensors, actuaries, lights, motors, and more.
1. setup()
2. loop()
1. setup() Function
This function is called when a sketch starts. It is used to initialize variables, pin modes, start using
libraries, etc. The setup() function will only run once, after each powerup or reset of the Arduino
board.
Example:
2. loop() Function
After setup() runs once, the loop() function is called repeatedly, allowing your program to change
and respond. It's the core of every Arduino sketch, and it is where the bulk of your program's logic
will reside.
Example:
void loop() { digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // Wait for a second digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED off by making
the voltage LOW delay(1000); // Wait for a second }
Besides setup() and loop(), there are several other elements commonly used in Arduino sketches:
Variables
Variables are used to store data that your Arduino sketch needs to operate. Declaration of variables
typically occurs at the beginning of the sketch.
Example:
Functions
You can define your own functions, which are blocks of code that perform a specific task. Functions
help in keeping your code organized and more readable.
Example:
Libraries
Libraries provide extra functionality for use in your sketches. For example, to control a servo motor,
you might include the <Servo.h> library.
Example:
#include <Servo.h> // Include the Servo library Servo myServo; // Create a servo object
void setup() { myServo.attach(9); // Attach the servo to pin 9 } void loop() {
myServo.write(90); // Set servo to mid-position delay(1000); myServo.write(0); // Move
servo to position 0 delay(1000); }
Example:
Conclusion
Understanding the basic structure of an Arduino sketch is crucial for anyone looking to venture into
the world of electronics and programming using Arduino. Today, we've covered the fundamental
aspects of an Arduino program, including setup, loop, variable declaration, custom functions,
libraries, and basic debugging. With these tools, you are well on your way to creating more complex
and varied projects.

Introduction
Today, we're going to explore the variables and data types in the Arduino Uno environment.
Understanding how to use these effectively is fundamental to creating efficient and functional
Arduino programs. Variables are used to store data that your program can modify, and each variable
has a type that specifies what kind of data it can hold.
What is a Variable?
A variable in programming is a storage location paired with an associated symbolic name, which
contains some known or unknown quantity of information referred to as a value. The variable name
is the usual way to reference the stored value, in addition to referring to the variable itself,
depending on the context.
Arduino is based on C/C++, so it uses the same data types found in these languages, with some
additional features specific to the Arduino environment.
1. Integer Types:
byte: An 8-bit unsigned number ranging from 0 to 255. It is used for data that has a size of
a byte.
2. Character Type:
char: An 8-bit number used to store characters. Ranges from -128 to 127.
float: A 32-bit (4-byte) floating-point number used for decimal numbers. It has a precision
double: On most Arduino boards, it is synonymous with float. However, on Arduino Due, it
Boolean Type
String: Used to store a sequence of characters (text). This type has a rich set of functions for
string manipulation.
Declaring Variables
Variables need to be declared with a specific type before they can be used. The declaration involves
specifying the type of the variable, followed by a name you choose for the variable.
int ledPin = 13; // Declare an integer variable to hold the pin number. float
temperature = 25.7; // Declare a floating-point variable for temperature. char grade =
'A'; // Declare a character variable for storing a grade. bool isOn = true; // Declare a
boolean variable to store state.
Global Variables: Declared outside any function and are available throughout the life of the
program.
Local Variables: Declared inside functions and are only available within that function.
Variables are used to hold data that may change or to make the code more readable and
maintainable.
Example:
Arithmetic Operations: Addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), and division (/).
Comparison Operations: Equals (==), not equals (!=), greater than (>), less than (<), etc.
Conclusion
In this lecture, we explored the various data types and variables in Arduino programming, including
how to declare them and use them within an Arduino sketch. Understanding these fundamentals is
crucial for programming effectively in Arduino, as it allows you to store and manipulate data within
your projects. Next, we will look into how these variables can be used in real Arduino projects to
interact with hardware.
Introduction
In today's lecture, we'll delve into the concept of functions and function prototypes in the context of
Arduino programming. Understanding functions is crucial for writing clean, readable, and reusable
code, particularly in complex projects.
A function is a block of code that performs a specific task. It typically takes some input called
parameters, performs an operation, and may return a result. Functions allow you to break down
complex problems into smaller, manageable tasks. They also help avoid redundancy and increase the
modularity of the code.
Structure of a Function
Return type: The type of data that the function will return. It can be any data type, including
void if no value is returned.
Parameters: Optional variables passed into the function to be used within. Parameters are
enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas.
Syntax:
Function Prototypes
A function prototype, also known as a function declaration, tells the compiler about a function's
return type, its name, and parameters (but no body). It's a declaration of the function at the
beginning of the file (or before it is used for the first time in the code), which is particularly useful in
managing and organizing large programs.
Forward Declaration: Allows you to define functions in any order without having to worry about
their placement in the code.
Readability and Structure: It makes the program easier to read and maintain by providing a
clear overview of all functionalities at the beginning.
int addTwoNumbers(int, int); // Function prototype void setup() { // Setup code here }
void loop() { int result = addTwoNumbers(5, 10); Serial.println(result); } int
addTwoNumbers(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
Functions in Arduino are used extensively to interact with hardware components, structure the
program, and handle repetitive tasks.
In this example, toggleLED() is a function that toggles the state of the built-in LED on the Arduino
board.
Best Practices
Descriptive Names: Choose function names that clearly describe what the function does.
Parameter Passing: Use pointers or references for large data structures to avoid copying large
amounts of data.
Consistency: Maintain consistent coding style for function declarations and definitions.
Conclusion
Functions and function prototypes are fundamental concepts in Arduino programming that help in
organizing code, making it more readable, and reusable. They allow programmers to break down
complex tasks into simpler sub-tasks, making the program easier to manage and extend. By
mastering functions, you can significantly enhance your Arduino programming skills and manage
larger and more complex projects efficiently.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore the control structures commonly used in Arduino programming,
focusing on conditional statements like if, else, and switch-case. These structures enable decision
making in code, allowing different actions to be taken based on variable conditions.
Control structures direct the flow of execution of a program. They are foundational for creating
interactive and dynamic behavior in your Arduino projects. By using control structures, you can
execute certain parts of your code based on specific conditions or repeatedly based on loops (which
we will cover separately).
1. if Statement
The if statement is the most basic of all control structures and is used to execute a block of code
only if a specified condition is true.
Syntax:
Example:
In this example, the LED is turned on only when the button connected to pin 3 is pressed.
2. else Statement
The else statement complements the if statement. It allows you to execute a block of code when
the if condition is false.
Syntax:
Example:
Here, the LED is turned off when the button is not pressed, ensuring the LED's state always reflects
the button's state.
3. else if Statement
To test multiple conditions sequentially, use the else if statement. It is useful when you have more
than two possible conditions.
Syntax:
int score = 85; if (score > 90) { Serial.println("Excellent"); } else if (score > 75) {
Serial.println("Very Good"); } else { Serial.println("Good"); }
This example provides feedback based on a score, displaying different messages for different score
ranges.
4. switch-case Statement
The switch-case control structure is used when you need to perform different actions based on the
value of a variable. It's an efficient alternative to multiple if statements.
Syntax:
switch (variable) { case value1: // code for when variable equals value1 break; case
value2: // code for when variable equals value2 break; default: // code if variable does
not match any case break; }
Example:
char grade = 'B'; switch (grade) { case 'A': Serial.println("Excellent"); break; case
'B': Serial.println("Very Good"); break; case 'C': Serial.println("Good"); break; case
'D': Serial.println("Poor"); break; default: Serial.println("Fail"); break; }
This example evaluates a character variable and prints different texts based on its value.
Conclusion
Control structures are essential for making decisions in Arduino scripts, allowing the program to
react differently under varying conditions. By effectively using if, else, else if, and switch-case
statements, you can create flexible and responsive Arduino applications. Understanding and
implementing these structures will greatly enhance your ability to manage the flow of execution and
handle multiple conditions in your projects.
make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Loops (for, while, do-
while)
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore the concept of loops in Arduino programming. Loops allow you to
execute a block of code repeatedly, making them essential for tasks that require repetitive actions,
such as reading sensor data, controlling actuators, and more.
1. for Loop
The for loop is used to execute a block of code a specified number of times. It consists of three
parts: initialization, condition, and increment/decrement.
Syntax:
Example:
This for loop will iterate five times, printing the iteration number from 0 to 4.
2. while Loop
The while loop repeats a block of code as long as a specified condition is true. It is useful when the
number of iterations is not known before the loop starts.
Syntax:
Example:
This while loop will also iterate five times, printing the iteration number from 0 to 4.
3. do-while Loop
The do-while loop is similar to the while loop, but it guarantees that the code inside the loop will
execute at least once before checking the condition.
Syntax:
Example:
This do-while loop will also iterate five times, printing the iteration number from 0 to 4.
break: Terminates the loop and transfers control to the statement immediately after the loop.
continue: Skips the current iteration of the loop and continues with the next iteration.
Example of break:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i == 5) { break; // exit the loop when i equals 5 }
Serial.println(i); }
Example of continue:
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { if (i == 5) { continue; // skip iteration when i equals
5 } Serial.println(i); }
Conclusion
Loops are fundamental for repetitive tasks in Arduino programming. Understanding how to use for,
while, and do-while loops, along with loop control statements like break and continue, will help you
write efficient and flexible Arduino sketches. By mastering loops, you can create more complex and
interactive projects with ease.
make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Digital and Analog I/O
(Digital Input and Output)
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore digital input and output operations in Arduino Uno. Understanding
how to use digital pins to read input from sensors and control output to actuators is fundamental for
building interactive projects.
Digital Input
Digital input involves reading the state of a digital pin, which can be either HIGH (5V) or LOW (0V).
Common uses of digital input include reading from buttons, switches, and digital sensors.
int buttonPin = 2; // Define the digital pin for the button int buttonState; //
Variable to store the button state void setup() { pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); // Set the
button pin as input Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void loop() {
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // Read the button state
Serial.println(buttonState); // Print the button state (HIGH or LOW) delay(100); //
Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Digital Output
Digital output involves setting the state of a digital pin to either HIGH or LOW. Common uses of
digital output include controlling LEDs, relays, and other digital devices.
int ledPin = 13; // Define the digital pin for the LED void setup() { pinMode(ledPin,
OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); //
Turn the LED on (HIGH voltage) delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second digitalWrite(ledPin,
LOW); // Turn the LED off (LOW voltage) delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second }
When using switches or buttons with Arduino, it's common to use pull-up or pull-down resistors to
ensure the pin reads a consistent value when the switch is open. Arduino has built-in pull-up
resistors that can be enabled with pinMode(pin, INPUT_PULLUP).
int buttonPin = 2; // Define the digital pin for the button void setup() {
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); // Enable internal pull-up resistor
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void loop() { int buttonState =
digitalRead(buttonPin); // Read the button state Serial.println(buttonState); // Print
the button state (HIGH or LOW) delay(100); // Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Conclusion
Digital input and output are essential concepts in Arduino programming, allowing you to interact
with a wide range of sensors and actuators. By mastering these operations, you can create projects
that respond to external stimuli and perform various tasks based on predefined conditions.
make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Analog Input (Reading
Sensors)
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore analog input operations in Arduino Uno. Analog input allows you to
read data from sensors that provide a continuous range of values, such as light sensors, temperature
sensors, and potentiometers.
Arduino Uno has a built-in Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that converts the analog voltage into a
digital value. The ADC on the Uno has 10-bit resolution, meaning it can represent analog values from
0 to 1023 (2^10 - 1).
Arduino Uno has six analog input pins labeled A0 to A5, which can be used to read analog signals.
These pins can also be used as digital pins (A0 as digital pin 14 through A5 as digital pin 19).
To read analog input, you use the analogRead() function, which returns a value between 0 and 1023
representing the voltage on the analog pin (0V to 5V).
int potPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the potentiometer int potValue; //
Variable to store the potentiometer value void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Start
serial communication } void loop() { potValue = analogRead(potPin); // Read the
potentiometer value Serial.println(potValue); // Print the potentiometer value
delay(100); // Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Often, the analog sensor's range does not match the desired range for your application. You can use
the map() function to scale the sensor's output to the desired range.
int potPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the potentiometer int ledPin = 9; //
Define the digital pin for the LED int brightness; // Variable to store the LED
brightness void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void loop() { int potValue =
analogRead(potPin); // Read the potentiometer value brightness = map(potValue, 0, 1023,
0, 255); // Map the potentiometer value to LED brightness analogWrite(ledPin,
brightness); // Set the LED brightness Serial.println(brightness); // Print the
brightness value delay(100); // Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Conclusion
Analog input in Arduino Uno allows you to read data from sensors that provide a continuous range
of values. By understanding how to use the analogRead() function and how to map analog values to
the desired range, you can effectively read data from sensors and control outputs based on sensor
inputs in your Arduino projects.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore analog output using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in Arduino Uno.
PWM is a technique used to simulate analog output by rapidly switching a digital signal on and off
at varying intervals to create an average voltage level.
PWM is achieved by rapidly turning a digital signal on and off. The ratio of time the signal is on
(high) to the total time of one cycle is called the duty cycle. By varying the duty cycle, you can
control the average voltage output.
Arduino Uno has 6 PWM pins, labeled as 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. These pins can be used with the
analogWrite() function to generate a PWM signal.
Using analogWrite()
The analogWrite() function is used to generate a PWM signal on a PWM-capable pin. It takes two
arguments: the pin number and the duty cycle value (ranging from 0 to 255).
int ledPin = 9; // Define the PWM pin for the LED int brightness = 0; // Initial
brightness value void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output }
void loop() { analogWrite(ledPin, brightness); // Set the LED brightness brightness =
(brightness + 5) % 256; // Increase brightness (0 to 255) in steps of 5 delay(50); //
Delay for smoother transition }
PWM is commonly used to control the speed of DC motors. By varying the duty cycle, you can
control the average voltage applied to the motor and thus its speed.
int motorPin = 9; // Define the PWM pin for the motor int motorSpeed = 0; // Initial
motor speed void setup() { pinMode(motorPin, OUTPUT); // Set the motor pin as output }
void loop() { analogWrite(motorPin, motorSpeed); // Set the motor speed motorSpeed =
(motorSpeed + 5) % 256; // Increase speed (0 to 255) in steps of 5 delay(50); // Delay
for smoother speed change }
PWM can be used to control the intensity of each color (red, green, blue) in an RGB LED to create
different colors.
int redPin = 9; // Define the PWM pin for the red LED int greenPin = 10; // Define the
PWM pin for the green LED int bluePin = 11; // Define the PWM pin for the blue LED void
setup() { pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT); // Set the red LED pin as output pinMode(greenPin,
OUTPUT); // Set the green LED pin as output pinMode(bluePin, OUTPUT); // Set the blue
LED pin as output } void loop() { analogWrite(redPin, 255); // Set red to maximum
intensity (255) analogWrite(greenPin, 0); // Set green to minimum intensity (0)
analogWrite(bluePin, 128); // Set blue to mid intensity (128) }
Conclusion
PWM in Arduino Uno allows you to simulate analog output for controlling LED brightness, motor
speed, and RGB LED color mixing. By understanding PWM and using the analogWrite() function, you
can create dynamic and adjustable outputs in your Arduino projects.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to interface Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) with Arduino Uno. LEDs
are commonly used in electronics projects to indicate the status of a circuit, provide visual feedback,
or create lighting effects.
Basics of LEDs
Anode and Cathode: LEDs have two legs, with the longer leg being the anode (positive) and the
shorter leg being the cathode (negative).
Forward Voltage: LEDs require a specific voltage, known as the forward voltage, to turn on. For
most standard LEDs, this voltage is around 2V to 3.3V.
Current Limiting Resistor: To prevent excessive current flow and protect the LED, a current-
limiting resistor is used in series with the LED.
To interface a single LED with Arduino Uno, connect the longer leg (anode) of the LED to a digital pin
on the Arduino through a current-limiting resistor. Connect the shorter leg (cathode) of the LED to
ground (GND).
Example Circuit:
Example Code:
int ledPin = 13; // Define the digital pin for the LED void setup() { pinMode(ledPin,
OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); //
Turn the LED on delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn the
LED off delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second }
To interface multiple LEDs with Arduino Uno, you can use the same principle as above, connecting
each LED to a separate digital pin. Ensure each LED has its current-limiting resistor.
Example Code:
int ledPin1 = 13; // Define the digital pin for the first LED int ledPin2 = 12; //
Define the digital pin for the second LED void setup() { pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT); //
Set the first LED pin as output pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT); // Set the second LED pin as
output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin1, HIGH); // Turn the first LED on
digitalWrite(ledPin2, HIGH); // Turn the second LED on delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(ledPin1, LOW); // Turn the first LED off digitalWrite(ledPin2, LOW); //
Turn the second LED off delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second }
Conclusion
Interfacing LEDs with Arduino Uno is a simple yet fundamental aspect of electronics and
microcontroller programming. By understanding the basics of LEDs and using appropriate resistors,
you can easily control LEDs to create visual effects or indicate the status of your Arduino projects.
In this lecture, we will explore how to interface buttons and switches with Arduino Uno. Buttons and
switches are commonly used in electronics projects to provide user input or control the behavior of a
circuit.
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC): Buttons and switches can be either normally
open (NO), where the circuit is open when not pressed, or normally closed (NC), where the
circuit is closed when not pressed.
Pull-up and Pull-down Resistors: To ensure a stable reading, buttons and switches are often
used with pull-up or pull-down resistors. Pull-up resistors connect the input pin to the high
voltage (5V) when the button is not pressed, while pull-down resistors connect the input pin to
ground (GND) when the button is not pressed.
Interfacing a Button
To interface a button with Arduino Uno, connect one leg of the button to a digital pin on the
Arduino and the other leg to either 5V (for a pull-up configuration) or GND (for a pull-down
configuration) through a current-limiting resistor. Use the internal pull-up resistor of the Arduino if
available.
Example Code:
int buttonPin = 2; // Define the digital pin for the button bool buttonState; //
Variable to store the button state void setup() { pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); //
Enable internal pull-up resistor Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication }
void loop() { buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // Read the button state
Serial.println(buttonState); // Print the button state (HIGH or LOW) delay(100); //
Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Interfacing a Switch
To interface a switch with Arduino Uno, connect one leg of the switch to a digital pin on the Arduino
and the other leg to either 5V or GND through a current-limiting resistor, similar to interfacing a
button.
Example Code:
int switchPin = 3; // Define the digital pin for the switch void setup() {
pinMode(switchPin, INPUT_PULLUP); // Enable internal pull-up resistor } void loop() {
int switchState = digitalRead(switchPin); // Read the switch state if (switchState ==
LOW) { // Check if the switch is pressed // Perform some action } }
Conclusion
Interfacing buttons and switches with Arduino Uno allows you to incorporate user input into your
projects. By understanding how to use pull-up or pull-down resistors and read the state of buttons
and switches, you can create interactive and responsive Arduino applications.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to interface Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) with Arduino Uno. LCDs
are commonly used to display text and numbers in electronic projects, providing a visual interface
for user interaction or data presentation.
Types of LCDs
Character LCDs: These displays can show a limited number of characters (usually 16x2 or 20x4)
and are commonly used for basic text display.
Graphic LCDs: These displays can show graphics and are more complex to interface compared
to character LCDs.
To interface a character LCD with Arduino Uno, you will need to connect the following pins:
VSS and VDD: Connect to GND and 5V for power supply, respectively.
RS (Register Select): Connect to a digital pin (e.g., 7) to select between data and command
modes.
Example Circuit:
Example Code:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h> // Initialize the library with the numbers of the interface
pins LiquidCrystal lcd(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12); void setup() { // Set up the LCD's number
of columns and rows lcd.begin(16, 2); } void loop() { // Print a message to the LCD
lcd.setCursor(0, 0); lcd.print("Hello, Arduino!"); delay(1000); lcd.clear();
delay(1000); }
Conclusion
Interfacing LCD displays with Arduino Uno allows you to create projects with visual feedback and
user interaction. By understanding the basic principles of connecting and controlling LCDs, you can
incorporate displays into your Arduino projects for a more engaging user experience.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to read analog sensors such as temperature and light sensors
with Arduino Uno. Analog sensors provide continuous data that can be converted to digital values
using the Arduino's Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
Analog Sensors
Temperature Sensor (TMP36): The TMP36 is a low voltage, precision centigrade temperature
sensor that provides an analog voltage output proportional to temperature.
Light Dependent Resistor (LDR): An LDR's resistance changes based on the amount of light
falling on it, making it suitable for light sensing applications.
To interface a TMP36 temperature sensor with Arduino Uno, connect its pins as follows:
VCC: Connected to 5V
Example Circuit:
Example Code:
int sensorPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the sensor float voltage,
temperatureC, temperatureF; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial
communication } void loop() { int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); // Read the
sensor value voltage = sensorValue * (5.0 / 1023.0); // Convert the sensor value to
voltage temperatureC = (voltage - 0.5) * 100.0; // Convert voltage to temperature in
Celsius temperatureF = (temperatureC * 9.0 / 5.0) + 32.0; // Convert temperature to
Fahrenheit Serial.print("Temperature (C): "); Serial.print(temperatureC);
Serial.print("\tTemperature (F): "); Serial.println(temperatureF); delay(1000); // Delay
between readings }
To interface an LDR with Arduino Uno, connect it in a voltage divider configuration with a fixed
resistor. Connect one end of the LDR to 5V, the other end to GND through a resistor, and the
junction between the LDR and resistor to an analog pin (e.g., A0).
Example Circuit:
Example Code:
int sensorPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the sensor int sensorValue,
lightLevel; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void
loop() { sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); // Read the sensor value lightLevel =
map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 100); // Map sensor value to percentage (0-100%)
Serial.print("Light Level: "); Serial.print(lightLevel); Serial.println("%");
delay(1000); // Delay between readings }
Conclusion
Reading analog sensors with Arduino Uno allows you to incorporate real-world data into your
projects. By understanding how to interface and read data from sensors like the TMP36 temperature
sensor and LDR, you can create projects that respond to environmental changes and provide useful
information to users.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to use potentiometers with Arduino Uno. Potentiometers, or
"pots," are variable resistors that can be used to control the voltage in a circuit. They are commonly
used in electronics projects to provide adjustable input.
Basics of Potentiometers
Three Pins: Potentiometers typically have three pins: the middle pin (wiper) and two outer pins
(endpoints). The wiper moves along a resistive strip, changing the resistance between the
middle pin and the endpoints.
Variable Resistance: By turning the knob of a potentiometer, you change the resistance between
the middle pin and one of the endpoints, allowing you to control the voltage across the
potentiometer.
Interfacing a Potentiometer
To interface a potentiometer with Arduino Uno, connect one of the outer pins to 5V, the other outer
pin to GND, and the middle pin to an analog pin (e.g., A0).
Example Circuit:
Example Code:
int potPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the potentiometer int potValue; //
Variable to store the potentiometer value void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // Start
serial communication } void loop() { potValue = analogRead(potPin); // Read the
potentiometer value Serial.print("Potentiometer Value: "); Serial.println(potValue);
delay(100); // Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Potentiometers can be used to control various aspects of your project, such as LED brightness, motor
speed, or sound volume. By reading the analog value from the potentiometer, you can map it to a
specific range of values to control these parameters.
int potPin = A0; // Define the analog pin for the potentiometer int ledPin = 9; //
Define the digital pin for the LED void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the
LED pin as output Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void loop() { int
potValue = analogRead(potPin); // Read the potentiometer value int brightness =
map(potValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255); // Map potentiometer value to LED brightness
analogWrite(ledPin, brightness); // Set the LED brightness Serial.print("Potentiometer
Value: "); Serial.println(potValue); delay(100); // Delay to avoid rapid reading }
Conclusion
Potentiometers are versatile components that can be used to provide adjustable input in your
Arduino projects. By understanding how to interface and read data from potentiometers, you can
create projects that respond dynamically to user input and provide a customizable user experience.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to control servo motors with Arduino Uno. Servo motors are
widely used in robotics and automation to control the position of objects or devices with high
precision.
Control Signal: Servo motors require a control signal, typically a pulse width modulation (PWM)
signal, to determine the position to which they should move.
Angular Range: Servo motors have a limited angular range over which they can rotate, typically
around 0 to 180 degrees.
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM): Arduino Uno can generate PWM signals using the Servo
library to control the position of a servo motor.
Example Circuit:
The Servo library simplifies servo motor control. You can use the attach() function to specify the
signal pin and the write() function to set the angle of the servo motor.
Example Code:
While servo motors are typically used for position control, some servos allow you to control the
speed of rotation by adjusting the rate at which you change the angle.
#include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; // Create a servo object int pos = 0; // Variable to
store the servo position void setup() { myservo.attach(9); // Attach the servo to pin 9
} void loop() { for (pos = 0; pos <= 180; pos += 1) { // Sweep from 0 to 180 degrees
myservo.write(pos); // Set the servo position delay(15); // Delay for smoother motion }
for (pos = 180; pos >= 0; pos -= 1) { // Sweep from 180 to 0 degrees myservo.write(pos);
// Set the servo position delay(15); // Delay for smoother motion } }
Conclusion
Controlling servo motors with Arduino Uno allows you to add precise motion control to your
projects. By understanding how to interface and control servo motors using the Servo library, you
can create projects that involve moving parts or objects with high accuracy and repeatability.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to control DC (Direct Current) motors with Arduino Uno. DC
motors are commonly used in robotics and automation for their simplicity and controllability.
Basics of DC Motors
Direction and Speed Control: DC motors can be controlled in terms of both direction of
rotation and speed.
PWM for Speed Control: To control the speed of a DC motor, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is
often used. PWM varies the average voltage applied to the motor, thereby controlling its speed.
Interfacing a DC Motor
To interface a DC motor with Arduino Uno, you will need an H-Bridge motor driver IC such as the
L298N. Connect the motor driver IC to Arduino Uno and the DC motor as follows:
Enable Pins (ENA, ENB): Connect to PWM-capable digital pins on Arduino (e.g., 6 and 9).
Input Pins (IN1, IN2, IN3, IN4): Connect to digital pins on Arduino for controlling motor
direction (e.g., 7, 8, 10, 11).
Motor Power: Connect to an external power source (e.g., 9V battery) through the motor driver.
By varying the PWM duty cycle, you can control the speed of the DC motor. Higher duty cycles
correspond to higher speeds.
int enableA = 6; int in1 = 7; int in2 = 8; void setup() { pinMode(enableA, OUTPUT);
pinMode(in1, OUTPUT); pinMode(in2, OUTPUT); } void loop() { analogWrite(enableA, 200);
// Set speed to 200/255 (approx. 78%) digitalWrite(in1, HIGH); // Set direction forward
digitalWrite(in2, LOW); delay(2000); // Run motor for 2 seconds digitalWrite(in1, LOW);
// Stop motor digitalWrite(in2, LOW); delay(1000); // Pause for 1 second }
Controlling Direction
To change the direction of the motor, simply change the logic levels on the input pins connected to
the H-Bridge.
int enableA = 6; int in1 = 7; int in2 = 8; void setup() { pinMode(enableA, OUTPUT);
pinMode(in1, OUTPUT); pinMode(in2, OUTPUT); } void loop() { analogWrite(enableA, 200);
// Set speed to 200/255 (approx. 78%) digitalWrite(in1, HIGH); // Set direction forward
digitalWrite(in2, LOW); delay(2000); // Run motor forward for 2 seconds
digitalWrite(in1, LOW); // Change direction to reverse digitalWrite(in2, HIGH);
delay(2000); // Run motor reverse for 2 seconds digitalWrite(in1, LOW); // Stop motor
digitalWrite(in2, LOW); delay(1000); // Pause for 1 second }
Conclusion
Controlling DC motors with Arduino Uno allows you to add motion to your projects. By using an H-
Bridge motor driver and PWM signals, you can control both the direction and speed of DC motors,
enabling a wide range of applications in robotics, automation, and more.
In this lecture, we will explore serial communication with Arduino Uno. Serial communication is a
method of transmitting data between a microcontroller and other devices using a serial protocol.
TX/RX Pins: Arduino Uno has two pins dedicated to serial communication: TX (transmit) and RX
(receive).
Baud Rate: Baud rate is the rate at which data is transmitted in bits per second (bps). Both the
Arduino and the device it communicates with must use the same baud rate for successful
communication.
To interface serial communication with Arduino Uno, connect the TX pin of the Arduino to the RX pin
of the other device, and vice versa. Make sure to connect the ground (GND) pins of both devices
together.
Example Circuit:
No circuit is needed for serial communication, only the wiring between the Arduino and the other
device.
Arduino Uno can send and receive data through its serial interface using the Serial object. Use
Serial.begin() to initialize the serial communication at a specific baud rate and Serial.print() or
Communication Protocols
Serial communication is just one type of communication protocol. Other protocols, such as I2C and
SPI, allow for more complex communication between devices. However, serial communication is
simple and effective for many applications.
Conclusion
Introduction

popular serial communication protocol that allows multiple devices to communicate with each other
using just two wires.
Two-Wire Communication: I2C uses two wires for communication: SDA (Serial Data Line) and
SCL (Serial Clock Line).

communicate with it.
To interface I2C devices with Arduino Uno, you need to connect the following pins:
VCC and GND: Connect the power and ground of the I2C device to the corresponding pins on
Arduino Uno.
Arduino Uno uses the Wire library to communicate over the I2C bus. The Wire library provides
functions to send and receive data using I2C.
There are many I2C devices available, such as sensors, displays, and EEPROMs, that can be easily
interfaced with Arduino Uno using the Wire library. Each device will have its own address and
communication protocol.
Conclusion

microcontroller. By understanding how to use the Wire library with Arduino Uno, you can interface
with a wide range of I2C devices and create complex and interconnected projects.

is a synchronous serial communication protocol commonly used to communicate between
microcontrollers and peripheral devices such as sensors, displays, and memory chips.
MOSI (Master Out Slave In): Data line from master to slave.
SS (Slave Select): Line used by the master to select the slave device with which it wants to
communicate.

make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Interfacing with Sensors
using I2C
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to interface sensors with Arduino Uno using the I2C (Inter-
Integrated Circuit) protocol. I2C is a popular protocol for connecting multiple sensors and devices to
a microcontroller using only two wires.
I2C Addressing: Each sensor connected to the I2C bus has a unique address that the master
(Arduino Uno) uses to communicate with it.
Reading Sensor Data: Sensors connected via I2C typically provide data in a specific format, such
as temperature readings, distance measurements, or other sensor-specific data.
Wire Library: Arduino Uno uses the Wire library to communicate over the I2C bus.
To interface an I2C sensor with Arduino Uno, you need to connect the sensor's SDA and SCL pins to
the corresponding pins on the Arduino Uno (A4 and A5, respectively). Additionally, connect the
sensor's power (VCC) and ground (GND) pins to the appropriate pins on the Arduino Uno.
The Wire library simplifies I2C communication with Arduino Uno. You can use the Wire.begin()
function to initialize the I2C bus and the Wire.requestFrom() function to request data from the
sensor.
#include <Wire.h> #define SENSOR_ADDRESS 0x68 // I2C address of the sensor void setup()
{ Wire.begin(); // Initialize I2C communication Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial
communication } void loop() { Wire.beginTransmission(SENSOR_ADDRESS); // Begin
transmission to the sensor Wire.write(0x00); // Request data from register 0x00
Wire.endTransmission(); // End transmission delay(100); // Delay to allow sensor to
process request Wire.requestFrom(SENSOR_ADDRESS, 2); // Request 2 bytes of data from
sensor while (Wire.available()) { byte msb = Wire.read(); // Read the most significant
byte byte lsb = Wire.read(); // Read the least significant byte int sensorData = (msb <<
8) | lsb; // Combine the bytes to get sensor data Serial.print("Sensor Data: ");
Serial.println(sensorData); // Print the sensor data } delay(1000); // Delay before next
reading }
Conclusion
Interfacing sensors with Arduino Uno using the I2C protocol allows you to easily integrate a wide
range of sensors into your projects. By understanding the basics of I2C communication and using the
Wire library, you can read data from sensors and create complex and versatile projects that respond
to the environment.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to interface sensors with Arduino Uno using the SPI (Serial
Peripheral Interface) protocol. SPI is a synchronous serial communication protocol commonly used
for high-speed communication between microcontrollers and peripheral devices such as sensors,
displays, and memory chips.
Four-Wire Communication: SPI uses four wires for communication: SCK (Serial Clock), MOSI
(Master Out Slave In), MISO (Master In Slave Out), and SS (Slave Select).
Master-Slave Configuration: In SPI communication, one device acts as the master, which
controls the clock signal and selects the slave device, while one or more devices act as slaves.
Data Exchange: Data is exchanged between the master and slave devices in full-duplex mode,
meaning data can be sent and received simultaneously.
To interface an SPI sensor with Arduino Uno, you need to connect the sensor's SCK, MOSI, MISO, and
SS pins to the corresponding pins on the Arduino Uno. Additionally, connect the sensor's power
(VCC) and ground (GND) pins to the appropriate pins on the Arduino Uno.
The SPI library simplifies SPI communication with Arduino Uno. You can use the
SPI.beginTransaction() and SPI.endTransaction() functions to begin and end an SPI transaction,
#include <SPI.h> #define CS_PIN 10 // Chip select pin for the sensor void setup() {
SPI.begin(); // Initialize SPI communication pinMode(CS_PIN, OUTPUT); // Set CS_PIN as
output digitalWrite(CS_PIN, HIGH); // Set CS_PIN high (deselect the sensor)
Serial.begin(9600); // Start serial communication } void loop() { digitalWrite(CS_PIN,
LOW); // Select the sensor SPI.transfer(0x00); // Send a command byte (if needed) byte
sensorData = SPI.transfer(0x00); // Receive data from the sensor digitalWrite(CS_PIN,
HIGH); // Deselect the sensor Serial.print("Sensor Data: "); Serial.println(sensorData);
// Print the sensor data delay(1000); // Delay before next reading }
Conclusion
Interfacing sensors with Arduino Uno using the SPI protocol allows you to integrate a wide range of
sensors into your projects. By understanding the basics of SPI communication and using the SPI
library, you can read data from sensors and create complex and high-speed communication systems.
make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Using the delay() Function
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to use the delay() function in Arduino Uno. The delay() function
is used to pause the execution of a program for a specified amount of time, allowing you to control
the timing of your Arduino projects.
Syntax: The delay() function takes a single argument, which is the number of milliseconds to
pause the program.
Effect: While the delay() function is running, the Arduino Uno will not execute any other code.
This means that any actions or tasks that should occur during the delay will be paused.
Resolution: The delay() function has a resolution of approximately 1 millisecond. However, the
actual delay may vary slightly due to the execution time of other instructions in the loop.
Using the delay() Function
You can use the delay() function in various ways in your Arduino projects, such as creating delays
between actions, controlling the timing of sensor readings, or creating blinking patterns for LEDs.
int ledPin = 13; // Define the LED pin void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set
the LED pin as an output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn on the LED
delay(1000); // Delay for 1 second digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn off the LED
delay(1000); // Delay for 1 second }
While the delay() function is simple to use, it can cause your Arduino program to become
unresponsive if used excessively or for long periods. This is because delay() blocks the execution of
other code. To avoid this, consider using non-blocking techniques, such as using millis() for timing.
Conclusion
The delay() function is a useful tool for controlling timing in Arduino projects. By understanding
how to use delay(), you can create projects with precise timing and control the behavior of your
Arduino Uno. However, it's important to use delay() judiciously to avoid blocking the execution of
other code and ensure the responsiveness of your projects.
make detailed lecture using arduino uno :-Using the millis() Function
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to use the millis() function in Arduino Uno. Unlike the delay()
function, which pauses the program's execution, millis() allows you to create non-blocking delays
and time-sensitive actions in your Arduino projects.
Functionality: The millis() function returns the number of milliseconds since the Arduino
board began running the current program. It is based on the internal clock of the Arduino and is
not affected by delay() or other time-consuming operations.
Usage: By comparing the value returned by millis() to a target time, you can determine if a
certain amount of time has elapsed and trigger actions accordingly.
You can use millis() to create non-blocking delays and perform actions at specific intervals in your
Arduino projects. Here's a basic example of blinking an LED without using delay():
const int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 unsigned long previousMillis
= 0; // Stores the last time LED was updated const long interval = 1000; // Interval at
which to blink (milliseconds) void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin
as an output } void loop() { unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); // Get the current
time if (currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) { // If enough time has passed,
toggle the LED and reset the timer previousMillis = currentMillis; digitalWrite(ledPin,
!digitalRead(ledPin)); } }
Benefits of Using millis()
Non-blocking: Unlike delay(), which pauses the program, millis() allows your program to
continue running, making it ideal for time-sensitive actions.
Multiple Timings: You can manage multiple timing events in your program by using multiple
millis() variables and comparing them to different intervals.
Overflow: Remember that millis() will eventually roll over to 0 after a long period, so avoid
relying on precise timings over extended periods.
Timing Accuracy: While millis() is accurate enough for most applications, it may drift slightly
over time. If precise timing is critical, consider using an external real-time clock (RTC) module.
Conclusion
The millis() function is a powerful tool for creating non-blocking delays and time-sensitive actions
in Arduino projects. By understanding how to use millis(), you can create more responsive and
complex projects that require precise timing without using blocking delay() functions.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore how to create timers in Arduino Uno using the millis() function.
Timers are useful for executing actions at specific intervals or after a certain amount of time has
elapsed, without blocking the program's execution.
millis() Function: millis() returns the number of milliseconds since the Arduino board started
Timer Logic: By comparing the current millis() value to a target time, you can create timers
that trigger actions at specific intervals.
Here's an example of a simple timer that turns an LED on for 1 second and then off for 1 second:
const int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 unsigned long previousMillis
= 0; // Stores the last time LED was updated const long interval = 1000; // Interval at
which to blink (milliseconds) bool ledState = false; // Current state of the LED void
setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output } void loop() {
unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); // Get the current time if (currentMillis -
previousMillis >= interval) { // If enough time has passed, toggle the LED and reset the
timer previousMillis = currentMillis; ledState = !ledState; digitalWrite(ledPin,
ledState); } }
You can create multiple timers by using additional variables to track the timing for each event. Here's
an example of blinking two LEDs at different intervals:
const int ledPin1 = 13; // First LED connected to digital pin 13 const int ledPin2 =
12; // Second LED connected to digital pin 12 unsigned long previousMillis1 = 0; //
Stores the last time first LED was updated unsigned long previousMillis2 = 0; // Stores
the last time second LED was updated const long interval1 = 1000; // Interval for first
LED (milliseconds) const long interval2 = 500; // Interval for second LED (milliseconds)
bool ledState1 = false; // Current state of the first LED bool ledState2 = false; //
Current state of the second LED void setup() { pinMode(ledPin1, OUTPUT); // Set the
first LED pin as an output pinMode(ledPin2, OUTPUT); // Set the second LED pin as an
output } void loop() { unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); // Get the current time
if (currentMillis - previousMillis1 >= interval1) { previousMillis1 = currentMillis;
ledState1 = !ledState1; digitalWrite(ledPin1, ledState1); } if (currentMillis -
previousMillis2 >= interval2) { previousMillis2 = currentMillis; ledState2 = !ledState2;
digitalWrite(ledPin2, ledState2); } }
Conclusion
Creating timers in Arduino Uno using the millis() function allows you to execute actions at specific
intervals without blocking the program's execution. By understanding how to use millis() for
timing, you can create more dynamic and responsive Arduino projects.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore the concept of non-blocking code in Arduino Uno and how to write
code that allows your program to perform multiple tasks simultaneously without getting blocked.
Blocking Code: Blocking code is code that stops the program's execution until a certain
condition is met. For example, the delay() function is blocking because it pauses the program.
Non-blocking Code: Non-blocking code is code that allows the program to continue running
while waiting for a condition to be met. This is achieved by using techniques that do not pause
the program's execution.
The millis() function returns the number of milliseconds since the Arduino board started
running the current program.
By using millis(), you can create non-blocking delays by comparing the current time to a
target time.
const int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 unsigned long previousMillis
= 0; // Stores the last time LED was updated const long interval = 1000; // Interval at
which to blink (milliseconds) bool ledState = false; // Current state of the LED void
setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output } void loop() {
unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); // Get the current time if (currentMillis -
previousMillis >= interval) { // If enough time has passed, toggle the LED and reset the
timer previousMillis = currentMillis; ledState = !ledState; digitalWrite(ledPin,
ledState); } // Other non-blocking tasks can be performed here }
Responsive: Non-blocking code allows your program to respond to external events quickly.
Efficient: By avoiding delays, your program can perform multiple tasks simultaneously.
Flexible: Non-blocking code allows you to easily add new features without disrupting existing
functionality.
Timing: Use millis() carefully to ensure accurate timing, especially in long-running programs.
State Management: Keep track of the state of your program's various tasks to ensure they
operate correctly.
Conclusion
Writing non-blocking code in Arduino Uno allows you to create more responsive and efficient
programs. By using techniques such as millis() for timing, you can perform multiple tasks
simultaneously and create more complex Arduino projects.
Introduction
In this lecture, we will explore alternative methods for implementing delays in Arduino Uno without
using the delay() function. Using non-blocking techniques allows your Arduino to perform other
tasks while waiting for a delay to expire.
The delay() function pauses the execution of your program, which can be problematic if you need
your Arduino to perform other tasks during that time. Using non-blocking delays allows your
Arduino to remain responsive to other inputs and events.
The millis() function returns the number of milliseconds since the Arduino board began running
the current program. By using millis(), you can create non-blocking delays by comparing the
current time to a target time.
const int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 unsigned long previousMillis
= 0; // Stores the last time LED was updated const long interval = 1000; // Interval at
which to blink (milliseconds) bool ledState = false; // Current state of the LED void
setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set the LED pin as an output } void loop() {
unsigned long currentMillis = millis(); // Get the current time if (currentMillis -
previousMillis >= interval) { // If enough time has passed, toggle the LED and reset the
timer previousMillis = currentMillis; ledState = !ledState; digitalWrite(ledPin,
ledState); } // Other non-blocking tasks can be performed here }
Efficient: Your Arduino can perform other tasks while waiting for a delay to expire.
Flexible: Non-blocking delays can easily be integrated into more complex programs.
Considerations
Timing Accuracy: Using millis() for timing requires careful management to ensure accurate
timing over long periods.
State Management: Keep track of the state of your program's various tasks to ensure they
operate correctly.
Conclusion
Implementing delays without using the delay() function in Arduino Uno allows you to create more
responsive and efficient programs. By using techniques such as millis() for timing, you can perform
multiple tasks simultaneously and create more complex Arduino projects.

In this lecture, we will explore how to use the Servo library in Arduino Uno to control servo motors.
Servo motors are commonly used in robotics and other projects to control the position of objects,
such as robot arms or steering mechanisms.
The Servo library is a built-in Arduino library that provides functions for controlling servo
motors.
It allows you to control the position of a servo motor by specifying the desired angle.
1. Include the Servo Library: At the beginning of your sketch, include the Servo library using the
#include directive:
#include <Servo.h>
2. Create a Servo Object: Create a Servo object to control a servo motor. You can create multiple
Servo objects if you have multiple servo motors:
3. Attach the Servo Pin: In the setup() function, attach the servo pin to the Servo object using the
attach() function. Specify the pin number to which the servo is connected:
cpp Copy code
4. Control the Servo Position: To control the position of the servo, use the write() function.
Specify the desired angle (between 0 and 180 degrees):
Here's an example of how to use the Servo library to control a servo motor connected to pin 9:
Conclusion
The Servo library in Arduino Uno provides an easy way to control servo motors. By understanding
how to use the Servo library, you can add precise control of servo motors to your Arduino projects,
making them more dynamic and interactive.
