[Discussion] Arduino Basics

The document provides an Arduino sketch to blink an LED on pin 13, detailing the setup and loop functions along with a custom toggleLED function. It explains the structure of the program, including the use of variables, data types, and digital I/O operations for controlling the LED. The sketch uses a static variable to efficiently manage the LED's on/off state.

// Define LED pin as a constant variable

#define LED_PIN 13

void setup() {

pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output

void loop() {

toggleLED(); // Call function to toggle LED

delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

// Function to toggle LED state

void toggleLED() {

static bool ledState = false; // Variable to store LED state

ledState = !ledState; // Toggle state (true -> false, false -> true)

digitalWrite(LED_PIN, ledState ? HIGH : LOW); // Update LED

Here’s another version of an Arduino sketch to blink an LED on pin 13, along with an explanation.

Arduino Sketch (Alternative Version):

// Define LED pin as a constant variable

#define LED_PIN 13

void setup() {

pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output


}

void loop() {

toggleLED(); // Call function to toggle LED

delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

// Function to toggle LED state

void toggleLED() {

static bool ledState = false; // Variable to store LED state

ledState = !ledState; // Toggle state (true -> false, false -> true)

digitalWrite(LED_PIN, ledState ? HIGH : LOW); // Update LED

Structure Explanation:

1. setup() Function:

o Runs once at startup.

o Initializes pin 13 as an output using pinMode().

2. loop() Function:

o Runs repeatedly after setup().

o Calls toggleLED() to change the LED state.

3. toggleLED() Function:

o Uses a static variable to track the LED state.

o Flips the state and updates the LED accordingly.

Programming Constructs:

 Variables:

o #define LED_PIN 13 defines a constant for the LED pin.

o static bool ledState = false; stores the LED state.

 Data Types:

o bool (Boolean) is used for the LED state (true/false).


 Functions:

o setup(), loop(), and the custom toggleLED() function.

Digital I/O Operations:

 pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); sets pin 13 as an output.

 digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); turns the LED on.

 digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); turns it off.

 Static variable toggles the LED state efficiently.
