### **Arduino Programming Structure – Detailed Explanation with Example**

*(13-Mark Answer – Key Points + Flowchart)*

## **1. Introduction to Arduino Programming**

Arduino uses a simplified version of **C/C++** with predefined functions for embedded
systems. Programs are called **"Sketches"** and follow a structured format.

---

## **2. Basic Structure of an Arduino Program**

Every Arduino sketch has **two mandatory functions**:

ES&IOT nOTES…..
### **1. `setup()`**

- Runs **once** at startup.

- Used to initialize:

- Pin modes (`INPUT`/`OUTPUT`).

- Serial communication (`Serial.begin(9600)`).

- Libraries (e.g., `#include <DHT.h>`).

### **2. `loop()`**

- Runs **continuously** (like a `while(1)` loop).

- Contains the main logic:

- Reading sensors.

- Processing data.

- Controlling actuators.

---

## **3. Example: Blinking an LED (Basic Program)**

```cpp

// Pin Definitions

const int ledPin = 13; // Built-in LED on Arduino Uno

void setup() {

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set LED pin as OUTPUT

void loop() {

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Turn LED ON

ES&IOT nOTES…..
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second

digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Turn LED OFF

delay(1000); // Wait 1 second

```

### **Explanation:**

1. **`setup()`** → Configures `ledPin` (Pin 13) as output.

2. **`loop()`** → Toggles LED ON/OFF every second.

---

## **4. Advanced Example: Temperature-Controlled Fan (DHT11 + Motor)**

```cpp

#include <DHT.h>

#define DHTPIN 2 // DHT11 connected to Pin 2

#define DHTTYPE DHT11

#define MOTOR_PIN 9 // Motor connected to Pin 9

DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

void setup() {

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(MOTOR_PIN, OUTPUT);

dht.begin();

void loop() {

ES&IOT nOTES…..
float temp = dht.readTemperature(); // Read temperature

Serial.print("Temperature: ");

Serial.println(temp);

if (temp > 30) {

digitalWrite(MOTOR_PIN, HIGH); // Turn fan ON

Serial.println("Fan ON");

} else {

digitalWrite(MOTOR_PIN, LOW); // Turn fan OFF

Serial.println("Fan OFF");

delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds

```

### **Explanation:**

1. **`setup()`** → Initializes serial monitor, motor pin, and DHT11 sensor.

2. **`loop()`** → Reads temperature → If >30°C, turns on fan.

---

## **5. Flowchart (Text-Based Representation)**

```plaintext

START

Initialize (setup())

ES&IOT nOTES…..

Read Sensor (loop())

Process Data (Condition Check)

[Temp > 30°C?] → Yes → Activate Motor

│ (digitalWrite HIGH)

No → Deactivate Motor

(digitalWrite LOW)

Delay (2 sec)

Repeat (loop())

(Continuously)

```

## **6. Key Points to Remember**

1. **Mandatory Functions**:

- `setup()` → Runs once.

- `loop()` → Runs infinitely.

2. **Common Functions**:

- `pinMode()` → Sets pin as INPUT/OUTPUT.

ES&IOT nOTES…..
- `digitalWrite()` → Writes HIGH/LOW to a pin.

- `analogRead()` → Reads analog sensors (0–1023).

- `Serial.begin()` → Starts serial communication.

3. **Libraries**:

- Used for sensors (e.g., `DHT.h`, `LiquidCrystal.h`).

4. **Real-Time Control**:

- Sensors → Read data → Actuators respond.

## **7. Applications**

- Home automation (Light control with LDR).

- Weather stations (DHT11 + LCD).

- Robotics (Ultrasonic sensor + Motor).

## **8. Conclusion**

Arduino’s simple structure (`setup()` + `loop()`) makes it ideal for embedded systems and IoT.
Real-time sensor-actuator control is achieved through conditional logic in `loop()`.
