Firmware Two types of code executing on a simple microcontroller Application code Executes the systems main functionality We write this code Firmware Low-level code: supports the main function USB interface, power modes, reset, etc.
The distinction is a matter of perspective Arduino-firmware is pre-programmed 16 Direct programming 17
Bootloader Firmware on a microcontroller Allows the Flash and EEPROM to be programmed Manages USB communication since application programming is via USB 18 In-Circuit Serial Programming (ICSP) A special programming
method to program the firmware Needed because the bootloader cannot reprogram itself One ICSP header for each processor 19

Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) Menus with all commands Buttons with common commands
Text editor for writing code Message area 25 Arduino IDE Button
Function Verify Compiles code, checks for errors Upload Compiles code, checks for errors, uploads to board
New Creates a new sketch Open Opens an existing sketch Save
Saves your sketch to a file Serial Monitor Opens a window to communicate with the board 26 Compiling code
27 Compiling code Verify and Upload both compile Messages window will show either completion message or error messages Error messages will show line numbers
28 Serial monitor Displays serial data sent from the Arduino Allows serial data to be sent to the Arduino from the keyboard Library functions in the serial library
29 Arduino shields and libraries 30 Arduino shields Add-on boards that interface with another device/IC
Can be stacked directly on top of the Arduino Libraries exist to make interfacing simple Open source hardware, but most can be purchased Large variety of shields available Big advantage of the Arduino platform Fairly complete list is at http://shieldlist.org 31 Some Arduino shields
IMU shields: Measures 6DOF motion (acceleration and rotation) Synthesizer shields: Generates music Connects to speaker Ethernet shields:
Interfaces to Ethernet controllers Builds web servers/clients 32 Arduino basic setup 33 Set up the Arduino IDE Download the IDE
Easiest to run Windows Installer (http://www.arduino.cc) Also installs USB and other drivers Connect the board to your computer Use USB cable Launch the Arduino application Starts the IDE 34
Launch the Arduino IDE Open the Blink example FileExamplesBasicsBlink 35 Run a program Select your Arduino ToolsBoard menu
Select your serial port ToolsPort menu There should be only one selection (COM3, etc.) Upload the program with the upload button This writes the program onto the Flash of the Arduino The LED near pin 13 of the Arduino should blink
36 Arduino simulators 37 Tinkercad: Circuits Tinkercad http://tinkercad.com A free online collection of software tools that help people create and make
Simulates Arduino circuits and programs with a bunch of electronic components, sensors and actuators A good way to test your idea before you actually build 38 Tinkercad: Circuits 39
Lab 40 Blink example Set up the Arduino development environment Load the Blink example. Compile, download, and run. Modify blink intervals and check if it really works.
41 Tinkercad Go to http://tinkercad.com Register for your own account. Try several Arduino starter examples. Modify some codes, and check if it works. 42
