In addition, the IDE is free and open source, as is the bootloader that gets your code from the IDE and onto the Arduino.

Baby Steps: LED

Arduino


LED is Light Emitting Diode. Diodes are one-way elements (electricity does not ﬂow backwards).

The long pin is the anode, which connects to positive current.

The short pin is the cathode, which connects to negative current (the ground).

The glass enclosure usually has a ﬂat side to indicate the cathode.

Arduino Vcc


#define LED_PIN 11
#define BUTTON_PIN 7

void setup()
{
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
pinMode(BUTTON_PIN, INPUT);
}

void loop()

Analog Input

ARef

Arduino
Analog 5


The center pin is the output pin. The Arduino reads it as a value between 0 and 1023.

The other pins are connected to the Arduino's AREF (Analog Reference) voltage pin, and to ground.

#define LED_PIN 11
#define POT_PIN 5

void setup()
{
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
int potValue = analogRead(POT_PIN);

analogWrite(LED_PIN, potValue >> 2);
}
