Arduino Software CSE P567 Winter, 2010

Essential Arduino Programming Information

• The Duemilanove Board - Describes the board we are using.
• A Really Basic Introduction to writing Arduino sketches - Only if you know nothing about C programming.
• Programming Language Reference - The place to start.
• Programming Language Extended Reference - More complete language reference.
• Lots of Example Programs
• Digital Pins - The details of the digital pins.
• Direct Port Minipulation - Using the pins by reading and writing the port registers directly.
• Analog Input Pins
• Analog Output Pins - The details of using PWM on analog output pins.
• Serial Interface - This describes the library routines for setting up the serial interface and reading and writing to it. Use the Serial Monitor in the IDE to communicate with your board via the USB serial interface.
• External Interrupts - Using external interrupts.
• Interrupts and Timers - How to program the timers and generate timer interrupts directly.
• Example of timer interrupt code

Advanced Information

• AVR libc Reference - Documentation on the libraries available for the AVR.
• Running the compiler from the command line - Compile and download Arduino without using the Arduino IDE.
