Installation instructions

Requirement
Arduino software , arduino board with cable

Step 1: Download Arduino IDE Software.
Download page on the Arduino Official website. You have to pick software, which is compatible with your operating system (Windows, IOS, or Linux). After your file download is complete, unzip the file.
Opening Arduino Nightly Windows
Step 2: Power up arduino board.

Connect the Arduino board to your computer using the USB cable. The green power LED (labeled PWR) should glow.
Step 3: Launching Arduino IDE.
After your Arduino IDE software is downloaded, you need to unzip the folder. Inside the folder, you can find the application icon with an infinity label (application.exe). Double-click the icon to start the IDE.
Launch Arduino IDE
Step 4: Now Open your first project.
Once the software starts, you have two options −
  • Creating a new project.
  • Openning an existing project sample.
To create a new project, select File >>>>>>  New.
Edit File
Launching an existing project example, go to File >>>>>> Examples.
Open Project
Now go to File >>>>>> Examples>>>>>> Basics >>>>> fade (we now want to upload the board)
Open Project

Step 5: Select your Arduino board.
You have to select the correct Arduino board name, that matches with the board connected to your computer else you will get while uploading your program to the board, .
Navigate to Tools >>>> Board and select your board.
Select Board
We have selected Arduino Uno board , but note you must select the name matching the board that you are using.
Step 6: Select your serial port.
Navigate to Tools >>> Serial Port This is likely to be COM3 or higher (COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved for hardware serial ports). To find out, you can disconnect your Arduino board and re-open the menu, the entry that disappears should be of the Arduino board. Reconnect the board and select that serial port.
Serial Port
Step 7: − Uploading program to your board.
You can use icon yellow in color in the Arduino IDE toolbar for you to upload sketch(code).
Upload program
Click the "Upload" button in the environment. Wait a few seconds; you will see the RX and TX LEDs on the board, flashing. You should be able to see, the message "Done uploading" in the status bar If the upload is successful.

Arduino function libraries~Math Library Function

  Arduino Math Library Arduino Math library includes a number of useful mathematical functions for manipulating floating-point numbers. Functions are defined in the header math.h #include < math.h > double cos (double __x) // returns cosine of x double fabs (double __x) // absolute value of a float double fmod (double __x, double __y) // floating point modulo double modf (double __value, double *__iptr) // breaks the argument value into // integral and fractional parts double sin (double __x) // returns sine of x double sqrt (double __x) // returns square root of x double tan (double __x) // returns tangent of x double exp (double __x) // function returns the exponential value of x. double atan (double __x) // arc tangent of x double atan2 (double __y, double __x) // arc tangent of y/x double log (double __x) // natural logarithm of x double log10 (double __x) // logarithm of x to base 10. double pow (do...

Project 6: Arduino print hello

Image
   In this aricle, I’ll explain how to connect  LCD (Liquid Crystall Display) on an Arduino and  all the different ways you can program it, print msg, scroll msg, make custom characters, blink msg, and position msg. Before going to to print hello or any text on LCD (Liquid Crystall Display ) you must know a brief about i2c communication .   I2C LCD comes handy making use of only 2 pins (SDA & SCL) and this will help you to reduce number of wires in our circuit SCL is the clock signal SDA is the data signal.    Hardware Required 1 × Arduino UNO or Genuino UNO 1 × USB 2.0 cable type A/B 1 × LCD                                                                                    n × Jumper Wires and BreadBoard       ...
