Starting over

Something is wrong

Individual assignment:

  • Read the data sheet for your microcontroller
  • Use your programmer to program your board to do something
  • EXTRA CREDIT: try other programming languages and development environments

Group assignment:

  • compare the performance and development workflows for other architectures

Code Example

Arduino Blinking LED Code

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board

void setup() {  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
   pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever

void loop() {
   digitalWrite(2, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
   delay(1000); // wait for a second
   digitalWrite(2, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
   delay(1000); // wait for a second
