About Software

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino

consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller)
and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your
computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with
electronics, and for good reason. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the
Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new
code onto the board – user can simply use a USB cable. Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a
simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program. Finally, Arduino provides a
standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the micro-controller into a more accessible
package.

Arduino programs may be written in any programming language with a compiler that
produces binary machine code. Atmel provides a development environment for their
microcontrollers, AVR Studio and the newer Atmel Studio.

The Arduino project provides the Arduino integrated development environment (IDE),
which is a cross-platform application written inJava. It originated from the IDE for
the Processing programming language project and the Wiring project.

It is designed to introduce programming to artists and other newcomers unfamiliar with

software development. It includes a code editor with features such assyntax highlighting, brace
matching, and automatic indentation, and provides simple one-click mechanism for compiling
and loading programs to an Arduino board. A program written with the IDE for Arduino is called
a "sketch".
Programming Support

The Arduino IDE supports the C and C++ programming languages using special rules of
code organization. The Arduino IDE supplies a software library called "Wiring" from the Wiring
project, which provides many common input and output procedures. A typical Arduino C/C++
sketch consist of two functions that are compiled and linked with a program stub main() into an
executable cyclic executive program:

 setup(): a function that runs once at the start of a program and that can initialize settings.
 loop(): a function called repeatedly until the board powers off.

After compilation and linking with the GNU toolchain, also included with the IDE
distribution, the Arduino IDE employs the programavrdude to convert the executable code into a
text file in hexadecimal coding that is loaded into the Arduino board by a loader program in the
board's firmware.

Sample program

A typical program for a beginning Arduino programmer blinks a light-emitting diode (LED) on
and off. This program is usually loaded in the Arduino board by the manufacturer.

#define LED_PIN 13
void setup() {
pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT); // Enable pin 13 for digital output
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH); // Turn on the LED
delay(1000); // Wait one second (1000 milliseconds)
digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW); // Turn off the LED
delay(1000); // Wait one second
}

5V Relay Module

A 5V relay module is an electromechanical switch that is commonly used in electronic circuits to

control high-power devices with low-power signals. Here's a brief overview of its components
and working principle:

Components:

 Coil: The relay coil is an electromagnet that generates a magnetic field when a current
flows through it.
 Contacts: The relay has one or more sets of contacts, which are the actual switch
terminals. These contacts are typically made of conductive metal and are either normally
open (NO), normally closed (NC), or have both configurations.

Working Principle:
  De-energized State: When no current flows through the coil, the relay is in its default
state. Depending on the relay type, the contacts can be normally open or normally closed.
 Energized State: When a current is applied to the coil (typically 5V for a 5V relay), it
generates a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts the movable armature, causing the
contacts to change state.
 Switching Functionality: In a normally open (NO) configuration, the contacts are closed
(connected) when the relay is energized. Conversely, in a normally closed (NC)
configuration, the contacts are open (disconnected) when the relay is energized.
 Isolation: Relays provide electrical isolation between the control circuit (coil) and the
switched circuit (contacts). This isolation is beneficial for protecting sensitive electronic
components from high-power loads.

Usage:

 Control Signal: The relay coil is typically controlled by a low-power signal, such as
from a microcontroller or a sensor.
 Switching High-Power Loads: The contacts of the relay can be used to switch high-
power loads such as motors, lights, heaters, or other electrical appliances.
 Applications: Relays find applications in various electronic projects, automation
systems, robotics, home appliances, and industrial controls.
