An introduction to Arduino

A micro-controller is...

• small CPU made of transistors and conductors of heat and sound sensor
• portable circuits capable of making other circuits
• small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals
• small chip made of silver

What does GPIO stand for?

• General Purpose Inner Outer Propeller
• General Purpose Input Output Pins
• General Purpose Interested Old People
• General Purpose Input Output Processor

What does IDE stand for?

• In Deep Environment
• Integrated Development Environment
• Internal Deep Escape
• IDE

How do you tell (give instructions) on what the Arduino board should do in an IDE?

• Editor
• Sketches
• Console
• IDE error

Before your program “code” can be sent to the board, it needs to be converted into instructions that the board understands. This process is called...

• Stop
• Compile
• Create Sketch
• Serial Monitor

This shows you what the IDE is currently doing and is also where error messages display if you make a mistake in typing your program. (often called a syntax error)

• Sketch Editor
• Text Console 
• Line Number
• Serial Monitor

This shows you what line number your cursor is on. It is useful since the compiler gives error messages with a line number

• Sketch Editor
• Text Console 
• Line Number
• Serial Monitor

A function is a series of programming statements that can be called by name. Which command is called once when the program starts:

• loop()
• setup()
• (output)
• (input)
