Arduino Basics

What does IDE stand for?

• Integrated Development Environment

• In Deep Environment

• Internal Deep Escape

• IDE

Which command is called repetitively over and over again as long as the Arduino has power.

• loop ( )

• delay( )

• setup ( )

• input( )

Which command is called when a sketch starts. Use it to initialize variables, pin modes, start using libraries, etc. It will only run once, after each power up or reset of the Arduino board.

• loop ( )

• delay( )

• setup ( )

• input( )

Used to end a statement

• !

• "

• ;

• \

These tell the Arduino software when the setup section begins and ends. Without them, the software is lost and unable to compile your code. Think of these as additional punctuation that your code requires. Your code must be perfectly punctuated to compile.

• ( )

• [ ]

• < >

• { }

Single line comment

• //

• &&

• <=

• >=

Comparison operator which means greater than or equal to.

• //

• &&

• <=

• >=

This is used to include outside libraries in your sketch. This gives the programmer access to a large group of standard C libraries (groups of pre-made functions), and also libraries written especially for Arduino.

• #include

• #define

• #library

• #find

This allows the programmer to give a name to a constant value before the program is compiled. It does not take up any program memory space on the chip. The compiler will replace references to these constants with the defined value at compile time.

• #include

• #define

• #library

• #find

Comparison operator which means not equal to.

• ++

• ==

• --

• !=
