SpitFire-666 / arduino

arduino stuff

General

• May have to set a different processor option per board

• Setting COM port to a faster speed increases upload speed

Power Saving

an Arduino Nano draws less power than the Arduino UNO, and the Pro-Mini draws less than the Nano.

Sketches

Onboard LED - blink

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

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

Stepper motor

28BYJ-48 Unipolar Stepper with ULN2003 driver

• Driver accepts 12V BUT 5V motor doesn't like it, so use 5V

ESP8266

• Add addiitonal board manager URL: File, Preferences http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

• Set board type

LED Blink

• Note, onboard LED is inverted - LOW turns it on!
• Onboard LED is connected to GPIO2

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

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                       // wait for a second
}

Stepper motor

• use AccelStepper.h for stepper motors
