Getting Started with LED's

Now since we know how an Arduino works let us have some fun with the board.

For those of you who are new kindly have a look at the link given below.
http://sudolearn.blogspot.com/2017/05/getting-started-with-arduino.html
Let us first design a smart led blinking system which will blink how we want it to, sounds fun right.



So let’s begin
Components Required

  • Resistor                        1No.  330ohms (Standard Red LED and 5V Input)
  • Led                               1No.
  • Arduino UNO              1No.
  • Few Connecting wires
  • Breadboard
Follow the below video for circuit connection reference:

Now since we have made the circuit let us do the coding part


// declare the pin to which LED is connected:
int led = 5; 
//The below is the setup block the part which we want to run only once we declare them in this block
void setup() // initialize the digital pin as an output.
{
pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() //The code we write inside void loop runs over and over again in loop :
{
digitalWrite(led, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(led, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

We can introduce delay according to our need Arduino IDE takes values in milliseconds inside the function delay, in the above code 1000 means a delay of 1 sec so if you want to increase or decrease the delay change the values accordingly. You can also use the function delayMicroseconds() if you want to give input in microseconds.
  • Arduino has an inbuilt Led at Pin no.13


The digital pin no. 13 of UNO is actually the 5th pin of port B (Atmega328 IC).

Which we have mapped using the boot-loader firmware.

LED Brightness Control using Touch Sensor and ARM

Hey Folks, In this tutorial, we will learn, how to change  the intensity of light using touch sensor the ARM (FRDM-KL25Z). INTRODUCTION The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor.  The FRDM-KL25Z has been designed by NXP in collaboration with mbed for prototyping all sorts of devices, especially those requiring the size and price point offered by Cortex-M0+ and the power of USB Host and Device. The FRDM-KL25Z is supported by a range of NXP and third-party development software. It is packaged as a development board with connectors to break out to stripboard and breadboard and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.               FEATURES NXP KL25Z Kinetis KL2x MCU (MKL25Z128VLK4) High-performance ARM® Cortex™-M0+ Core 48MHz, 16KB RAM, 128KB FLASH USB (Host/Device) SPI (2) I2C (2) UART (3) PWM (TPM) ...
