What’s Arduino IDE Software? Arduino software IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is an easy to use software for coding and programming Arduino and Arduino compatible boards such as ESP8266, ESP32, etc. This software is designed and developed by Arduino Company and is the main software for programming Arduino compatible boards. How to install Arduino IDE on Windows Step 1: First, download the latest version of the software here. Step 2: Open the downloaded file to start the software insta...

There are several examples in Arduino IDE to help you get up and running with Arduino boards. In this tutorial, you will learn about each of them. 1. Basics Analog Read Serial: To read the value of a potentiometer and to display it in the Monitor Serial. Bare Minimum: To create a simple sketch with the most basic parts of the coding (setup and loop). Blink: Turns an LED on and off flashing. Digital Read Serial: Reads the status of a switch and displays it in the Monitor Serial. Fade: To...

GP2Y0A21YK0F Infrared Sensor Features Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an IR sensor useing infrared wave to measure distance.

US-100 Distance Sensor Features The US-100 is an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver module used to measure distance. The sensor operation is very simple. You only need to measure the return time of ultrasonic waves in order to measure the distance. Then you can divide this time by 2 and multiplied by the sound speed. The sensor measuring range is about 2 to 450 cm. Note The US-100 module has 2 different communication protocol. Method 1: use serial communication Method 2: use Trigger and Echo (similar to ...

MC-38 Magnetic Sensor Anti Theft Alarm The MC38 is a magnetic switch. When a magnet (the wireless part of the sensor) approaches it, the sensor acts like a switch and the two pins are connected.This sensor is used to detect closed or open doors, windows and alarm systems. Note Magnetic switches are available in two types, Normally Open and Normally Close. In this tutorial we use a Normally Open switch that closes as the magnet approaches the sensor (the two sensor pins are connected). ...
