CHAPTER 1
Introduction to the Arduino

I N THIS CHAPTER I INTRODUCE YOU to the Arduino. I first give a brief explanation of what the Arduino is. I then specifically concentrate on the Arduino Mega 2560. I discuss the general features of the Arduino Mega 2560 including the capabilities and key functional components of the device. Next, I give a quick summary of languages that the Arduino uses which are C and C++. Next, I discuss the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software that is needed to develop programs for the Arduino. I cover each key function of the Arduino IDE and then conclude with a hands-on example where I give detailed step-by-step instructions on how to set up the Arduino for development and how to run an example program using the Arduino IDE.

What Is an Arduino?

The Arduino is an open-source microcontroller that uses the C and C++ languages to control digital and analog outputs to devices and electronics components and to read in digital and analog inputs from other devices and electronics components for processing. For example, the Arduino can read in information from a sensor to a home security system that would detect the heat that a human being emits and sends a signal to the Arduino to indicate that a human is in front of the sensor. After receiving this information the Arduino can send commands to a camera to start taking pictures of the intruder or intruders and save these images to an SD card for later viewing. It can also transmit a message over Wi-Fi to an Android cell phone so that a text alarm notification message is sent to the homeowner. The official web site of the Arduino is http://www.arduino.cc.

Why the Arduino Mega 2560?

There are many different Arduino models out there. However, in order to perform the examples in this book you will need an Arduino Mega 2560. The reason for this is that the Arduino Mega 2560 has many hardware serial ports that can communicate at high speed with the ESP-01 ESP8266 module that will be responsible for Wi-Fi communication. The Arduino UNO only has one hardware serial port that is already used for debugging with the Arduino IDEs serial monitor. A separate software serial port can be created on the Arduino UNO but it is unreliable at high speeds with many people reporting that any speed above 9600 baud is unreliable. Most of the recent ESP-01 modules being produced now are set to the default speed of 115,200 baud. Another consideration is the large amount of current that the ESP-01 module can draw. The ESP-01 module can draw up to 170 mA when operating under normal circumstances. If you add in the current drawn by other components attached to the Arduino, such as sensors, then the total might quickly add up to the maximum current allowed for the Arduino UNO which is around 400 mA. However, for the Arduino Mega 2560 the maximum allowed current is 800 mA which is considerably more. Also, please note that these maximum currents should not be sustained for long periods of time otherwise there could be damage to the Arduino board. This information comes from the official Arduino web site at https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/ArduinoPinCurrentLimitations.
