This document summarizes prototyping and designing software for IoT applications using Arduino Uno. It discusses the setup() and loop() functions needed to define executable programs, and the digitalWrite() function to write HIGH or LOW values to digital pins. An example code is provided to set digital pin 13 as an output and toggle it between HIGH and LOW every second using digitalWrite() and delay() functions.

PROTOTYPING AND DESIGNING THE
SOFTWARE FOR IOT APPLICATIONS

2. ARDUINO UNO

3. • Only two functions are necessary to define
executable program functions for the board
namely
setup() – runs at the start and is used for
initialising settings
loop() – has a program in endless loop using
statement ‘while(true){statements;}’which
runs till power off

4. digitalWrite()
[Digital I/O]
• Write a HIGH or a LOW value to a digital pin.
Syntax
• digitalWrite(pin, value)
Parameters
• pin: the pin number
• value: HIGH or LOW

5. • It is recommended to set
the pinMode() to INPUT_PULLUP to enable the
internal pull-up resistor.
• If you do not set the pinMode() to OUTPUT, and
connect an LED to a pin, when
calling digitalWrite(HIGH), the LED may appear dim.
• Without explicitly
setting pinMode(), digitalWrite() will have enabled
the internal pull-up resistor, which acts like a large
current-limiting resistor.

6. The code makes the digital pin 13 an OUTPUT and toggles it by alternating
between HIGH and LOW at one second pace.
void setup()
{
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin 13 as output
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // sets the digital pin 13
on delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // sets the digital pin 13
off delay(1000); // waits for a second
}
