Microcontroller
• A microcontroller is a small computer on a single

integrated circuit.
• A microcontroller contains
– one or more processor
– memory and
– programmable input/output peripherals.

Microcontroller
• Microcontrollers are "embedded" inside some other

device (often a consumer product)
• Microcontrollers are dedicated to one task and run

one specific program.
• Microcontrollers are often low-power devices.
• A microcontroller is often small and low cost.

UPLOAD ADIOES.PDE TO THE ARDUINO BOARD
1. Connect the Arduino, make sure that the

right board and serial port are selected in the
IDE, (Tools/Board and Tool/Serial Port) then
select
2. File -> Upload to I/O Board and wait for the

"Done Uploading" message

Step 1 :From the Arduino IDE, go to
File -> Open, locate the file adioes.pde
Figure 11 Open file adioes.pde in Arduino IDE

Step 2: Connect the Arduino, make sure that the right
board and serial port are selected in the IDE

Defining PIN mode : Input / Output
• Configure a pin no 13 as output
– pinMode(a,13,'output');
