# Arduino Cheatsheet ## Overview of unique features - Microcontroller platform - Simplified C++ programming language - Integrated development environment (IDE) - Built-in functions for interacting with hardware - Wide range of compatible sensors and modules - Real-time processing capabilities ## Variables ```C++ // Declare a variable int x = 42; // Declare a constant const int y = 10; // Declare an array int myArray[3] = {1, 2, 3}; // Declare a string String myString = "hello"; ``` ## Functions ```C++ // Declare a function int add(int x, int y) { return x + y; } // Call a function int result = add(3, 4); ``` ## Loops ```C++ // Define a for loop for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // do something } // Define a while loop while (condition) { // do something } ``` ## Conditionals ```C++ // Define an if-else statement int max(int x, int y) { if (x > y) { return x; } else { return y; } } ``` ## Interacting with hardware ```C++ // Set up a digital pin int ledPin = 13; void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); } // Turn on and off the LED void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(1000); digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(1000); } ``` ## Resources - [Arduino documentation](https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/) - [Arduino programming language tutorial](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Foundations) - [Arduino forum](https://forum.arduino.cc/) for community support and troubleshooting.
