introduction to Arduino

LOLIN 32 Installation party :~)

Wemos LOLIN32 - ESP32

Pinout LOLIN D32 PRO

more info about the lolin32 is here: https://www.wemos.cc/en/latest/d32/d32_pro.html

step 1: download Arduino software

step 2: download driver for microcontroller

step 3: install driver

_windows: open Device Manager >> find UART device >> right click and update driver >> select driver

Hello World!

in the Arduino program, select the correct board (WEMOS LOLIN32) and select the USB port you are using (if you are unsure, check the listed ports, unplug and see what changed)

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Hello World!");   //sends a message to the computer
}

Simple Led blink example

Simple Led Blink Example

Simple Led Blink Example Schematics

// always use a "preresistor" with the LED, because the 5v coming from the microcontroller is too much
// a LED only consumes ~2.5 volt, the resistor the other volt
// 
 
int ledPin = 23;               //the int ledPin is 13

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT);      //ledPin is a OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin,HIGH);   //turns pin 13 on
  delay(500);                  //stops the loop for 500 milliseconds
  digitalWrite(ledPin,LOW);    //turns pin 13 off
  delay(500);                  //stops the loop for 500 milliseconds
}

Traffic light example

int RedLedPin = 23;                 //the int RedLedPin is 13
int GreenLedPin = 22;               //the int GreenLedPin is 12

void setup() {
  pinMode(RedLedPin,OUTPUT);        //ledPin is a OUTPUT
  pinMode(GreenLedPin,OUTPUT);      //ledPin is a OUTPUT

}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(GreenLedPin,HIGH);   //turns green led  on
  delay(5000);                      //stops the loop for 5000 milliseconds
  for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++){       //this for loop gets 5 times repeated
    digitalWrite(GreenLedPin,LOW);  //turns green led off
    delay(500);                     //stops the loop for 500 milliseconds
    digitalWrite(GreenLedPin,HIGH); //turns green led off
    delay(500);                     //stops the loop for 500 milliseconds
  }
  digitalWrite(GreenLedPin,LOW);    //turns green led off
  digitalWrite(RedLedPin,HIGH);     //turns red led on
  delay(5000);                      //stops the loop for 5000 milliseconds
  digitalWrite(RedLedPin,LOW);      //turns red led on
}

LDR example

example with a light resistor. keep in mind the LDR pin needs to be a pin with a ADC(analog to digital converter), because you check the analog voltage. on the arduino these are the ANALOG IN pins. on the ESP32 the pins with the ADC(check the pinout graphic)

int LDR = 34;                 //the LDR pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(LDR,INPUT);        //LDR is an INPUT
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(LDR); // read the analog value of the LDR
  Serial.println(value);       // print the value of the LDR, open serial monitor
  delay(10);
}

LDR & speaker example

int LDR = 34;                 //the LDR pin
int speaker = 23;

void setup() {
  pinMode(LDR,INPUT);        //LDR is an INPUT
  pinMode(speaker,OUTPUT);        //speaker is a OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(LDR); // read the analog value of the LDR
  Serial.println(value);       // print the value of the LDR, open serial monitor
  tone(speaker,value);         //create a frequency on the speaker pin; the frequency hertz is the value
  delay(10);
}

Poti example

int poti = 34;                 //the poti pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(poti,INPUT);        //poti is an INPUT
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(poti); // read the analog value of the poti
  Serial.println(value);       // print the value of the poti, open serial monitor
  delay(10);
}

Poti & speaker example

//keep in mind you can only use a mini speaker. for bigger speakers you need an amplifier. 
int poti = 34;                 //the pto pin
int speaker = 23;

void setup() {
  pinMode(poti,INPUT);        //poti is an INPUT
  pinMode(speaker,OUTPUT);        //speaker is a OUTPUT
}

void loop() {
  int value = analogRead(poti); // read the analog value of the poti
  Serial.println(value);       // print the value of the poti, open serial monitor
  tone(speaker,value);         //create a frequency on the speaker pin; the frequency hertz is the value
  delay(10);
}

Button & alarm example

int button = 34;
int speaker = 23;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);   //make usb connection
  pinMode(button, INPUT);    //button is an INPUT
  pinMode(speaker, OUTPUT);    //speaker is an OUTPUT

}

void loop() {
  bool value = digitalRead(button);    //read the digital value of button
  if(button){
    Serial.println("start alarm");
    for(int repeter = 0; repeter<5; repeter++){   //repeat 5 times
      for(int frequency = 500; frequency<1200; frequency++){    //count from 500 to 1200
        tone(speaker, fequency);    //generate the frequency on the speaker pin
        delay(5);
      }
      notone(speaker);    //turn off the speaker pin
      delay(500);         //
    }
  }else{
    Serial.println("button not pressed");
  }
}
