Explanation Arduino IDE Interface

Explanation Arduino IDE Interface - To program the Arduino board, we need application IDE (Integrated Development Environment) built from Arduino. This application allows you to create, open and edit the source code Arduino (Sketches, the programmer called the source code arduino with the term "sketches"). Furthermore, if we refer to the source code written for Arduino, we call a "sketch" is also yes. Sketch is the source code that contains the logic and algorithms to be uploaded into the IC microcontroller (Arduino).

 

Arduino IDE Interface

Arduino IDE interface looks like the image above. From left to right and top to bottom, parts of the Arduino IDE consists of:

• Verify: the previous version known as Compile.Before an application is uploaded to the Arduino board, make it a habit to first verify sketch made. If there is an error in the sketch, then will appear the error. Process Verify / Compile transform the sketch into binary code to be uploaded to the microcontroller.
• Upload: This button functions to upload a sketch to the Arduino board. Although we do not click the verify button, then the sketch will be compiled, and then directly uploaded to the board. Unlike the verify button that only serves to verify the source code only.
• New Sketch: Open the window and create a new sketch
• Open Sketch: Open a sketch that has already been created. Sketch made with Arduino IDE will be saved with the file extension .ino
• Save Sketch: save the sketch, but not accompanied compile.
• Serial Monitor: Open the interface for serial communication, will be discussed further in the next section
• Description of Application: messages that do app will appear here, eg "Compiling" and "Done Uploading" when we compile and upload the sketch to the board Arduino
• Console: The messages were done applications and messages about the sketch will appear in this section. For example, when you compile the application, or when there is an error in the sketch we created, then the error information and the line will be informed in this section.
• Line Sketch: This section will indicate the position of the cursor line is currently active on the sketch.
• Port Information: This section informs ports dipakah by Arduino board.
