The Ultimate Arduino Bootstrap
summary
Walks through actual code and hardware: Arduino Uno, the minimal IDE, pin 13 LED and setup/loop pattern, serial via USB and SoftwareSerial, analogRead as a 10-bit ADC (0–1023), PWM limited to 500 Hz PWM, and I2C/Wire to chain devices. Uses Adafruit/SparkFun GPS + TinyGPS parsing, MCP I2C DACs to drive galvanometer loudspeakers and a laser plotter, Wi‑Fi shield for TCP/HTTP fetch, and Arduino Yún to run curl on Linux. Prototype draws a curve successfully but shows electrical noise.
