EMBEDDED SYSTEMS

The one of the hot and cool subject for all times for engineers and scientists.
Where you learn about the programmable controllers to develop systems. It involves understanding of hardware together with the fun of programming.

CODING

PRACTICAL 1 – TRAFFIC LIGHT
// C++ code
//
void setup()
{
  pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  digitalWrite(5, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(6, LOW);
  digitalWrite(7, LOW);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
  digitalWrite(5, LOW);
  digitalWrite(6, HIGH);
  digitalWrite(7, LOW);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
  digitalWrite(5, LOW);
  digitalWrite(6, LOW);
  digitalWrite(7, HIGH);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1000 millisecond(s)
}
PRACTICAL 2 – FADE IN FADE OUT

int led = 9; // the PWM pin the LED is attached to

int brightness = 0; // how bright the LED is

int fadeAmount = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:

void setup() {

// declare pin 9 to be an output:

pinMode(led, OUTPUT);

}

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

void loop() {

// set the brightness of pin 9:

analogWrite(led, brightness);

// change the brightness for next time through the loop:

brightness = brightness + fadeAmount;

// reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade:

if (brightness <= 0 || brightness >= 255)

{ fadeAmount = -fadeAmount; }

// wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect

delay(30); }
