Code Examples
### Example 1: Blinking LEDs
This example demonstrates how to use the Arduino Mega 2560 to blink multiple LEDs connected to digital pins.
```c
const int ledPins[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}; // LED pins
const int numLeds = 6; // Number of LEDs
void setup() {
for (int i = 0; i < numLeds; i++) {
pinMode(ledPins[i], OUTPUT);
}
}
void loop() {
for (int i = 0; i < numLeds; i++) {
digitalWrite(ledPins[i], HIGH); // Turn on LED
delay(500); // Wait 500ms
digitalWrite(ledPins[i], LOW); // Turn off LED
delay(500); // Wait 500ms
}
}
```
### Example 2: Reading Analog Sensors
This example demonstrates how to use the Arduino Mega 2560 to read analog values from sensors connected to analog input pins.
```c
const int sensorPin = A0; // Analog sensor pin
int sensorValue = 0; // Sensor value
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
Serial.print("Sensor Value: ");
Serial.println(sensorValue);
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}
```
### Example 3: Serial Communication with PCs
This example demonstrates how to use the Arduino Mega 2560 to send and receive serial data with a PC.
```c
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
if (Serial.available() > 0) {
String incomingData = Serial.readStringUntil('
');
Serial.println(" Received: " + incomingData);
}
Serial.println("Hello, PC!");
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}
```
