const int ledPin = 13; // choose a pin for the LEDvoid setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // set the pin as an output
}void loop() {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn the LED off (LOW is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
```### Example 2: Reading Analog Sensor ValuesThis example demonstrates how to use the Arduino MEGA 2560 to read analog sensor values from an analog input pin (in this case, pin A0).```c
const int sensorPin = A0; // choose an analog input pin for the sensor
int sensorValue = 0; // variable to store the sensor valuevoid setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // initialize the serial communication at 9600 baud
}void loop() {
sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); // read the sensor value
Serial.print("Sensor value: ");
Serial.println(sensorValue); // print the sensor value to the serial monitor
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
```### Example 3: Serial Communication with a ComputerThis example demonstrates how to use the Arduino MEGA 2560 to communicate with a computer via serial communication.```c
const char message[] = "Hello, world!"; // message to send to the computervoid setup() {
Serial.begin(9600); // initialize the serial communication at 9600 baud
}void loop() {
Serial.println(message); // send the message to the computer
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
```Troubleshooting TipsMake sure to connect the board to a power source (e.g., a USB cable) and a serial communication device (e.g., a computer) before uploading the code.
Check the serial monitor in the Arduino IDE to ensure that the board is communicating properly with the computer.
Verify that the code is correctly uploaded to the board by checking the serial monitor for errors or unexpected behavior.Additional ResourcesArduino IDE: [www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software](http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
