GR-ADZUKI Sketch Reference

This reference describes libraries for writing programs for the GR-ADZUKI board, and HTTP API for controlling a web compiler. Refer to the information below when you start to use GR-ADZUKI for the first time.

• GR-ADZUKI Special Project: Sketch Using a Web Compiler

You can make a code compatible with Arduino.

In Arduino, programs are called "sketches," which is why we have tried to make things easier by calling them "sketches" here as well.

Here's a little explanation about sketches. Take a look at the sample sketch below. This is a simple sketch that turns a red LED on the ADZUKI board on.

    
    #include <Arduino.h>
    void setup(){
        pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
    }
     
    void loop(){
        digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
        delay(200);
        digitalWrite(13, LOW);
        delay(200);
    }
    

Arduino requires a unique description -- setup() and loop() -- to be included in the sketch. The setup() function is called only once after reset or power-on. Then, the loop() function is executed repeatedly. For example, the sketch to the right turns the LED on and off the using pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and delay() functions. The pinMode() in the setup() defines which pin to use for driving the LED. Then, the digitalWrite() turns the LED on and off. The delay() defines on and off time. When using the GR-ADZUKI board, always describe #include <Arduino.h>, the library that includes all these Arduino compatible functions, in the first line.

The best thing about Arduino is its plentiful choice of libraries. These libraries make it easy to not only turn on LEDs, but also emit noises, run motors, and connect to networks. Check out the lineup in the LIBRARY tab in the menu above.

The information below describes the pin layout of the GR-ADZUKI board. There are many cases where you use the library with a pin number. For example, the following description:

    
    digitalWrite(2, LOW);
    

This means to set pin2 to LOW. And, from A0 to A7 can be used to read analog values. For example, the following description:

    
    analogRead(A0);
    

This means to read from A0 condition. From A0 to A7 are the same as from 14 to 21. Although, LED pins are assigned to 6, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13, The colors are controlled by pin22(red), pin23(green) and pin24(blue).

March 30, 2018: Updated Serial and Ethernet. Added SoftwareSerial.

You can create a gadget easy with the library. Most of the functions that you want to use are here, such as an ADC, timer, PWM, sound generation, SPI communication, USB virtual COM port, real-time clock, and memory card.

    
                    #include <Arduino.h>
                    void setup() 
                    { 
                      Serial.begin(9600);
                      Serial.println("Hello");
                    } 
                    

    
                    #include <Arduino.h>
                    #include <servo.h> 
                     
                    Servo servo0;
                    void setup() 
                    { 
                      servo0.attach(9);
                      servo0.write(90);  // set servo to mid-point
                    }
