Internet of things with Intel Galileo

Chapter 2. Rediscovering the Arduino IDE

In the previous chapter you learned about the Galileo components and its resemblances to the Arduino development boards, mostly at the hardware level. In this chapter, we'll approach the software level by exploring the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and learning how to use it to develop simple projects.

In this chapter, you'll learn about:

  • Setting up your board
  • Using the Galileo Arduino IDE
  • Updating the Galileo firmware
  • Compiling, uploading, and running simple sketches
  • Using basic Arduino output methods

Setting up your board

To be able to use this software, you must first connect your board to a computer so that you can exchange data with it. You'll need at least a computer, a power supply, and a USB A to Micro USB Type B cable. The computer that will be used to run the Arduino IDE must be connected to your board.

The power supply comes already with your Galileo, but the USB cable doesn't and you will need to get one separately.

The following diagrams will show you how to wire your Galileo and Galileo Gen 2 boards. The first thing to do should be connecting the power supply and keeping the USB cable ready and unplugged.

Note

To prevent damaging your board, be sure that whenever you power up your Galileo your USB cable is disconnected from the board.

As soon as you connect it, you can plug in the USB cable.

Note

Beware that in the Galileo Gen 1 board, you'll find two USB ports, one tagged as host and the other as client. You must plug in your cable to the client one.

In the following...

Downloading and installing the IDE

Having the board ready, let's now install the Arduino IDE on your computer. Currently, there are three main versions of the Arduino IDE—one maintained by Intel (Arduino 1.6.0 – Intel 1.04 ), another by Arduino.cc (Arduino LLC 1.6.4), and the third one by Arduino.org (Arduino Srl 1.7.3)—appearing after a dispute with Arduino.cc. All of these versions are forks of the same project, but currently only Intel and Arduino.cc IDE's most recent versions support the Intel Galileo boards. Besides having different version numbers, these IDEs are maintained by different entities, and a higher version from a different entity doesn't necessarily mean a more recent version.

You can choose from one of the following versions, which support Intel Galileo:

  • Intel custom Arduino IDE 1.6.0 – Intel 1.04 (recommended): This is the Intel Arduino IDE version supporting their boards out of the box, without the need to install any support...

Updating the board firmware

To update your board firmware, you'll need to download the Intel Firmware updater tool. If you are running Windows, you should have this tool already. It comes with the Windows drivers. If you don't have it, or you are running another OS, you can download it at https://software.intel.com/en-us/iot/hardware/galileo/downloads. You can find the right download for your OS listed under the Intel® Galileo On-board Flash Firmware Updater section. Download and extract its contents. Execute the firmware-updater-1.0.4.exe file by clicking on it, and the firmware updater interface should be displayed. Ensure you have your Galileo connected to your computer, and in the updater tool, select the USB port you are using. In the same firmware updater tool, check the current and target firmware version. If the current version is lower than the target one, you should update it.

Note

Before updating your board's firmware, ensure that it is properly connected to...

The Arduino IDE

The code you write is named sketch. With the Arduino IDE, you'll be able to compile your sketches and upload them to your Galileo. Open your Arduino IDE, and you'll find the following environment:

The Arduino IDE

Galileo Arduino IDE

Identifying the IDE components, you can find:

  • Verify: This button will be your best friend. It will help you compiling your sketch and troubleshooting any issues or syntax errors.
  • Upload: It will verify your code and, if it has no errors, it will upload your program to the board.
  • New: It creates a new sketch.
  • Open: This opens an existing sketch.
  • Save: It saves your sketch. The saved sketches have the file extension .ino.
  • Serial monitor: This opens the serial monitor window, which displays serial data from Galileo. This monitor window also allows you to send messages to your board.
  • Your sketch: This is where you will write your code.
  • Console: It gives feedback about the operations you are doing. If errors are found when you verify your sketch, they will also...

Running your first sketches

Now that we have everything set up, let's try to run some simple sketches to make you feel more comfortable with the IDE. Here, you'll be testing how to blink and fade an LED.

In these demos, at least for the fade example, you'll need:

  • A small breadboard: This type of solderless circuit allows you to build electronic circuits without any soldering while being reusable.
  • An LED: We'll use a 5 V LED.
  • A resistor: Depending on the LED type, color, and manufacturer, different resistors will be required. To be able to support a wider range of LEDs, let's use a 1 kΩ resistor. This resistor is represented by the color code brown, black, red, and silver, and it will help you avoid damaging the LED.

Blinking an LED

In this example, you'll be blinking an LED repeatedly over time. This is a very simple demo that is used many times as a test to check whether everything is properly configured and running:

  1. Ensure your Galileo is powered up and the...

Book „Internet of Things with Intel Galileo” by Miguel de Sousa in my opinion is very good introductory book to the new incoming revolution in semicon industry which is Internet of Things. Book starts with short explanation of the idea standing behind of concept Internet of Things followed by a description of Intel Galileo board and comparison to Raspberry Pi. Next it quickly jumps to hands-on. Following chapters are devoted to setting up board, installing software, and running projects. Projects such as building an irrigation system and Christmas light effects which is quite ok for beginning from my point of view. Descriptions are clear and supported by pictures and screen-shots. Book length is I would say very encouraging to read it. I was always scared and overwhelmed by holding 1000-page bricks in my hand. Definitely I can recommend this book to those ones who want to start their adventure with Internet of Things.

This is the kind of books that I love. It's theoretical enough and practical as I like. In then end, I can build things on my own. Loved it!

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
