However I've been told that they have found a use for Liberty BASIC with microcontrollers. Liberty BASIC is a Windows only (and soon also Mac and Linux) language, so it cannot be used to program microcontrollers. In 2003 Hernando Barragán created the development platform Wiring as a Masters thesis project at IDII, under the supervision of Massimo Banzi and Casey Reas. At that time, the students used a BASIC Stamp microcontroller at a cost of 50.
These devices come with their own programming tools. The Arduino project was started at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea, Italy. I get email from users of these products asking if they can use Liberty BASIC to program them. To my surprise, even a long retired electrical engineer friend knew about Arduino when I asked him. Using functions, you can analyze characters, perform mathematical operations, and perform various other tasks e.g., digitalRead () and digitalWrite () lets you read or write a value to a certain pin. First of all, you have functions that allow you to control your board. The initial step to start with Arduino is the IDE download and installation. There are three main parts that make up the Arduino programming language.

The code is written in a simple programming language similar to C and C++. Seems like there is a lot of interest lately in using microcontrollers such as the BASIC Stamp and the new Arduino products. We learned that Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) allows us to draw the sketch and upload it to the various Arduino boards using code.
