ArduEasy - uma biblioteca para abstração de hardware e controle de tempo na plataforma Arduino

Abstract

This work presents the development of ArduEasy, an open-source library designed to simplify programming on the Arduino platform, particularly for beginners. The library aims to abstract the manipulation of basic hardware components, such as LEDs, buttons, DC motors, and matrix keypads, while providing support for time control and non-blocking execution. Implemented using the object-oriented programming paradigm, ArduEasy enables users to focus on project logic, reducing the complexity associated with Arduino pin manipulation and timing management. The study included comparative experiments between ArduEasy and the standard Arduino API, with questionnaires administered to users to assess usability and efficiency. The results indicate that ArduEasy significantly reduces the learning curve and enhances the development experience, especially for novices, by offering a more intuitive interface and features that prevent code blocking. The library has been made available in a public repository, contributing to the Arduino community and promoting accessibility in electronic prototyping.
