Stamp-C3U Arduino Program Compilation & Upload

1.Preparation

2.Download Mode

Press and hold the IO button on the Stamp-C3U, and connect the device to the computer via a USB cable. At this time, the port can be recognized on the computer, indicating that the device has entered the download mode.

3.Port Selection

Wait for the device to successfully recognize the port, and select the corresponding device's port in Arduino IDE.

4.Program Compilation & Upload

Note:
Please set the Tools -> USB-CDC On Boot option in Arduino IDE to Enabled; otherwise, the serial port cannot be used. The location of this option is as shown in the following picture.

Enter the following code in the Arduino IDE workspace, and click the upload button. The program will be automatically compiled and uploaded.

Note:
This example is realized based on FastLED library, please install FastLED dependency library through the library manager before use.

        case 1:

        case 2:

            break;
        case 3:

            break;
        default:
            break;
    }
    FastLED.show();
    led_ih++;
    delay(15);

    if (!digitalRead(PIN_BUTTON)) {
        delay(5);
        if (!digitalRead(PIN_BUTTON)) {
            led_status++;
            if (led_status > 3) led_status = 0;
            while (!digitalRead(PIN_BUTTON))
                ;
            Serial.print("LED status updated: ");
            Serial.println(led_status_string[led_status]);
        }
    }
}

After uploading the code, the RGB LED on the Stamp-C3U device will light up automatically. Pressing the button allows you to cycle through the display colors of the LED. At the same time, the device will output the current light status information (such as color values or modes) through the serial port, facilitating debugging and interactive feedback.
