Libraries
The Arduino environment can be extended through the use of libraries, just like most programming
platforms. Libraries provide extra functionality for use in sketches, e.g. working with hardware or
manipulating data. To use a library in a sketch, select it from Sketch > Import Library.
A number of libraries come installed with the IDE, but you can also download or create your own. See
these instructions for details on installing libraries. There's also a tutorial on writing your own libraries.
See the API Style Guide for information on making a good Arduino-style API for your library.
Standard Libraries
EEPROM - reading and writing to "permanent" storage
Ethernet / Ethernet 2 - for connecting to the internet using the Arduino Ethernet Shield, Arduino
Ethernet Shield 2 and Arduino Leonardo ETH
Firmata - for communicating with applications on the computer using a standard serial protocol.
GSM - for connecting to a GSM/GRPS network with the GSM shield.
LiquidCrystal - for controlling liquid crystal displays (LCDs)
SD - for reading and writing SD cards
Servo - for controlling servo motors
SPI - for communicating with devices using the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Bus
SoftwareSerial - for serial communication on any digital pins. Version 1.0 and later of Arduino
incorporate Mikal Hart's NewSoftSerial library as SoftwareSerial.
