The SparkFun Artemis is an amazing module. So much functionality packed into a tiny 10x15mm footprint! But what really makes it powerful is the ability to quickly write sketches and build projects using only Arduino code. However, for more industry oriented programmer, it is also compatible with Arm® Mbed™ OS. Whether you are using one of our boards that has the Artemis module pre-integrated or have your own, this tutorial will get you started with the Arduino IDE and familiarize you with the various interfaces of the Artemis module.

RetiredProgramming Firmware
Users interested in flashing their module will need an ARM Programmer and need to solder on a JTAG header. We recommend these programmers from our catalog:
PRT-15362 This is a super small, 2x5 pin male PTH header. This header is in the common configuration for JTAG applications.
PGM-15345 Tiny J-Link programmer for programming any ARM microconroller. Comes with an educational/ non-commercial license.
Retired PGM-15346 J-Link programmer for programming any ARM microconroller. Comes with an educational/ non-commercial license.
Retired PGM-15347 Compact J-Link programmer for programming any ARM microconroller.

Processor Interrupts with Arduino
What is an interrupt? In a nutshell, there is a method by which a processor can execute its normal program while continuously monitoring for some kind of event, or interrupt. There are two types of interrupts: hardware and software interrupts. For the purposes of this tutorial, we will focus on hardware interrupts.
