Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform used to build projects that can sense and control the physical world. It uses a microcontroller board, programming language and development environment to write code. Common Arduino boards are designed for tasks from simple to complex robotics and automation. Setting up involves a board, USB cable, and installing IDE software to write and upload code using a C++-based syntax.

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It


consists of a microcontroller board, programming language, and a development environment for
writing code.

Arduino boards are designed to sense and control the physical world around them. They can be
used to build a wide range of projects, from simple blinking LED lights to more complex robotics
and automation systems.

To get started with Arduino, you will need an Arduino board, a USB cable, and a computer with
the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) software installed. The IDE is used to
write, compile, and upload code to the Arduino board.

Once you have the necessary hardware and software, you can begin writing code to control the
Arduino board. Arduino programming uses a C++-based syntax, but it is simplified and easier to
learn than traditional C++ programming.

Some basic concepts to learn include digital input/output, analog input/output, and serial
communication. You can find many beginner-friendly tutorials and projects online to help you
learn these concepts and get started with Arduino.

Board Breakdown

Here are the components that make up an Arduino board and what each of their
functions are.
1. Reset Button – This will restart any code that is loaded to the Arduino board

2. AREF – Stands for “Analog Reference” and is used to set an external


reference voltage

3. Ground Pin – There are a few ground pins on the Arduino and they all work
the same.

4. Digital Input/Output – Pins 0-13 can be used for digital input or output

5. PWM – The pins marked with the (~) symbol can simulate analog output

6. USB Connection – Used for powering up your Arduino and uploading sketches

7. TX/RX – Transmit and receive data indication LEDs

8. ATmega Microcontroller – This is the brains and is where the programs are
Stored.

9. Power LED Indicator – This LED lights up anytime the board is plugged in a
power source

10. Voltage Regulator – This controls the amount of voltage going into the
Arduino board
