ARDUINO UNO

WHAT IS ARDUINO?

AN OPEN SOURCE ELECTRONIC PLATFORM ...

IT'S BASED ON THE HARDWARE & SOFTWARE ....

WHAT TO ARDUINO DO?

The Arduino board will read the data using sensors like light intensity, temperature, wind flow, touch-sensitive, etc ...  

And sent the commands to work using actuators like activating a motor, turn on a tube light, publishing something online, etc ...

HOW DOES ARDUINO DO ALL THIS?

• Each Arduino board has a microcontroller ( chip or processor ). 
• By sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the Arduino board.

 VARIOUS KINDS OF ARDUINO BOARDS 

 It mainly depends upon the type of microcontroller used.

And also based on the number of input and output pins, Operating voltage, Speed, Form factor - (size, overall layout, power supply type)...

 

ARDUINO UNO COMPONENTS AND PORTS 

1. USB JACK  -  Upload programs to Arduino board and power supply.
2. POWER JACK  -  (POWER) Input voltage (7V to 12V)[we can also                      use recharge & disposable battery,solar                          panel,well - adapters.
3. Voltage regular  -  Control and Stabilize the Voltage & used by chip and other elements. 
4. Crystal Oscillator  -  It is used to calculate the time & Its frequency is 16MHz.  
5. RESET BUTTON  -  RE-start the program from the beginning( Reset pin is also available.
6. POWER PINS  -  (3.3V to 5V)-output Volt supply, GND, Vin→power supply, external power source(sometimes it's labeled as 9V).
