 Arduinois the go-to gear for artists, hobbyists,

students, and anyone with a gadgetry dream.

 Arduino rose out of another formidable challenge:

how to teach students to create electronics, fast.

 WithArduino, you can control almost everything

around you be it simple LED or giant Robots.

 Basically Arduino is Microcontroller.

 Microcontroller
is microprocessor with memory, RAM
and some other peripheral connected with it.

 TheArduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on

the ATmega328 . The ATmega328 has Flash memory of
32 KB (with 0.5 KB used for the bootloader). It also has 2
KB of SRAM and 1 KB of EEPROM
Flash- Where program is stored.
SRAM-Static Random Access Memory ( sketch creates and manipulates variables when it runs )
EEPROM- Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory ( memory whose values are kept when
the board is turned off )

 What does it have?
• 14 Digital In/Out pins (6 can be used as PWM)
• 6 Analog Inputs
• A USB Connection
• A Power Jack
• Reset Button
• On-board LED
• SCL/SDA pins (Serial Clock/ Serial Data pins)
 In short, it contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB
cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get
started.

 You need to download Arduino IDE (Integrated
Development Environment).
 Arduino IDE is available for all Mac, Windows.and
Linux.

7
 Once you have
downloaded and
installed/extracted the
folder, you can directly
run Arduino.exe, which
will take you to its IDE.
 The IDE will look like
the shown screenshot.
error & status messages

 Before you start
programming, double
check that correct
board is selected
under Tools → Board.
 Now, you can start
playing with Arduino.

9
 The Arduino Uno can be
programmed with the
Arduino software. Select
"Arduino Uno from the Tools
> Board menu (according to
the microcontroller on your
board).
 All the peripheral
connected with Computers
are using Serial Port.
 You can check port for
Arduino Uno in Device
Manger.

Also called – discrete.

Analog signals are anything that can be a full range

of values.

 “Serial” because data is broken into bits, each sent one
after another in a single wire.
 Compiling turns your program into binary data (ones and
zeros)
 Uploading sends the bits through USB cable to the Arduino
 Thetwo LEDs near the USB connector blink when data is
transmitted.
• RX blinks when the Arduino is receiving data.
• TX blinks when the Arduino is transmitting data
