Arduino is 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.
With Arduino, 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.
The Arduino 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

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.
Pune Makers ( http://www.meetup.com/Pune-Makers/ ) 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.

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

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.

Microcontrollers are digital devices – ON or OFF. 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
The two 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
