Session - 6
ARDUINO UNO BOARD
Introduction of Arduino
• Arduino is an open-source hardware and software platform designed for
computer programmers, professionals and those interested in developing
interactive devices and applications specific to an interactive development
environment.
• Arduino can receive input signals from various sensors and inputs.
• Arduino is able to run independently or communicate with software
running on a computer (for instance, Flash, Processing and MaxMSP).
Introduction of Arduino UNO
• Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P .
• It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs),
6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack,
an ICSP header and a reset button.
• 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.
