Introduction:
Arduino was created in Italy at the IVREA institute in 2005, it appeared by the
need to have a device to use in classrooms that is low cost,
It will work under any operating system and will be used for internal use of the
school. The IVRAE Institute decided to release the Arduino project so that it does not
it will be forgotten and opened to the community with the possibility that the project would be
evolving by proposing improvements and suggestions and keeping it alive, Arduino little by
little has become what it is a free hardware and software project in the field
worldwide. Free software and hardware offer users four freedoms, freedom
for use, study and modification, distribution and redistribution of the versions
modified. (Berchan. 2013) The main person responsible for the idea and design of Arduino is
Massimo Banzi and with the collaboration of David Cuartielles, David Mellis, Tom Igoe and
Gianluca Martino achieved what is now Arduino, a board that is considered
to build and design devices that can be used in real life and as a
benefit for society. Arduino is a board or open source hardware platform based
mainly on a microcontroller, and a development environment (software), designed
to facilitate the use of electronics in various multidisciplinary projects.
Arduino is a technology that involves the direct use of hardware and software. Regarding
Hardware is made up of several parts and interfaces which are assembled on a board.
of circuit. Arduino has changed over the years and different types have emerged.
plates.
Development:
Currently, Arduino boards and sensors have been launched on the market that only change
according to the number of digital, analog or PWM pins, the program memory and
the frequency of the microcontroller's clock.
• USB port, which is used for the board's power • Reset button, which has
how to reset the microcontroller. • LED TX and RX, is to verify if it exists
communication between the computer and the board. • LED (Analog reference pin), it is
an activator that is found by default on the board. • Digital Pins
(13), they are used with input and output on the Arduino board. • Current LED, it is for
check that the board receives energy correctly. • ATmega microcontroller,
the main circuit of the board.
• Analog pins, are pins that function as analog inputs. • GND pin, in
the pin for the earth's rome • 5 Volt Pin, to provide current to the circuits
with which the board works. • Power connector, it can work with voltages ranging
from 7 Volts to 12 Volts.
These components of the Arduino board allow connecting various sensors and others
boards that allow adding new functionalities without the need to alter the design
original of the board. Arduino boards are widely used in education for
to teach a new way of understanding computer programming and robotics.
In addition, electronic circuits connected to the inputs can be included on this board.
and analog and digital outputs to create simple and intelligent processes that can
interact like a robot.
To program the Arduino board along with the electronic circuit, it requires a
IDE software (Integrated Development Environment) which means environment of
integrated development, which is a software program composed of a set of
programming tools. The way to communicate with the microcontroller and
loading the programs uses the Arduino development system, this procedure
allows you to write programs, compile them, and download them to the Arduino board. "The
Arduino programs are written in different types of languages, such as C, Fortran.
or basic, said program is compiled (is transformed into 0 and 1) and is loaded into the
microprocessor that will execute it cyclically" (Riley 2012).
Arduino programming must follow a basic structure in order to get started.
to insert instructions that allow the project to be executed successfully.
Conclusions:
Arduino is a tool that today can be used in the teaching process
learning because it allows students to easily develop the
creative and innovative skills in the world of electronics and robotics, this is going to
allow interactive projects that facilitate the learning of any
subject not related to technology, computer science, mechanics, and electronics.
With the Arduino board, free hardware and software are used that are not only
important not only for the world of computing or electronics, but for life in
general, which activates the logical thinking of any person so that they can
understand technology
