HISTORY OF ARDUINO
Arduino was created at the Ivrea
Interaction Design Institute. It
is designed as an easy tool for
students without background in
electronics and programming to do
fast prototyping. Over the years
Arduino has adapted to new
challenges and needs, evolving from
the 8-bit boards to products for
wearable technology, IoT
applications, embedded
WHAT IS ARDUINO?
Arduino is
an open-
source
electronics
platform base
d on easy-to-
use hardware
and software.
Kinds of Arduino Microcontroller
Arduino has different kinds of
microcontroller development
boards, from Arduino Uno
(entry-level) to the latest as of
this writing, the Portenta
H7 which is capable of High-
level programming and AI.
Uses C / C++ Programming
Language
What makes everything work?
What is a
microcontroller?
A microcontroller is
a small
computation
engine that “makes
a
decision” or “monitor
s a system”.
Generally,
microcontrollers
Microcontrollers are everywhere,
embedded in different devices
such as toys, remote control,
microwave ovens, thermostats,
and timers. Microcontrollers
make objects more
interactive. Microcontrollers are
often used in applications
that have repetitive tasks.
ARDUINO UNO ANATOMY
DIGITAL PINS
These pins can
be used as
either input or
output pins.
When used as
output, these
pins act as a
power supply
source for the
components
connected to
them. When
used as input
pins, they read
the signals from
PIN 13 LED
It is the only
actuator built-
in to your
board. This
pin is usually
used to start
your
prototyping
journey by
using its LED
for debugging
and as your

MICROCONTROLLER
The brain of
your Arduino.
It is the most
prominent
black
rectangular
chip with 28
pins. This
allows you to
directly
upload a new
Arduino
program into
ANALOG INPUT PINS
These pins
can read
the signal
from an
analog
sensor and
can be
used for
commands
such as
5V & GND PINS
It is used
to
provide
5V
power
and
ground
to your
POWER PORT
It is used
to power
your
Arduino
when it is
not
plugged
into a USB
port for
power. It
can accept
TX & RX LEDS
TX stands
for
transmit,
and RX for
receive.
These are
indicator
LEDs which
blink
whenever
the UNO
board is
transmittin
USB PORT
This is a
printer USB
port used to
load a
program
from the
Arduino IDE
onto the
Arduino
board. The
board can
also be
RESET BUTTON
When this
switch is
clicked, it
sends a
logical pulse
to the reset
pin of the
Microcontroll
er, and now
runs the
program
again from
