    Study Notes

    Overview of Arduino

    • Arduino is an open-source prototype platform that combines hardware and software for easy access to micro-controller programming.
    • It consists of a programmable circuit board (microcontroller) and Arduino IDE, a software for writing and uploading code.

    Features of Arduino

    • Capable of reading both analog and digital signals from various sensors; effects include motor activation and LED control.
    • Programming does not require a separate programmer; code is uploaded via USB cable.
    • Arduino IDE employs a simplified version of C++, making it accessible for beginners.
    • Standardized form factor facilitates the breakdown of micro-controller functions into understandable components.

    Board Types

    • Various Arduino boards exist, differing in microcontroller type, number of inputs/outputs, speed, and operating voltage.
    • Some boards support 3.7V battery operation, while others require at least 5V for functionality.

    Analog Input Pins

    • The Arduino UNO has five analog pins (A0 to A5) for receiving signals from analog sensors like humidity or temperature sensors.

    Main Microcontroller

    • Each Arduino board features a distinct microcontroller, primarily sourced from ATMEL, which acts as the board's central processing unit.
    • Microcontroller identification is critical before uploading programs; data sheets provide detailed information.

    ICSP Pin

    • The ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) pin enables programming of the Arduino via an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) setup.

    LED Indicators

    • A power LED indicates proper board connection when lit.
    • TX (transmit) and RX (receive) LEDs signal serial communication activity, with TX flashing at variable speeds based on the baud rate.

    Digital I/O Configuration

    • Arduino UNO features 14 digital I/O pins; 6 of these support PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output.
    • The power source for the board can be adjusted via a jumper located between the USB and power connectors.

    Getting Started with Arduino IDE

    • Launch Arduino IDE after downloading and unzipping the application.
    • Users can create a new project or open an existing project example, such as the "Blink" example, which toggles an LED on and off.

    Selecting Your Board

    • To upload a program without errors, ensure the correct board is selected in the IDE under Tools -> Board, matching the board connected to the computer.
