Study Notes
Arduino Overview
- Arduino is a small, easy-to-use computer controlling electronics
- It functions like a brain, executing instructions
- It interacts with real-world objects (lights, motors, sensors)
- Instructions are provided to Arduino through a computer
How Arduino Works
- Programming: Instructions (code) are written using Arduino IDE software
- Upload: Code is transferred to Arduino via USB cable
- Execution: Arduino follows instructions from the code, controlling devices
Arduino Features
-
Example Projects:
- Blinking LED
- Motor spinning
- Temperature sensing
-
Ease of Use: Simple interface for beginners
-
Endless Possibilities: Adaptable for robots, games, etc.
-
Hands-on Learning: Practical experience through projects
USB Connector
- A port for connecting Arduino to a computer
- Enables code transfer and power supply from the computer.
Power Port
- An alternative power source (e.g., adapter, 9V battery)
- Used if computer power is not preferred or available.
Microcontroller Chip (ATmega328P)
- The "brain" of the Arduino
- Stores and executes the uploaded program
- Receives input from sensors/devices
Analog Input Pins
- Used to receive signals with varying values (e.g., sensor readings)
Digital Pins
- Act as on/off switches (high/low)
- Control devices like LEDs, motors, buttons
Reset Switch
- Restarts Arduino and program execution from the beginning
Crystal Oscillator
- Keeps track of time for accurate program execution
USB Interface Chip
- Communicates between computer and Arduino via USB port
- Translates computer instructions to Arduino's language
TX/RX LEDs
- Indicate transmission and reception of data
- Blinking LEDs signal data exchange
