GETTING STARTED WITH ARDUINO
This manual will help you understand what it is and how Arduino works to begin
to build your own electronic projects.
What is Arduino?
Arduino is an electronic open platform for prototype creation based on fl exible
and easy to use software and hardware.
It has everything you need for basic use soldered on a small circuit. The
plate contains the microcontroller and provides convenient access to inputs
and outputs. Entries are devices such as sensors (sensors, thermometers,
gyroscopes, etc.) and elements of human interface (buttons, switches and
knobs). The outputs are electronic components that you want to be able to
control, such as lights, displays, motors and servos. A microcontroller has all the
basic parts of a computer (processor, memory, input/output pins) on a single chip
and runs the software that is loaded on it from a computer, which allows you to
manipulate the results based on data it receives at the inputs.
Arduino is open source. As open source hardware, schemes for Arduino are
available to anyone for free, if you want to buy electronic components and a plate
and build your own Arduino.
There is a huge range of projects that need a microcontroller. A simple project
could be something like a LED light strip. A basic circuit can turn the LED lights
on, but in order to get to change color and patterns you will need a microcontroller.
More complex projects might be a robotic arm, a holographic LED display or
cleanable auto cat litter box.
