INTRODUCTION

Arduino is an open source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of
both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller ) and a piece
of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to
write and upload computer code to physical board. arduino can receieve power from usb or
barrel jack.several pins are there in arduino such as 5V, 3.3V, GND, Analog, Digital, PWM, AREF.
Analog pins can read the signal from any analog sensor. Digital pins can be used for both digital
input and digital output. PWM(pulse width moduation) pins can simulate analog output.
AREF(analog reference) pins are used for external reference voltage as upper limit. Reset Button
is used to restart any code loaded on the arduino.There is a Power LED indicator. TX RX LEDs will
glow whenever arduino is recieving or transmitting data. Main IC is the brain of arduino.

Power (USB / Barrel Jack)

every arduino board needs to be connected to power source. USB connection is labelled as (1)
and barrel jack is labelled as (2).

Pins (5V, 3.3V, GND, Analog, Digital, PWM, AREF)

GND(3):several ground are there on the arduino which can be used to ground your circuit.

5V(4) and 3.3V(5): 5V pin supplies 5V power and 3.3V supplies 3.3V of power.

ANALOG(6):These pins can read the signal from any analog sensor.

Digital(7):these pins can be used for both digital input and digital output.

PWM(8):(~) next to some of the digital pins such as
