Arduino Uno

ARDUINO IS AN OPEN--‐SOURCE ELECTRONICS PROTOTYPING PLATFORM BASED ON

FLEXIBLE, EASY--‐TO--‐USE HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE. IT'S INTENDED FOR
ARTISTS, DESIGNERS, HOBBYISTS AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN CREATING
INTERACTIVE OBJECTS OR ENVIRONMENTS.

Since Arduino is Open Source, the CAD and PCB design is freely available. Everyone
can buy a pre--‐assembled original Arduino board or a cloned board from another
company. You can also build an Arduino for yourself or for selling. Although it is
allowed to build and sell cloned Arduino boards, it’s not allowed to use the name
Arduino and the corresponding logo. Most boards are designed around the Atmel
Atmega328.
There are several different Arduino boards on the market (both original and cloned).

• Arduino UNO
o Most popular board. Ideal for starters.
o Standard USB for data and power and programming.
o Power Input connector.
o female headers.
o 14 digital I/O ports (of which 6 PWM).
o 6 analog input ports.
o 1 hardware serial port (UART).

As Arduino UNO is used most of the times, we will do so
Arduino IDE

To edit, compile and upload software projects (sketches) from your computer, you need
At least the Arduino IDE.
