 What is Arduino?


Arduino is an open source electronic platform based on easy to use Hardware and Software. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board and piece of software, or IDE. IDE means Integrated Development Environment. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instruction to the Microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language based on processing.


History Of Arduino

The Arduino project began in 2003 at the Interaction Design institute lvrea, in Italy. The group of students and faculty members who ware looking for a more accessible and affordable way to create interactive electronics prototypes. the project was initially focused on developing a programming language and environment that would be easy for novices to learn and use.

                Over the next few years, the Arduino team continued to develop new Arduino boards and software tools. They also released a number of educational resources, such as tutorials, book, and online courses. As a result of the efforts. Arduino has become one of the most popular electronics prototyping platform in the world.


                Today, there are a wide variety of Arduino boards available each with its own features and capabilities. There are also number of third-party Arduino shields available which can be used to add additional functionality to Arduino board. Arduino is a thriving community of makers, educators, and professional who are using the platform to create new and innovative products and projects. The Arduino project is Also a valuable resource for learning about electronics and programming.


Arduino Hardware

Arduino is an open-source hardware platform for creating electronics projects. It consists of a microcontroller board and integrated development environment(IDE). The Arduino board is based on an Atmel  8-bit AVR microcontroller with varying amounts of flash memory, pins, and features. The board use single or double-row pins or female headers that  facilitate connection for programming and incorporation into other circuits. Arduino microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a bootloader. Boards are loaded with programs to the on-chip flash memory. The default bootloader of the Arduino uno is the optiboot bootloader. Boards are loaded with program code via a serial connection to another computer. Some serial Arduino boards contain a level shifter circuit to convert between RS-232 logic levels and transistor-transistor logic(TTL) serial level signals. Current Arduino board are programed via Universal Serial Bus(USB). Most popular Arduino board type is Arduino UNO.




Type of Arduino Board

         There are many different types of Arduino boards, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. hear are a few of most popular types of board.

Arduino UNO : The Arduino UNO is the most popular Arduino board, and for good reason. It is easy to use, relatively inexpensive, and has a large community of users. It is a good choice for beginners and for projects that don't require a lot of processing power.

Arduino Nano : The Arduino Nano is a smaller and more compact version of the Arduino Uno. It is a good choice for projects where space is limited, such as wearables.

Arduino Micro : The Arduino Micro is even smaller than the Arduino Nano, and it also has a USB connector that can be used to program it. This makes it a good choice for projects that need to be very small and portable.

Arduino Leonardo : The Arduino Leonardo is similar to the Arduino Uno, but it has a few additional features, such as the ability to act as a USB host, which means that it can be used to connect to other devices, such as keyboard and mice.

Arduino Due : The Arduino Due is a more powerful Arduino board that is based on 32-bit microcontroller. This makes it a good choice for projects that require a lot of processing power, such as robotics and multimedia projects.

These are just a few of the many different Arduino boards that are available. The best board for you ill depend on your specific needs and requirements.
