Arduino
Arduino is a kind of open-source
platform that is based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It is able to read
inputs, light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a twitter message. And it
can turn into an output. Arduino also used for activating a motor, turning on
an LED, publishing something online. Users can tell the boards what to do by
sending an instruction to the microcontroller on the board. To do this all
things you have to use Arduino Programming Language and the Arduino Software
based on processing.
It is simple and accessible
user experience. It is still used in a variety number of projects and
applications. Arduino is much easy for beginners, still flexible enough for
advanced users.
- Arduino offers some advantages.
These are:
- Arduino boards are inexpensive if we compared them to other
microcontroller boards.
- The Arduino software can able to runs on Windows, Macintosh
OSX, and Linux operating systems. On the other hand, most microcontroller
systems are limited to Windows.
- It provides a simple and clear programming environment.
Arduino boards consist of Power,
Reset button, Power LED Indicator, TX, RX LEDs, Main IC, Voltage Regulator.
