Introduction to Arduino Boards

Arduino is available as an open-source platform based on electronics which can be implemented by using both software and hardware. The Arduino board is used to read the input based on sensor, button, or finger or by twitter messages. It can be enabled by switching ON and OFF the led, sometimes it can be done online too. The board can be processed according to requirements by properly feeding the input data and set of instructions via a microcontroller. The programming language is based on wiring and IDE which is the Arduino software that is used to process and structure the set of an algorithm. The types of uses and applications of Arduino are briefly explained in this article.

What is the Arduino Board?

In the past years, the Arduino is the heart of many projects and it solves many complicated problems world wide. The student, professional, programmers, artist, and many experts implemented Arduino is their project to make it clearer and highly successful. Arduino is mainly implemented to the person who doesn’t belong to electronics and programming background. Once it reached a maximum community space it started to adopt different challenges from standard 8-bit boards to IoT products, 3D printing, and embedded environments. It is designed to empower its users and build them their own products independently and make them highly flexible in adjusting to the requirements.

The Arduino is simple to beginners and makes it more flexible for advanced users. It can be easily executed on Linux, Mac, and Windows and it is budget-friendly, which is available as minimum price scientific components. Even the architects and designers have attractive and interactive prototypes and make the user easy to install and make their product more standard and better. Arduino is a fundamental tool to explore new things that have the ability to understand and obey the user’s concept through a simple set of instructions.

It has a lot of other microcontrollers available for physical computing which offers the same functionalities. But all these single controllers are wrapped to form the Arduino as a reliable package. It simplifies the complexities in the other microcontrollers and makes students, teachers, and professionals gain more advantages over other microcontrollers.

Types of Arduino board

The types of Arduino boards which are readily available in the market are Arduino Uno, Red Boards, Arduino Mega, LilyPad Arduino, and Arduino Leonardo which is described in the below section.

The Uno is a huge option to initialize the Arduino which comprises 14-digital I/O pins, where six is used for pulse width modulation and analog inputs along with power jack, USB connection, and reset button. It involves all other needed to hold the microcontroller and can be easily attached to the computer via USB cable and the supply is started with battery.

The LilyPad Arduino is developed by e-textile technology and now extended by Leah. Every Arduino board is designed exclusively with huge connection pads and softback to enable them to sew the clothing with conducting threads. It is composed of I/O power with sensor boards and is extensively used for textile technology only which can be even washable.

Redboard Arduino can be programmed via Mini-B USB cable using Arduino IDE which operates on Windows 8 without even modifying security settings and makes it standardized. The FTDI chip and USB which can be used to make the back entirely flat and create it easy to implement in project design. Plug-in the board and choose the menu to upload the program into the device. The user can manage the RedBoard via USB with a barrel jack.

Arduino Mega is similar to the configuration and characteristics of Uno. It includes multiple I/O digital pins where only 14 is allotted for pulse width modulation, 6-pins is allocated for analog inputs along with power jack, reset button, and USB connection. Simply plug-in the Arduino to the device and begin to use it with the battery as a power source. The multiple pins make the Arduino much useful to design the project and comprise lots of input and output buttons.

Uses of Arduino boards

The Arduino boards have several advantages that are described in this section

The Arduino boards are inexpensive when compared to other microcontrollers and it is the least expensive version in the module which is arranged by hand and even the price of the pre-arranged module is too cheap. Hence the inexpensive cost of Arduino attracts the students to explore more knowledge in the simple device.

The IDE of Arduino software can be executed on Macintosh, OSX, Linux operating system and it supports cross-platform. But most of the microcontrollers can be executed on Windows.

The Arduino is flexible and easy to use for beginners as it has a clear programming environment. For the advanced user, it acts more skilled and makes their projects as highly standardized. Apart from professionals, it even supports the student on their program processing platform and so the students are familiar with the working of Arduino IDE.

The Arduino is extensible software and it can be expanded via C++ libraries. It comprised of multiple open-source tools that are readily available for experienced professionals. It supports the people who want to understand the technical information which makes the people take a big leap from Arduino to its advanced C based programming languages. The user can also add AVR C coding directly to the program of Arduino

The Arduino is available as open-source where the plans are published under incredible common license and so the circuit designers build their own version of the Arduino module by expanding and enhancing it. The inexperienced user can develop the Arduino version in the breadboard to understand how it operates. It helps to save more money and can be used in all types of business environments.

Conclusion

Arduino is simple to implement, easy to use, and helps the user to explore more knowledge in the field of electronics and programming.
