Week Three - Familiarizing with Arduino

What is an Arduino 

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. or more simply, you load on some code and it can read sensors, perform actions based on inputs from buttons, control motors, and accept shield to further expend it's capabilities.

All Arduino boards have one thing in common: they are programmed through the Arduino IDE. This is the software that allows you to write and upload code. Beyond that, there can be a lot of differences. The number of inputs and outputs (how many sensors, LEDs, and buttons you can use on a single board), speed, operating voltage, and form factor are just a few of the variables. 




Study for Arduino



This is the book we used

After the research we had done we decided to use Arduino Mega 2560.

The Arduino Mega 2560 is a microcontroller boaed based on the ATmega2560(datasheet). It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs),16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Mega is compatible with most shield designed for Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila. 

A Mega 2560 is an updated to the Arduino Mega, which is replaces. The Mega 2560 differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-derial driver chip. Instead, it features the ATmega16U2 (ATmega8U2 in the revision 1 and 2 boards )programmed as USB-to-serial converter




This the software we use to program Arduino
