Exploring Arduino: A Comprehensive Guide

Introduction to ArduinoArduino is a convenient, flexible, and easy-to-use open-source electronic prototyping platform. It includes hardware (various models of Arduino boards) and software (Arduino IDE). It was developed by a European team in the winter of 2005, consisting of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, David Mellis, and Nicholas Zambetti.Figure 1—Arduino LOGOIt is built on an open-source simple I/O interface board and has a development environment similar to Java and C languages called Processing/Wiring. It mainly consists of two parts: the hardware part is the Arduino circuit board for circuit connections, and the other is the Arduino IDE, the programming environment on your computer. You just need to write the program code in the IDE, upload it to

Understanding Arduino: A Comprehensive Guide

Understanding Arduino: How Much Do You Know?ArduinoIn simple terms, Arduino is an open-source electronic prototyping platform consisting of a simple microcontroller and an easy-to-use programming environment. It connects various sensors, actuators, displays, and other external devices through pins, supporting flexible and scalable applications widely used in smart homes, automation, and the Internet of Things.PART01Features of Arduino1. Cross-PlatformThe Arduino IDE can run onWindows, Macintosh OS (Mac OS), andLinux, while most other controllers can only be developed on Windows.2. Simple and ClearThe Arduino IDE is developed based on the processing IDE. It is extremely easy for beginners to master while having sufficient flexibility. The Arduino language is developed based on the wiring language, which is a secondary encapsulation of the avr-gcc library,

Exploring Three Common Arduino Development Boards

Today, Teacher Cheng from Mark Pen Design Study Abroad continues to bring us knowledge related to Arduino. This article discusses three commonly used Arduino development boards: Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, and Arduino Mega 2560.Arduino can be connected to various components like LEDs, LCD screens, buttons, stepper motors, servos, temperature and humidity sensors, distance sensors, pressure sensors, or any devices that can output data or be controlled via a breadboard or other expansion boards. It can also wirelessly connect to other devices through Bluetooth, WiFi, Zigbee, NB-IoT, and other wireless communication modules, or access the internet. You can collect data from sensors using Arduino and upload it to a data center, then control connected peripheral devices based on commands from the
