Arduino Series (Lesson 4) - Arduino IDE Software

Image
The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment is written in Java and based on Processing and other open-source software. This software can be used with any Arduino board. Download Arduino Software from this Link    The Arduino Software (IDE) allows you to write programs and upload them to your board. In the Arduino Software page you will find two options: 1. If you have a reliable Internet connection, you should use the online IDE (Arduino Web Editor). It will allow you to save your sketches in the cloud, having them available from any device and backed up. You will always have the most up-to-date version of the IDE without the need to install updates or community generated libraries. 2. If you would rather work offline, you should use the latest version of the desktop IDE.

Arduino Series (Lesson 2) - What is Microcontroller & Atmega 328P microcontroller ?

A microcontroller is a compact integrated circuit designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip. It has pins that can perform digital and analog operations. They are available with various architectures such as 8 bit ,16 , bit ,32 bit and 64 bit. ATMEGA328 ATmega328  is an 8-bit and 28 Pins AVR Microcontroller, manufactured by Microchip, follows RISC Architecure and has a flash type program memory of 32KB. It has an EEPROM memory of 1KB and its SRAM memory is of 2KB. It has 8 Pin for ADC operations, which all combines to form PortA ( PA0 – PA7 ). It also has 3 builtin Timers, two of them are 8 Bit timers while the third one is 16-Bit Timer. You must have heard of Arduino UNO, UNO is based on atmega328 Microcontroller. It’s UNO’s heart. 💖 ATMEGA328 PINOUT 

Arduino Series (Lesson 1) - What is Arduino ?

Introduction Arduino is a open electronic prototyping platform that enables with very little knowledge in the field of electronics and programming to develop hardware and create a better understanding of the field of physical computing and electronics it was started in 2003 as a project for non professionals to interact with sensors and computing using simple programming methods. The basic features of Arduino has improved since then to become the leader in Open electronic prototyping. Arduino can perform a lot of tasks such sensor reading motor running ,robotics for beginners and for college students for prototyping the electronic hardware. The name Arduino comes from a bar in Ivrea, Italy, where some of the founders of the project used to meet. The bar was named after Arduin of Ivrea, who was the margrave of the March of Ivrea and King of Italy from 1002 to 1014.
