Objective: Introduction to Basic Arduino Uno components and pin diagram.

 

 

1.   Introduction to Arduino Uno:

 

 

The Arduino Uno is one of the most popular microcontroller boards used for various electronics and IoT projects. It is an open-source platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.

 

Key features of Arduino Uno:

 

•    Microcontroller: ATmega328P

•    Operating Voltage: 5V

•    Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V

•    Digital I/O Pins: 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output)

•    Analog Input Pins: 6

•    Clock Speed: 16 MHz

•    Flash Memory: 32 KB

•    SRAM: 2 KB

•    EEPROM: 1 KB

 

2.   Arduino Uno Pin Diagram:

 

The pin diagram is essential for connecting the Arduino board to external components such as sensors, actuators, and other circuits. Here's a breakdown of the key sections of the pin diagram:

 

Pin Classification:

 

1.   Power Pins:

o Vin: Input voltage to the Arduino board when it is using an external power source

(7-12V).

o 5V: Provides a regulated 5V output to power external components.

o 3.3V: Provides 3.3V output, useful for lower-power components.

o GND: Ground pins.

2.   Digital Pins (0-13):

o These pins can be used for both input and output.

o Pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX) are used for serial communication.

o PWM Pins (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11): Can output a PWM signal, used to simulate analog

outputs.

3.   Analog Pins (A0-A5):

o These are used for reading analog values from sensors.

o Each pin can read a value between 0 to 1023, representing a voltage between 0

and 5V.

4.   Communication Pins:

o RX (Pin 0): Used for receiving serial data.

o TX (Pin 1): Used for transmitting serial data.

o SPI (Pins 10, 11, 12, 13): Used for SPI communication.

o I2C (Pins A4 and A5): Used for I2C communication, connecting multiple

devices to the Arduino.
