Overview

Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on 8-bit ATmega328P microcontroller. Along with
ATmega328P, it consists other components such as crystal oscillator, serial communication, voltage regulator,
etc. to support the microcontroller. Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (out of which 6 can be used
as PWM outputs), 6 analog input pins, a USB connection, A Power barrel jack, an ICSP header and a reset
button.

How to use Arduino Board

The 14 digital input/output pins can be used as input or output pins by using pinMode(), digitalRead() and
digitalWrite() functions in arduino programming. Each pin operate at 5V and can provide or receive a
maximum of 40mA current, and has an internal pull-up resistor of 20-50 KOhms which are disconnected by
default.  Out of these 14 pins, some pins have speci c functions as listed below:
Serial Pins 0 (Rx) and 1 (Tx): Rx and Tx pins are used to receive and transmit TTL serial data. They are
connected with the corresponding ATmega328P USB to TTL serial chip.
External Interrupt Pins 2 and 3: These pins can be con gured to trigger an interrupt on a low value, a
rising or falling edge, or a change in value.
PWM Pins 3, 5, 6, 9 and 11: These pins provide an 8-bit PWM output by using analogWrite() function.
SPI Pins 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO) and 13 (SCK): These pins are used for SPI communication.
In-built LED Pin 13: This pin is connected with an built-in LED, when pin 13 is HIGH – LED is on and
when pin 13 is LOW, its o .

Along with 14 Digital pins, there are 6 analog input pins, each of which provide 10 bits of resolution, i.e. 1024
di erent values. They measure from 0 to 5 volts but this limit can be increased by using AREF pin with analog
Reference() function.  
Analog pin 4 (SDA) and pin 5 (SCA) also used for TWI communication using Wire library.

Arduino Uno has a couple of other pins as explained below:

AREF: Used to provide reference voltage for analog inputs with analogReference() function.
Reset Pin: Making this pin LOW, resets the microcontroller.

Communication

Arduino can be used to communicate with a computer, another Arduino board or other microcontrollers. The
ATmega328P microcontroller provides UART TTL (5V) serial communication which can be done using digital
pin 0 (Rx) and digital pin 1 (Tx). An ATmega16U2 on the board channels this serial communication over USB
and appears as a virtual com port to software on the computer. The ATmega16U2 rmware uses the standard
USB COM drivers, and no external driver is needed. However, on Windows, a .inf le is required. The Arduino
software includes a serial monitor which allows simple textual data to be sent to and from the Arduino board.
There are two RX and TX LEDs on the arduino board which will ash when data is being transmitted via the
USB-to-serial chip and USB connection to the computer (not for serial communication on pins 0 and 1). A
SoftwareSerial library allows for serial communication on any of the Uno's digital pins. The ATmega328P also
supports I2C (TWI) and SPI communication. The Arduino software includes a Wire library to simplify use of the
I2C bus.

Arduino Uno to ATmega328 Pin Mapping

When ATmega328 chip is used in place of Arduino Uno, or vice versa, the image below shows the pin mapping
between the two.

Software

Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is required to program the Arduino Uno board.
Download it here (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software).

Programming Arduino

Once arduino IDE is installed on the computer, connect the board with computer using USB cable. Now open
the arduino IDE and choose the correct board by selecting Tools>Boards>Arduino/Genuino Uno, and choose
the correct Port by selecting Tools>Port. Arduino Uno is programmed using Arduino programming language
based on Wiring. To get it started with Arduino Uno board and blink the built-in LED, load the example code
by selecting Files>Examples>Basics>Blink. Once the example code (also shown below) is loaded into your IDE,
click on the ‘upload’ button given on the top bar. Once the upload is nished, you should see the Arduino’s
built-in LED blinking.  Below is the example code for blinking:

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever

void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
