 Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and

software.
 Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a
Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online.
 You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller
on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring),
and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing.

 Power (USB(1) / Barrel Jack(2))
Every Arduino board needs a way to be connected to a power source. The Arduino UNO can
be powered from a USB cable coming from your computer or a wall power supply that is
terminated in a barrel jack.
 Pins (5V, 3.3V, GND, Analog, Digital, PWM, AREF)

The pins on your Arduino are the places where you connect wires to construct a circuit. They
usually have black plastic ‘headers’ that allow you to just plug a wire right into the board. The
Arduino has several different kinds of pins, each of which is labeled on the board and used for
different functions.
✓ GND (3): Short for ‘Ground’. There are several GND pins on the Arduino, any of which can
be used to ground your circuit.
✓ 5V (4) & 3.3V (5): As you might guess, the 5V pin supplies 5 volts of power, and the 3.3V pin
supplies 3.3 volts of power. Most of the simple components used with the Arduino run
happily off of 5 or 3.3 volts.
Cont.
✓ Analog (6): The area of pins under the ‘Analog In’ label (A0 through A5 on the UNO) are
Analog In pins. These pins can read the signal from an analog sensor (like a temperature
sensor) and convert it into a digital value that we can read.
✓ Digital (7): Across from the analog pins are the digital pins (0 through 13 on the UNO).
These pins can be used for both digital input (like telling if a button is pushed) and digital
output (like powering an LED).
✓ PWM (8): You may have noticed the tilde (~) next to some of the digital pins (3, 5, 6, 9,
10, and 11 on the UNO). These pins act as normal digital pins, but can also be used for
something called Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM). We have a tutorial on PWM, but for
now, think of these pins as being able to simulate analog output (like fading an LED in
and out).
✓ AREF (9): Stands for Analog Reference. Most of the time you can leave this pin alone. It is
sometimes used to set an external reference voltage (between 0 and 5 Volts) as the
upper limit for the analog input pins.
Cont.
 Reset Button
Pushing it will temporarily connect the reset pin to ground and restart any code that is
loaded on the Arduino. This can be very useful if your code doesn’t repeat, but you want to
test it multiple times.
 Power LED Indicator
Just beneath and to the right of the word “UNO” on your circuit board, there’s a tiny LED
next to the word ‘ON’ (11). This LED should light up whenever you plug your Arduino into a
power source. If this light doesn’t turn on, there’s a good chance something is wrong. Time
to re-check your circuit!
 TX RX LEDs
TX is short for transmit, RX is short for receive. These markings appear quite a bit in electronics
to indicate the pins responsible for serial communication. In our case, there are two places
on the Arduino UNO where TX and RX appear -- once by digital pins 0 and 1, and a second
time next to the TX and RX indicator LEDs (12). These LEDs will give us some nice visual
indications whenever our Arduino is receiving or transmitting data (like when we’re loading
a new program onto the board).
Cont.
 Main IC
The black thing with all the metal legs is an IC, or Integrated Circuit (13). Think of it as the
brains of our Arduino.
 Voltage Regulator
The voltage regulator (14) controls the amount of voltage that is let into the Arduino board.
Think of it as a kind of gatekeeper; it will turn away an extra voltage that might harm the
circuit. Of course, it has its limits, so don’t hook up your Arduino to anything greater than 20
volts. The Arduino Family
Thank You
