Chapter One:
Introducing Arduino
What is Arduino?
Arduino is an electronics system used to create interactive objects for human comfort. It is a mini computer with hardware and software components that is capable of working online or offline. Its software component, the Arduino IDE, can be downloaded from the Arduino website, and it comes with several easy-to-use features and capabilities. The Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to initiate commands for the hardware component, development board, and runs fine on all operating systemsa situation that made it a cross-platform microcontroller.
The development board is a programmable, ready-to-use circuit designed to take coded instructions from the IDE and affect prompt execution. In executing required actions, the Arduino board works closely with the connected sensors and input devices, being tools used to control electronics and build interactive objects. The board uses these tools to read inputs, control outputs, and execute desired actions.
Arduino is an open-source programmable platform, meaning that it enjoys program flexibility. Its programs move to the Arduino development board via a USB cable. This board is capable of performing several tasks in the physical world. It can sense and control objects, respond to sensors and inputs, and handle all sorts of outputs, including LEDs and displays. Its ability to create interactive hardware projects and breathe life into amazing project imaginations have made it the popular choice for people who work in both professional and hobby industries. Written-and-run IDE programs are commonly known as sketch instruction codes that the Arduino board uses to build hardware projects. Programming languages are used to code instructions for the board to create interactive objects.
Arduinobeing a microcontrollercomes with an integrated circuit that records coded instructions and has all the required peripherals to connect input and output components of regular personal computers. Its serial communication peripheral means that Arduino can work well on personal computers. Arduino comes with 14 digital pins numbered from 0 to 13. These pins can run both input and output operations, depending on their setup. They are designed to read voltage as high or low when set as inputs but will go a step further to apply voltage when set as outputs. These pins aid serial communication between Arduino and other electronics, especially when new instruction codes are uploaded. Digital badges are to be used only for serial interface, or they may soon run out.
Like many other microcontrollers, Arduino works mainly via its input and exit interfaces. The input interface can be connected directly to the computer through ports or linked through its peripherals and can aid the transfer of data from the computer to the Arduino board, where it would be processed. The exit interface picks up the job once the data gets to the Arduino board.
Why Arduino?
Already, Arduino has become the popular choice of many people in the professional and hobby industries, and its acceptance is growing daily thanks to fantastic hardware projects that people build with it. The pertinent question on the lips of many people is: what makes Arduino unique or different from other microcontrollers? In answering this question, a co-founder of Arduino Massimo Banzi highlighted the reasons why Arduino has remained the choice of many (Louis, 2016):
Active User Community: Arduino offers a free interactive community for its teeming users to share ideas, experiences, and get their everyday troubleshooting issues resolved. Users of similar products now have the opportunity to share thoughts via posted conversations.
User-friendly Features: Arduino is a user-friendly microcontroller capable of creating hardware devices that could interact with the environment through sensors and actuators. Its trouble-free features have made it the go-to microcontroller for creating amazing hardware projects.
Inexpensive Hardware: Arduino is an open-source, programmable microcontroller. Users do not have to purchase hardware designs or software; only the board or needed parts need to be purchased. You can download the hardware designs and the software online free of charge from www.arduino.cc , the official website of Arduino.
The versatility of the Arduino Board: One thing that makes the Arduino board unique is its versatility. It is easy to use and usable everywhere. It can function as a programmer, and its USB cable is strong enough to moderate its power requirements.
