ARDUINO
Hello everyone..Following to my earlier blog 2bold.bloggspot.com , i have decided to dedicate a new blog on the outlook of technology currently in function.
My this blog is about ARDUINO or ARDUINO UNO. If you have any knowledge related to the ongoing advancement in the electronic sector, you might have come across the word ARDUINO.Have you ever wondered what it is?
Well, I will take you step by step about ARDUINO.
In laymen language an ARDUINO board is a PC on board. Its just a small board with all the functions and more than PC.
ARDUINO started in 2005 as a project for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy. At that time program students used a "BASIC Stamp" at a cost of $100, considered expensive for students. Massimo Banzi, one of the founders, taught at Ivrea.[4] The name "Arduino" comes from a bar in Ivrea, where some of the founders of the project used to meet. The bar, in turn, has been named after Arduin of Ivrea, who was the margrave of Ivrea and King of Italy from 1002 to 1014. (according to source from Wikipedia)
ARDUINO is an open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures microcontroller -based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world.
ARDUINO is described by its makers as "an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software," whatever that means. In short, it is a popular open-source electronic board that is capable of controlling just about any DIY hardware project. And there's a lot you can do with it.
As she continues to explain further that:
"The 'what is Arduino?' is still a little vague, and that's the Arduino's strength. It's the glue people use to connect tasks together.The best way to describe an Arduino is with a few examples. Want to have a coffee pot tweet when the coffee is ready? Arduino. Want to have a Professor X Steampunk wheelchair that speaks and dispenses booze? Arduino. Want to make a set of quiz buzzers for an event out of Staples' Easy Buttons? Arduino."
"Arduino was mostly designed by artists for artists and designers...I think it's been the most important product/project in the world of educational electronics.”
So, ARDUINO is basically a board that is specially designed for the architectural experience of ECE students or researchers.
An ARDUINO board historically consists of an Atmel 8-, 16- or 32-bit AVR microcontroller (although since 2015 other makers' microcontrollers have been used) with complementary components that facilitate programming and incorporation into other circuits. An important aspect of the ARDUINO is its standard connectors, which lets users connect the CPU board to a variety of interchangeable add-on modules known as shields. Some shields communicate with the ARDUINO board directly over various pins, but many shields are individually addressable via an I²C serial bus—so many shields can be stacked and used in parallel. Prior to 2015 Official ARDUINO had used the Atmel megaAVR series of chips, specifically the ATmega8, ATmega168, ATmega328, ATmega1280, and ATmega2560 and in 2015 units by other manufacturers were added. A handful of other processors have also been used by ARDUINO compatible devices. Most boards include a 5 V linear regulator and a 16 MHz crystal oscillator (or ceramic resonator in some variants), although some designs such as the LilyPad run at 8 MHz and dispense with the onboard voltage regulator due to specific form-factor restrictions. An ARDUINO's microcontroller is also pre-programmed with a boot loader that simplifies uploading of programs to the on-chip flash memory, compared with other devices that typically need an external programmer. This makes using an ARDUINO more straightforward by allowing the use of an ordinary computer as the programmer. Currently, optiboot bootloader is the default bootloader installed on ARDUINO UNO.
The original Arduino hardware was manufactured by the Italian company Smart Projects.Some Arduino-branded boards have been designed by the American companies SparkFun Electronics and Adafruit Industries. Seventeen versions of the Arduino hardware have been commercially produced to date.
Here is given the input and outputs of a standard ARDUINO UNO board.Arduino and Arduino-compatible boards use printed circuit expansion boards called "shields", which plug into the normally supplied Arduino pin headers. Shields can provide motor controls, GPS, Ethernet, LCD, or breadboarding (prototyping). A number of shields can also be made DIY.
