rduino is an open-source electronics platform based on simple software and hardware.

It
consists of a microcontroller, a development environment (IDE), and a set of libraries that
make it easy to program and interact with physical devices like sensors, actuators, motors, and
displays.

Here’s an overview of key components of Arduino:

1. Arduino Board

• The Arduino board contains a microcontroller that can be programmed to control


various devices. The most popular Arduino boards include:
o Arduino Uno: A versatile board used for most beginner projects.
o Arduino Mega: A larger board with more input/output pins and memory for
complex projects.
o Arduino Nano: A compact board for small projects.

2. Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)

• The Arduino IDE is a software where you can write and upload your programs
(called sketches) to an Arduino board. It is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.
• The IDE uses the C/C++ programming language with some simplified syntax for ease
of use.

3. Arduino Sketch

• An Arduino sketch is the code that runs on an Arduino board. It consists of two main
functions:
o setup(): This function runs once when the program starts and is used to
initialize settings like pin modes.
o loop(): This function runs repeatedly after setup() and controls the
program's main functionality.

4. Common Components

• LEDs: Often used to indicate the status or feedback from the program.
• Sensors: Devices that detect environmental conditions like temperature, humidity,
light, etc. Examples include DHT11 (temperature and humidity), PIR (motion
detection), and ultrasonic sensors for distance.
• Motors: DC motors, stepper motors, and servo motors are controlled using Arduino.
• Displays: LCDs, LEDs, and OLED screens to display information.
• Actuators: Devices that perform actions, like relays and servos.

5. Example Project: Blink an LED

Here is a simple example of a program (sketch) to blink an LED on pin 13 of an Arduino


Uno:

cpp
Copier le code
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn the LED off
delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}

6. Shields

• Arduino Shields are pre-built circuit boards that plug directly into the Arduino board
to add extra functionality. Popular shields include:
o Motor Shield: For controlling motors.
o Ethernet Shield: To connect the Arduino to the internet via an Ethernet cable.
o LCD Shield: For adding an LCD display.

7. Arduino Libraries

• Libraries are collections of pre-written code that allow you to interact with specific
sensors, actuators, or devices. You can easily import them into your sketch to control
more complex components.
