Arduino
Arduino
power source.
5V: This pin of the Arduino board is used as a regulated power supply voltage and it is used to give
supply to the board as well as on board components.
3.3V: This pin of the board is used to provide a supply of 3.3V which is generated from a voltage
regulator on the board
GND: This pin of the board is used to ground the Arduino board.
Reset: This pin of the board is used to reset the microcontroller. It is used to Resets the
microcontroller.
Analog Pins: The pins A0 to A5 are used as an analog input and it is in the range of 0-5V.
Digital Pins: The pins 0 to 13 are used as a digital input or output for the Arduino board.
Serial Pins: These pins are also known as a UART pin. It is used for communication between the
Arduino board and a computer or other devices. The transmitter pin number 1 and receiver pin
number 0 is used to transmit and receive the data resp.
External Interrupt Pins: This pin of the Arduino board is used to produce the External interrupt and it
is done by pin numbers 2 and 3.
PWM Pins: This pins of the board is used to convert the digital signal into an analog by varying the
width of the Pulse. The pin numbers 3,5,6,9,10 and 11 are used as a PWM pin.
SPI Pins: This is the Serial Peripheral Interface pin, it is used to maintain SPI communication with the
help of the SPI library. SPI pins include:
LED Pin: The board has an inbuilt LED using digital pin-13. The LED glows only when the digital pin
becomes high.
AREF Pin: This is an analog reference pin of the Arduino board. It is used to provide a reference
voltage from an external power supply.
