ARDUINO FOR BEGINNERS

RICHARD R. PANES, MAT-ICT


TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION

What is ARDUINO?
Arduino is an open source programmable circuit board
that can be integrated into a wide variety of
makerspace projects both simple and complex. This
board contains a microcontroller which is able to be
programmed to sense and control objects in the
physical world. By responding to sensors and inputs,
the Arduino is able to interact with a large array of
outputs such as LEDs, motors and displays. Because of
it’s flexibility and low cost, Arduino has become a very
popular choice for makers and makerspaces looking to
create interactive hardware projects.

Arduino was introduced back in 2005 in Italy by Massimo


Banzi as a way for none engineers to have access to a low
cost, simple tool for creating hardware projects. Since the
board is open-source, it is released under a Creative
Commons license which allows anyone to produce their
own board. If you search the web, you will find there are
hundreds of Arduino compatible clones and variations
available but the only official boards have Arduino in it’s
name.

ARDUINO UNO
One of the most popular Arduino boards out there is the
Arduino Uno. While it was not actually the first board to be
released, it remains to be the most actively used and most
widely documented on the market. Because of its extreme
popularity, the Arduino Uno has a ton of project tutorials
and forums around the web that can help you get started or
out of a jam. We’re big fans of the Uno because of it’s great
features and ease of use

Board Breakdown
Here are the components that make up an Arduino board
and what each of their functions are.
1. Reset Button – This will restart any code that is loaded to
the Arduino board
2. AREF – Stands for “Analog Reference” and is used to set
an external reference voltage
3. Ground Pin – There are a few ground pins on the Arduino
and they all work the same

4. Digital Input/Output – Pins 0-13 can be used for digital


input or output
5. PWM – The pins marked with the (~) symbol can simulate
analog output. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is a powerful
technique for controlling analog circuits with a
microcontroller's digital outputs.
6. USB Connection – Used for powering up your Arduino and
uploading sketches
7. TX/RX – Transmit and receive data indication LEDs

8. ATmega Microcontroller – This is the brains and is where
the programs are stored
9. Power LED Indicator – This LED lights up anytime the
board is plugged in a power source
10.Voltage Regulator – This controls the amount of voltage
going into the Arduino board.
11.DC Power Barrel Jack – This is used for powering your
Arduino with a power supply.
12.3.3V Pin – This pin supplies 3.3 volts of power to your
projects.

13.5V Pin – This pin supplies 5 volts of power to


your projects.
14.Ground Pins – There are a few ground pins on
the Arduino and they all work
the same.
15.Analog Pins – These pins can read the signal
from an analog sensor and
convert it to digital.

Arduino Breadboard
Another very important item when working with Arduino is a
solderless breadboard. This device allows you to prototype your
Arduino project without having to permanently solder the circuit
together. Using a breadboard allows you to create temporary
prototypes and experiment with different circuit designs. Inside the
holes (tie points) of the plastic housing, are metal clips which are
connected to each other by strips of conductive material.

Note
On a side note, the breadboard is not powered on its
own and needs power brought to it from the Arduino
board using jumper wires. These wires are also used
to form the circuit by connecting resistors, switches
and other components together.
