Introduction to Arduino

Slide 1: Introduction
Hello everyone! Have you ever wanted to create your own electronic projects, like a smart light
or a simple robot? Today, I’ll introduce you to Arduino, an easy-to-use platform that helps you
bring your ideas to life, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced maker.

Slide 2: What is Arduino?


Arduino is an open-source electronics board designed to make programming and hardware
interaction simple. It can read inputs, like button presses or sensor values, and control outputs,
such as LEDs, motors, or displays.

Slide 3: Key Components of an Arduino Board


A typical Arduino board includes:

 Microcontroller – The brain that processes instructions


 Input/output (I/O) pins – Connects to sensors, buttons, LEDs, and more
 USB interface – Used for programming and power
 Power supply – Can run on USB power or external batteries

Slide 4: Popular Arduino Boards


Different Arduino boards are available for various projects:

 Arduino Uno – Best for beginners, widely used


 Arduino Mega – More memory and I/O pins for larger projects
 Arduino Nano – Small and compact for space-constrained projects

Slide 5: Arduino Software (IDE)


To program an Arduino, you use the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE).
The IDE allows you to:

 Write code in a simplified version of C++


 Compile and upload the code to the board
 Monitor and debug using the built-in serial monitor
Slide 6: How Does Arduino Work?

1. Write code in the Arduino IDE


2. Upload the code to the board via USB
3. Arduino executes the instructions and interacts with connected components

Slide 7: Applications of Arduino


Arduino is used in a variety of fields, including:

 Smart homes – Automated lighting, security systems, and more


 Robotics – Controlling motors, sensors, and AI-based movement
 Wearable technology – Smart watches, health monitors
 STEM education – Learning programming and electronics in schools

Slide 8: Example Project – Blinking LED


One of the simplest projects to start with is making an LED blink:

void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn LED on
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn LED off
delay(1000); // Wait 1 second
}

This project demonstrates how Arduino controls an output using simple code.

Slide 9: Conclusion
Arduino is a fun, versatile, and beginner-friendly platform for learning electronics and
programming. With its open-source community and extensive resources, anyone can start
building amazing projects.
