ARDUINO

What is arduino?
⚫ Arduino is an open source platform based
around programmable development boards
that can be integrated into a range of simple
and complex projects.
⚫ An Arduino board contains a microcontroller
which can be programmed to sense and
control devices in the physical world. The
microcontroller is able to interact with a
large variety of components such as LEDs,
motors and displays.
Applications
⚫ Embedded system
⚫ Robotics
⚫ Motion control
⚫ DC motor control
⚫ Defense and security defense
⚫ Parking lot counter
⚫ Home and industrial automation
⚫ Water quality testing
⚫ Xoscillo ( open-source oscilloscope )
⚫ Count down timer for traffic lights
⚫ 5V: This pin is used as a regulated power supply voltage and it
is used to give supply to the board as well as onboard
components.
⚫ 3.3V: This pin is used to provide a supply of 3.3V which is
generated from a voltage regulator on the board
⚫ GND: This pin is used to ground the Arduino board.
⚫ Reset: This pin 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.
⚫ External Interrupt Pins: This pin is used to produce the External
interrupt and it is done by pin numbers 2 and 3.
⚫ PWM Pins: This pins 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:
⚫ SS: Pin number 10 is used as a Slave Select
⚫ MOSI: Pin number 11 is used as a Master Out Slave In
⚫ MISO: Pin number 12 is used as a Master In Slave Out
⚫ SCK: Pin number 13 is used as a Serial Clock
⚫ 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.
⚫ ICSP: In-Circuit Serial Programming. The users can program the
Arduino board's firmware using the ICSP pins.
⚫ The program or firmware with the advanced functionalities is received
by microcontroller with the help of the ICSP header.

⚫ I2C: Two-wire serial communication protocol. he I2C is a serial


communication protocol that uses SCL (Serial Clock) and SDA (Serial
Data) to receive and send data between two devices.
Arduino Architecture
⚫ Arduino’s processor basically uses the Harvard architecture where
the program code and program data have separate memory.
⚫ It consists of two memories:
⚫ Program memory
⚫ Data memory
⚫ The code is stored in the flash program memory, whereas the data
is stored in the data memory.
⚫ Atmega328 has:
⚫ 32 KB of flash memory for storing code (of which 0.5 KB is used for
the bootloader)
⚫ 2 KB of SRAM
⚫ 1 KB of EEPROM and operates with a clock speed of 16MHz.
Arduino Architecture
Arduino Pin Diagram – ATMEGA328
⚫ Arduino Uno consists of 14 digital input/output pins
(of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog
inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a
reset button.
⚫ Power Jack: Arduino can be power either from the
PC through a USB or through external source like
adaptor or a battery. It can operate on an external
supply of 7 to 12V. Power can be applied externally
through the pin Vin or by giving voltage reference
through the IO Ref pin.
⚫ Digital Inputs: It consists of 14 digital inputs/output
pins, each of which provide or take up 40mA
current. Some of them have special functions like
pins 0 and 1, which act as Rx and Tx respectively ,
for serial communication, pins 2 and 3-which are
external interrupts, pins 3,5,6,9,11 which provides
pwm output and pin 13 where LED is connected.
⚫ Analog inputs: It has 6 analog input/output pins,
each providing a resolution of 10 bits.
⚫ ARef: It provides reference to the analog inputs
⚫ Reset: It resets the microcontroller when low.
Types of Arduino
Arduino boards come in various types, each designed for specific applications and user
requirements:
⚫ Arduino Uno: The most popular and widely used Arduino board, suitable for
beginners and advanced users alike. It features a simple design with various
input/output pins, making it versatile for many projects.
⚫ Arduino Nano: A smaller version of the Uno, featuring a compact form factor with
similar functionalities. Ideal for projects with limited space or for creating portable
devices.
⚫ Arduino Mega: Designed for projects requiring a large number of input/output
pins and more processing power. It offers greater memory and more pins compared
to the Uno, making it suitable for complex applications.
⚫ Arduino Due: Built on a different microcontroller architecture (ARM Cortex),
providing faster processing speed and more memory compared to traditional AVR-
based Arduinos. Suitable for high-performance applications.
⚫ Arduino Leonardo: Similar to the Uno but with built-in USB capabilities, allowing
it to act as a mouse or keyboard. Ideal for projects requiring HID (Human Interface
Device) functionalities.
⚫ Arduino Pro Mini: A smaller and more stripped-down version of the Uno,
designed for minimalistic projects or applications where space is a constraint.
⚫ Arduino MKR Series: Includes various models like MKR1000, MKRZero, MKR
WiFi 1010, etc., featuring built-in connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and LoRa. Ideal for IoT (Internet of Things) projects.
⚫ Arduino LilyPad: Designed for wearable electronics and e-textile projects,
featuring a round shape and sewable design. It can be integrated into clothing or
fabric-based projects.
⚫ Arduino Nano Every: An updated version of the Nano, offering improved features
and compatibility with the classic Nano. It provides more memory and additional
functionalities while maintaining a compact size.
⚫ Arduino Zero: Similar to the Due but with a lower cost and reduced features. It
features the same microcontroller architecture (ARM Cortex) as the Due but with
fewer input/output pins and memory.
