Arduino - Introduction

Arduino is a open source prototype platform based on an easy-to-use hardware and software. It consists of a circuit board, which can be programed and a ready-made software called Arduino IDE, which is used to write and upload the code to the physical board. It is referred as the microcontroller.

Few key features are,

• Arduino boards are able to read analog input signals.
• Arduino boards are able to read digital input signals.
• Data are collected from different sensors and turn it into an output.
• Convert output such as activating a motor, turning LED on/off, connect to the cloud and many other actions.
• You can control your board functions by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board via Arduino IDE.
• Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, Arduino does not need an extra piece of hardware (called a programmer/Loader) in order to load a new code onto the board. You can simply use a USB cable.
• Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program.
• Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks the functions of the micro-controller into a more accessible package.
