Why Arduino open source platform, the key is open source, that the spirit of creation
I like the open-source word, this is a wonderful concept that does not mean we do not support copyright law. Intellectual property rights must be protected, which is the fundamental guarantee for scientific and technological progress. Because of this protection, just let some genius ideas become a reality, and promote the development of civilization. This does not conflict with the open source, we need creativity! But creativity is nurtured, foster creativity in this stage, we need to open this idea!
Arduino open source platform is a good example!
First of all, so it is easy to design open source!
How to open hardware platform, Arduino select the Creative Commons license to ensure that no one is allowed to produce copies of the circuit board, but also to re-design, sales and even a replica of the original design.
The greatest advantage is the construction of the ecological environment! Free and Open Source!
I would like to describe its work processes, work is based on hardware: a programmable circuit board (called microcontroller); software Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), we can write code on a computer, and then write computer code and uploaded into the physical plate.
Arduino programming provides a good platform Powerise, before learning that knowledge must understand the following points.
What Arduino board do?
Reads various sensor signals processed output, control motors and other equipment, control your dreams.
First, what can you do?
Use the Arduino IDE software distribution control commands to the microcontroller! Realize your ideas.
third,
Third, the biggest advantage is the convenience Arduino, you only need a computer, a USB cable.
Fourth, programming the low starting point, Arduino IDE using a simplified version of C ++, the fixed and simple form.
Many different types of Arduino board, the key is the use of different microcontrollers, but they have in common is programmed using the Arduino IDE.
On the difference in function, like we grasp the following points:
1, the number of different Arduino board input and output.
2, showing the speed difference, difference in dimensions
3, the operating voltage difference needed, 3.7V or 5V.
4, embedded board no programming interface (hardware), must be purchased separately.
Arduino Uno is based ATmega328P microcontroller development board.
