Arduino Overview
Arduino is an easy to use hardware and software-based prototyping platform (open source). It consists of a programmable circuit board (referred to as microcontroller) and shelf software called Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) a composition for the computer code is written and uploaded to the physical board.
The main features are:
-
Arduino board can read an analog or digital input signals from various sensors, and converted to an output, such as activating the motor to open / close the LED, connected to a plurality of cloud like operation.
-
You can send a set of instructions to control panel function through the Arduino IDE (referred to upload software) to the microcontroller board.
-
Unlike most previous different programmable circuit boards, Arduino no additional hardware (referred to as the programmer) to load the new code to the plate. You simply use the USB cable.
-
In addition, Arduino IDE using a simplified version of C ++, making it easier to learn programming.
-
Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor, the functions of the microcontroller to break into more easy to use software package
