INTRODUCTION
A microcontroller board Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
Why Arduino?  Inexpensive  Multi Platform: Mac, PC, Linux  completely open-source hardware & software  Large Library support  simple and accessible user experience
DESIGN
COMPONENTS
Arduino Program Development
Arduino Types  Many different versions  Number of input/output channels  Form factor  Processor  Leonardo  Due  Micro  LilyPad  Esplora  Uno
Micro  When size matters: Micro, Nano, Mini  Includes all functionality of the Leonardo  Easily usable on a breadboard
Arduino Nano  Digital I/O Pins: 14  Clock speed 16 MHz
LilyPad  LilyPad is popular for clothing-based projects.
Esplora  Game controller  Includes joystick, four buttons, linear potentiometer (slider), microphone, light sensor, temperature sensor, three-axis accelerometer.  Not the standard set of IO pins.
Arduino Uno  The pins are in three groups:  Invented in 2010  14 digital pins  6 analog pins  power  Latest Arduino
Arduino Robot The Arduino Robot is the first official Arduino on wheels.  The robot has two processors, one on each of 2 bord  Programming similar to ‘Arduino Leonardo’
