Arduino is an open-source hardware/software programming platform based on Atmel microcontrollers. Open source means that circuit schematics and software source
code used in design can be obtained for free, and enthusiasts can modify them. The Arduino development board, along with its analog and digital inputs and
outputs, is an ideal choice for artists, designers, and electronics enthusiasts who wish to assemble systems together without requiring extensive knowledge of
digital design. The concave connectors arranged in a row can provide input and output signals on the Arduino board, and a single lead or single column (SIL) connector can be inserted into it.
The Arduino development board will have at least:
9 digital pins that can be used as input/output channels. Some of them can be set as PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) outputs. The PWM signal is a square wave,
and its pulse width can be changed. PWM is used for speed and position control of motors and servers in robotics and remote control applications
4 analog input channels.
At least one serial port, which can also be used to download code to Arduino
Some boards also have a series of analog output channels.
The functionality of pins is highly flexible, with some pins being configurable as analog or digital. Digital pins can be configured as inputs or outputs.
When Arduino boards receive input from sensors connected to these analog and digital inputs, they sense the surrounding environment. They can also control actuators
such as motors, alarms, and electric valves, or turn on LEDs, lights, or other visual indicators. The output driving capability is limited, so transistors, FETS, or relays
must usually be used between the Arduino output pin and the driven device. However, there is an output that can directly drive the LED.
