Arduino UNO

Arduino Uno

Arduino Uno is a development board. It is flexible with any sensors and modules (for example: Ultrasonic, IR, lm35, GSM module, GPS module, etc.,).

Arduino UNO Board

Arduino Specifications:

• Microcontroller is ATmega328
• Atmega328 is 28 pin IC
• Operating Voltage 5V
• Input Voltage 7-12V (External power supply not USB)
• Digital I/O Pins are 14  (Represented as 0-13 of which 6 pins provide PWM output i.e., 3,5,6,9,10,11. These PWM pins mainly used for speed control of a dc motor and led fading/brightness)
• Analog Pins are 6 (Represented as A0-A5 to these we can connect any analog sensor’s, A4 and A5 SDA and SCL are respectively used for i2c communication)
• DC Current per I/O Pin is 40 mA
• Flash Memory 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5 KB used by the boot loader
• SRAM 2 KB
• EEPROM 1 KB
• Clock Speed crystal oscillator of 16 MHz to be connected externally

 Actually, the controller (atmega328) pins are divided into three ports named PORTB, PORTC, and PORTD. I will discuss the port information in the next blog.
