What Is Arduino and What You Can Do with It

Now people in the world, keen appliances, there is a real "arduinomaniya". That little mysterious device dedicated to thousands of articles, hundreds of blogs and forums. So what is it - Arduino? And why he gained so much popularity?

The Arduino is a small electronic device that consists of a single printed circuit board, which is able to manage different sensors, motors, lighting, send and receive data ... Arduino - it is a whole family of devices of various sizes and capacities. And it's a whole zoo clones Arduino and Arduino world-compatible devices. But let's take first things first.

"Brain" Arduino - this microcontroller is form Atmega. The microcontroller is a microprocessor with memory and various peripherals implemented on a single chip. In fact, this one-chip microcomputer that can perform relatively simple tasks. Different models come with different family Arduino microcontrollers. Such microcontrollers are on the Arduino UNO and the Arduino Nano V3 Pins (but in the other case).

Hands in this case serve as electrical terminals, placed on the perimeter of the Arduino board. There are lots of boards with pins, there are smaller. For example, the largest salary in Arduino family - the Arduino the Mega - has more than 70 independent conclusions, and the smallest - the Arduino the Pro the Mini is a total of 22 output.

Not all the conclusions have the same Arduino. There are findings of digital, and there are analog. The principal difference between them is that the digital output may be only two values: a logic "1" (TRUE, from 3 to 5 volts) or logic "0" (FALSE, from 0 to 1.5 volts), and at the analog output - ranging from logic 1 to 0 is divided into many small sections. BTW, you can select the Arduino cable at Banggood for high quality and reasonable prices.
