What is an Arduino ?
The Arduino is an … 
 single-board microcontroller, intended to make the 
application of interactive objects or environments more 
accessible . 
 Designed to make the process of using electronics 
multidisciplinary projects more accesible
Arduino can… 
 Sense the environment by receiving input from variety of sensors. 
 Affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other 
actuators.
Brief History of Arduino 
 In 2005, a project was initiated to make a device for controlling 
student-built interactive design projects that was less expensive 
than other prototyping systems available at the time. 
 Founders Massimo Banzi and David Cuartielles named the project 
after Arduin of Ivrea and began producing boards in a small factory 
located in Ivrea.
Programming Environment 
 The Arduino Uno can be programmed with the Arduino software 
IDE(integrated development environment) . 
 The Atmega328 on the Arduino Uno comes preburned with a 
Bootloader that allows you to upload new code to it without the use of 
an external hardware programmer. 
 You can also bypass the Bootloader and program the microcontroller 
through the ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) header. 
 Arduino IDE works on windows , linux as well as Mac lion X platforms.
Arduino IDE
Advantages of Aurdino 
Open source 
Simplified and user-friendly programming language 
No additional programmer/burner hardware required for 
programming board 
Portable 
Low power consumption

 Analog Input Pins 6 
 DC Current per I/O Pin 40 mA 
 DC Current for 3.3V Pin50 mA 
 Flash Memory 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 0.5 KB used by Bootloader 
 SRAM 2 KB (ATmega328) 
 EEPROM 1 KB (ATmega328) 
 Clock Speed 16 MHz

Arduino vs other environments 
 Support for analog input 
 Limited Computing power 
 Comparatively cheap 
 No GPU unit 
 Limited memory 
 PWM output available 
 Open source
Final thoughts 
 Arduino is a cheap and versatile open source prototyping 
environment 
 It is basically designed for novice , non technical people 
 Programming language is simple 
 Arduino has a terrific community support and documentation 
 Technical people can use Arduino for testing sensors or other 
prototyping work
