Do you want to make a robot or something interesting
electronics project? Then you must should use Arduino. Even your engineering
teacher maybe told you to learn arduino. But you don’t know what is arduino?
Or, what can we do using Arduino? Ok, If you have this question in your brain
than I think you are at the right place. In this article I shall introduce you
with Arduino and it’s use. Let’s consider your first question.
What is Arduino?
Arduino is mainly a hardware and software company who
manufactured computer programmable microcontroller board and related software.
Arduino is a open source platform. That means all the resource files and
software is open to everybody and anybody can develop this board and software
to make it more useful.
If we want to know more about arduino at first we need to
know about microcontroller.
What is Microcontroller?
Microcontroller is a single chip microcomputer. It looks
like a Integrated Circuit (IC). We can control any electronics device by a
microcontroller using computer programme. Microcontroller is called as a mini
computer. Why we call it as a micro computer? Because Microcontroller has the
same characteristics of a desktop computer.
·
Computer has RAM and ROM. Microcontroller
also has both RAM and ROM.
·
Computer runs based on a programme which is
loaded in this computer. Microcontroller also needs a programme to run and
execute command.
·
Computer has input-output pin.
Microcontroller also has digital input-output pin. Basically this input output
pin is used to control led, motor, buzzer, display and reading value from
different sensor.
I think you have understood about microcontroller. Now
come back to our main topics about Arduino. Arduino provides different kinds of
microcontroller based hardware board. The arduino board is normally consists of
a microcontroller, some useable input-output pin, a regulated power circuit.
Arduino board has a built in programmer to burn the computer programme in the
microcontroller. So, Arduino board don’t need extra hardware to burn computer
programme in microcontroller.
What can we do using Arduino?
If you have already understand what is arduino than I
think your next question is what can we do using arduino? Ok, good question. I
think you should ask what cann’t we do using arduino? Surprising question. But
it should be the right answer. Because, you can develop any kind of electronics
project using this tiny arduino board. Arduino is developing day by day.
Different kind of sensor is now working with arduino because the developer
always works to make it more popular. From a simple Digital Thermometer to a
complex robot you can make using arduino. But here I am giving a short note
about some most popular arduino projects list which can be built by Arduino.
Arduino is now very popular in building Artificial Intelligence Robot. Here I have included only some project name. But in real life you can make different kind of project using Arduino.
- Digital Thermometer
- Digital Weather Station
- Laser Security System
- Smart Voting Machine
- Different kind of Robots
- CNC Machine
- Smart Security System
- Remote Controlling
- Drone
Arduino is now very popular in building Artificial Intelligence Robot. Here I have included only some project name. But in real life you can make different kind of project using Arduino.
How can we get started with Arduino?
Ok, I think you already fall in love of Arduino. Now in
this section I will tell you how to get started with arduino. At first you need
to collect a Arduino Board. There are different kinds of Arduino boards
available in market. But as beginner I always prefer to use Arduino Uno R3
board. It is perfect for starting. Arduino Uno R3 has 14 Digital Input Output
Pin, 6 Analog Input Pin, 7 pwm supported pin in digital input output pin.
Arduino also has RX and TX Pin which can make serial communication with any
device. Besides this we also need some additional device to make project. For
this, best practices is to buy a Arduino Starter Kit. This kit contains all
important components to start our journey of Arduino. I have also collected
this Arduino Starter Kit. In my serial Tutorial I will use this Starter Kit.
Collect your own kit before starting Arduino Journey.
How can we learn Arduino?
Ok, after collecting all needed components now it’s time
to learn arduino practically. In my site I will serially share tutorial which
will be very helpful for those who don’t know anything about arduino. Basically
we need to learn C Programming to programme our microcontroller in Arduino. If
you don’t know c programming don’t worry. I am here, to help you to learn
Arduino Programming. I will also provide project making tutorial. After
watching this tutorial you will be able to make your own arduino project at
your home.
Ok friends, in this article I have basically tried to
give your answer about What is Arduino? I think you have understand that what
is arduino. Now, if you are interested to learn arduino than stay with me. In
my website I will provide Arduino Tutorial with video. If you watch this video
you will learn Arduino Programming and will be Arduino Projects Master.
No more today. If you have any question about what is
arduino or something else, feel free to ask me. I shall try my best to provide
you the right answer. See you again in my next post. Till than stay safe.
