Arduino is a development platform based on a free hardware electronic board that incorporates a re-programmable microcontroller and female pins to connect sensors and actuators. The Arduino board has a power source, pins for 5V, 3.3V, ground, analog, digital, PWM and AREF connections, a reset button, power and TX RX LED indicators, the main integrated circuit chip, and a voltage regulator.

2. What is Arduino?
● Arduino is a development platform based on a free hardware
electronic board that incorporates a re-programmable
microcontroller and a series of female pins, which allow to
establish connections between the microcontroller and the
different sensors and actuators in a very simple way.
