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. Arduino boards commonly include power inputs, pins for voltage, ground, analog, digital, and PWM signals, a reset button, power and TX/RX LEDs, the main integrated circuit, and a voltage regulator. Popular Arduino boards include the Uno, LilyPad, RedBoard, Mega, Leonardo, and shields that can be added to boards.

1. ARDUINO

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.

3. Parts of an Arduino board
● Some boards look a bit different from the one below, but most
Arduinos have the majority of these components in common:
● Power (USB / Barrel Jack) ...
● Pins (5V, 3.3V, GND, Analog, Digital, PWM, AREF) ...
● Reset Button. ...
● Power LED Indicator. ...
● TX RX LEDs. ...
● Main IC. ...
● Voltage Regulator.
