Arduino is an open-source hardware platform used to build interactive electronic projects by providing a standard hardware and software environment. The document provides instructions on installing the Arduino software, selecting a board, connecting the board to a computer via USB, uploading a sample "Blink" program to make an onboard LED blink, and an overview of the Arduino programming model using setup() and loop() functions.

1. Introduction-to-Arduino

2. INTRODUCTION TO ARDUINO
• Arduino is an open-source computer
hardware that designs and
manufactures single-board
microcontrollers and microcontroller kits.The
boards are equipped with sets of digital and
analog input/output (I/O) pins.

3. Operating system None
CPU
Atmel AVR (8-bit),
ARM Cortex-M0+ (32-bit),
ARM Cortex-M3 (32-bit),
Intel Quark (x86) (32-bit)
Memory SRAM
Storage Flash, EEPROM

4. Various types of Arduino’s available

6. ARDUINO SOFTWARE INSTALLATION:
• Step 1: Download the Arduino open source
software from
https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
• Step 2: Install the software.
• Step 3: As the last step of installation it
prompts you a dialog box whether to install
driver or not. Click Install.

8. Step 4: After installing open the Arduino software.

9. Step 5: Statements in Setup() is executed only once. Statements
in Loop() is executed infinitely until powered off.

10. Step 6: Select the Board that is to be programmed.

11. Step 7: Connect the Arduino board with Laptop via USB and
select the port in the Arduino Software.

12. Step 8: Open the Blink Program from File–>Examples–>Basics–
>Blink. Blink program is to blink the inbuilt LED of 13 th pin with a
sec delay.

13. Step 9: Upload the program to the Board with the Upload
button. If a new program is created it can be compiled.

15. Step 10: LED in the 13 Th pin in Arduino Uno blinks with a
sec delay.
