Arduino

Hello everyone!
Have you ever wondered that how the simple automation process are been controlled by electronics?
After reading this blog, you will be get answer for the above question.
So Let's get started...

There are different kind of methods to do automation but the simple and easiest way is by using Arduino platform.

What is Arduino?

Arduino is the open source electronic platform which is easy to use hardware and software.Arduino works on Windows, Mac and Linux operating system.It is more flexible and reliable for the users. Arduino Idle is user friendly because it provides various essential codes in example options like(blink an led, connection for external display etc...).It is also the best option for beginners to do automation projects.

1)Arduino boards read input from the sensor's (IR sensor, Ultrasonic sensor, Moisture sensor, Temperature sensor etc...)

2)By using Arduino Ide the user can write code based on the input data.

3)After uploading the  sketch(code) to the Arduino board, the user can turns into Output(like turning on the motor for a while, switching a led,etc...).

What is Arduino IDE?

 

Arduino IDE(Integrated Development Environment) is the open-source software that can be used compiled and upload sketch (codes) to Arduino board with the help of USB cable (Type-B).Non programmer's can also get work with it.Arduino uses it's own programing language which is similar to C and C++.If you know the basics of C/C++ then it would be "On cloud nine" for you guys. If not no problem, refer our blogs and arduino.cc to get better understanding of Arduino programs.

To install Arduino ide use the link below:
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/

One more bonus tip: That you can work with Arduino ide in mobile by downloading Arduino droid from play store.Then you can embedded the code into your Arduino board[note: you need to have Micro usb/type C to USB connector to upload your sketch to Arduino board].

Types Of Arduino boards 

• Arduino Uno R3
• Arduino Nano
• Arduino Mega
• Arduino Micro
• Arduino Due
• LilyPad Arduino Board
• Arduino Bluetooth
• Arduino Diecimila
• Arduino Zero
• Arduino Leonardo Board
• Arduino Esplora
• Arduino Pro Mic
• Arduino Robot
• Arduino Ethernet
• RedBoard Arduino Board

There are different types of Arduino boards but the Arduino Uno R3 is the most popular among the people due to the convenient working and it's availability. Since Arduino Uno is more favorable for beginners, Let's discuss about it.

Now, you know all about Arduino 

My future blogs will helps you to do some automation process by using Arduino.

We also do automation with some other kind of micro-controller chips  other than Arduino bords.

So stay connected with us and keep learning.

I will be give responce to all your comments. 

    THANK YOU!
