What is Arduino? What Can You Do with Arduino?

What is Arduino?

Arduino is a development board that has become essential for electronic projects. Due to its open-source nature, affordability, and the ease of finding projects online, Arduino has become indispensable for robot projects. Moreover, it is very easy to use. You can upload software into it with just a USB cable. Simply connect your Arduino board to your computer with a cable and upload your software to Arduino using the program you download from the Arduino website.

What are the Types of Arduino?

Since Arduino has an open-source structure, including its clones, we can say that there are over a hundred models worldwide. Generally, the most commonly used Arduino types are;

Arduino Uno is the most preferred product for general-purpose projects.
Arduino Mega has more input and output pins compared to the Uno model, making it suitable for more detailed projects.
Arduino Nano is a smaller board that can be used by placing it on a breadboard. If you need minimum space occupation, you can also prefer the pro mini model.
Lilypad models are sewable on clothing. You can use them in wearable projects.

Arduino Uno

Uno; is the most popular among Arduino boards. It is preferred for robot competitions, Arduino projects, and smart systems. With Arduino Uno, you can create projects like line-following robots, mini sumo robots, and Bluetooth-controlled devices. Its reasonable price and usability in most small-scale projects make Arduino Uno the first choice.

Arduino Uno model has 14 digital and 6 analog I/O pins. Unlike smaller models, it has a jack input for external power supply.

What Can You Do with Arduino?

You can do almost all electronic projects you can think of with Arduino. Although you cannot integrate multiple projects into one Arduino, you can easily use Arduino in thousands or even tens of thousands of projects, such as smart home projects, security systems, robot technologies, warning circuits for temperature-light-gas-motion-inclination-distance, communication systems, 3D printers, RFID card reading systems, Linux or Android-based systems, image processing, drone projects, and many more.

How to Program Arduino

Arduino uses a programming language based on C. Those who know C, C++, or C# can use Arduino without difficulty. Those who do not know can learn easily. A simple programming language is used, and professional programming knowledge is not required. With some programming and circuit knowledge, you can make your projects.
