What is Arduino hardware and software?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs – light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.

How do you code an Arduino?

1. Use your Arduino Uno on the Arduino Web IDE.
2. Use your Arduino Uno on the Arduino Desktop IDE. Install the board drivers. Open your first sketch. Select your board type and port. Upload the program. Learn more on the Desktop IDE.
3. Tutorials.

What are the pins on an Arduino board?

Each Arduino board has a number of digital I/O pins (on the Arduino Nano, these are labelled D0 to D13) and a number of analog I/O pins (A0 to A7 on the Arduino Nano). Digital pins can be used as a digital input (read a high or low voltage) and as a digital output (be turned on or off by the program).

What do you need to know about the Arduino IDE?

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment – or Arduino Software (IDE) – contains a text editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions and a series of menus.

What kind of PCB is an Arduino board?

Arduino boards are small PCBs built around a microcontroller, which you can program with the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment). You can learn more about the Arduino project at https://www.arduino.cc. There are many different Arduino boards available.

What do you call a program written on an Arduino?

Programs written using Arduino Software (IDE) are called sketches. These sketches are written in the text editor and are saved with the file extension.ino. The editor has features for cutting/pasting and for searching/replacing text. The message area gives feedback while saving and exporting and also displays errors.
