Arduino Uno: purpose, description of the platform

The Arduino community is a huge number of users, a lot of educational materials, projects and turnkey solutions, which are used in various applications. The company also offers a very simple method of communication with external peripheral devices. Initially, the base Arduino was designed to enable the connection of various actuators and sensors to the microcontroller without using any additional circuits. The development of simple devices and applications do not require deep knowledge in electronics. 

Arduino Uno is an open platform that allows you to collect a variety of electronic devices. This Board will be useful and interesting for creative people, programmers, designers and other enquiring minds who love to design their own gadgets. Arduino Uno can operate in conjunction with a PC. All depends on the purpose and ideas.

The Arduino Uno consists of hardware and software that is extremely flexible and easy to operate. For programming use a simplified version of C++ (Wiring). The design can be done on free software Arduino IDE and on the basis of arbitrary instrumentation of C/C++. The device supports operating systems Linux, MacOS and Windows. For programming and communication with a computer using a USB cable, and to work offline requires power supply (6-20V). Designed for beginners ready-made kits for designing electronics - a series of "Matryoshka".

Arduino Uno can communicate with other Arduino, computers and microcontrollers. Platform allows the device to provide the series connection through contacts RX (0) and TX (1). The ATmega16U2 processor broadcasts the connection via the USB port: as a result, the PC installs the additional virtual COM port. The Arduino software includes a utility that carries out the exchange of text messages on the created channel. On the Board set the RX and TX LEDs that glow during the transfer of information between the computer and the processor ATmega162U. The separate library can make a call using different contacts, not limited to zero and one. And with the optional expansion cards it is possible to arrange other ways of interaction, for example, Wi-Fi, a radio channel network, an Ethernet.

Arduino Uno smd has a special safety device that protects your USB ports from short circuits and overvoltage. Although computers and have their own protection, the fuse provides additional confidence. He is able to break the connection if the USB port is supplied current more than 500mA, and restores it when the current comes back to normal. 

It's true that Arduino is a very flexible and functional platform for developing various applications. It has huge opportunities for interaction with peripheral devices. Arduino is perfectly located for exploring microcontrollers, and can also serve as a basis for small projects.

Additionally, if you need some of the DIY Arduino module board, you could search at Banggood, which is one of the wholesale platform to provide you the low prices. Such as, cortex m4 development board, tec1-12705, etc.
