What is Arduino, how arduino work and everything you need to know about Arduino- Arduino for beginners
What is The Arduino
today I'm talking about what is the Arduino in simply for beginnersArduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy hardware and software. Arduino designs and manufactures a simple circuit board with a microcontroller. The microcontroller is an IC. it made by Atmel Company
Therefore, it is very easy to create electronic circuits (Digital devices) and related equipment that are not easy to do. You can use it easily, even if you know very little about electronics. Only a small program code is required to control this board.
Therefore, this is a very popular platform. Since it is open-source, anyone can easily change or improve things.
The microcontroller is mounted on a board for ease of use. For a microcontroller to work, we need to tell it what to do. A microcontroller does not understand the speaking language or writing language.
If you've studied ICT, you know that it only understands 1 and 0.Arduino uses software to write and insert code to make this microcontroller understandable. The Arduino IDE software is used for this purpose.
Using this software, writing code and putting it into the IC. Then, IC works in the same way as the previous code. This software is an open-source software developed by the Arduino company itself. Click on the link below to download it.

Different types of Arduino boards are made to suit different work. Choosing a matching board will make your work easier and save money.
Therefore, it is important that you know the types of Arduino boards and how they work.

If you are a beginner to Arduino, it is best to buy one of these boards and focus on learning Arduino.
- Arduino Uno
- Arduino Leonardo
- Arduino Micro
- Arduino Nano
I recommend the Arduino Uno board
to buy this board, follow this link- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=arduino+uno&_sacat=0&LH_FS=1&_sop=15&rt=nc&LH_ItemCondition=3
About Arduino Uno board (details)
- ATmega328p microchip- the brain of this board. The writing code is stored and executed. it has a 32KB flash memory. this memory can store a big code.
- Reset button- when this is pressed, it starts all over again.
- 5v regulator- main supply voltage convert to 5v
- Power in- the board can be operated by providing 12V and 7V power to this port
- tx/rx led- it indicates tx and rx communications
- power led- after giving power to the board, it indicates
- PWM- pulse width modulation

Learn to Use
Install the software I mentioned earlier to your computer. To program an Arduino board, you must have a computer. It is possible to program an Arduino board using the latest OTG (USB On The Go) mobile phone.But do this only if you don't have a computer. Leave a comment below to find out how to do it.
Connect your Arduino board to your computer. The connecting wire comes with the Arduino board. Then open the Arduino IDE. Then you can see the software with a new window as shown in the image below.
You just connected the Arduino board to your computer. If properly connected, it is easily identified by the Arduino IDE. To check if it has been detected, do so in the image below.
tools>>port>>selected bord
If the board you are connected to does not show there, it is not recognized by the software.
Check the drivers for the computer.
I have attached an Arduino Uno board. So identified as COM12 (Arduino/genuino Uno). Now you can write the codes and upload them to the board.
This post provides basic knowledge about Arduino (What is the Arduino)
We'll talk in the next post about writing code and uploading it to the board. (blink led)
