What Is Arduino Board?
The UNO is the best board, to begin with, gadgets and coding. On the off chance that this is your first experience tinkering with the stage, the UNO is the most powerful board you can begin playing with. The UNO is the most utilized and reported a leading group of the entire Arduino family.
Arduino is the open source platform that helps students to develop there own codes and projects. An Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board dependent on the ATmega328P IC(datasheet). It has 14 advanced in/out pins (of which 6 can be utilized as PWM pins i.e., Pulse Width Modulation, 6 simple sources of input, a 16 MHz quartz Xtal, a USB connector, a 5Volt power supply connector, an ICSP header and a reset push button. It contains everything expected to help the Microcontroller; essentially associate it to a PC with a USB lead or power it with an AC-to-DC connector or battery to begin. You can deal with your UNO without any worrying a lot about accomplishing something incorrectly if you are done anything wrong yan can easily replace the Atmega328p IC that is not costly (under 200/-) and begin your work again.
Arduino IDE software.
Arduino is a Micro-controller that performs operations with the program. The program is basically a code that is written in Java & Python language. The program is written in the software which is known as Arduino IDE. After compiling the program is burn in the Board by USB cable.
Description Of The IDE Screen:-
File
- New
To create the New sketch (or it opens the new Tab ).
- Open
To load the sketches browsing through the drives and folders from your PC.
- Open Recent
To opens the sketch that is recently opened.
- Sketchbook
It shows the current sketchbook folder in which all the sketches are saved.
- Examples
All the examples are shows here that are provided by the Arduino IDE for easy access. All examples are set in a pleasant way that will help you a lot.
- Close
It closes the tab of the software from which it is clicked.
- Save
To save the sketch with the name that you have given to the sketch.
- Save as...
To save the sketch again with another name.
- Page setup
This shows the page setup tab for printing.
- Print
To print the sketch you make.
- Preference
- Save
To save the sketch with the name that you have given to the sketch.
- Save as...
To save the sketch again with another name.
- Page setup
This shows the page setup tab for printing.
To print the sketch you make.
- Preference
It shows the additional settings to change the language and other settings.
- Quit
It closes all the IDE tabs. And the sketch that had opened previously when quit, is automatically opened when you start the IDE next time.
Edit
- Undo/Redo
It helps to go backwards when you are editing your sketch, and you may go forward with Redo.
- Cut
It cuts (or removes) the text and copyed it into the clipboard so you may copy it elsewhere.
- Copy
It copes the text to make the duplicate of it.
- Copy for Forum
Its copies the sketch code to the clipboard to posting the code into the forum with all syntax and colours.
- Copy as HTML
It copies the code as an HTML code that is best suitable to upload the code into the web page.
- Paste
To paste the code (or text) from the clipboard to where you point the cursor position in the Editor.- Quit
It closes all the IDE tabs. And the sketch that had opened previously when quit, is automatically opened when you start the IDE next time.

- Paste
- Select All
It selects all the text and Highlights it in the Editor.
- Comment/Uncomment
It puts the // comment or removes the // comment in every selected line in the editor.
- Increase/Decrease Indent
To adds or subtracts the space in the beginning of every selected line,
- Find
It opens the tab for Finding in the Text.
- Find Next
It is used to highlights the upcoming Occurrence of the specified search item in the find tab, With respect to the position of the cursor.
- Find Previous
It is used to highlights the previous occurrence of the specified search item in the find tab. With respect to the position of the cursor.
Sketch
- Verify/Compile
It is to verify or checks the code before uploading into the board, that is everything is correct or not.
If it's not then it shows the error.
- Upload
It verifies the code and uploads the sketch into the board through the selected PORT.
- Upload Using Programmer
It will overwrite the bootloader program into the board, (Tools > Burn Bootloader )
- Export Compiled Binary
It saves the .hex file that can be sent or archive into the board.
- Show Sketch Folder
It opens the current Folder where the sketches are saved.
- Include Library
It for including a library to the sketch by just typing the #include statement in the starting of the code. and for adding external library you need to go to the menu and library manager and import library from .zip.
- Add Files
Its used to Add the source file to the sketch.
Tools
- Auto Formate
It formats your code.
- Serial Monitor
It opens the serial monitor in the new tab. and shows the data when connected to the board with the com port.
- Board
It shows the different types of boards and you have to select the one on which you have to work on.
- Port
It shows all the com ports that are available in the machine, And it will automatically choose the appropriate COM for you and if not you have to select the COM port.
- Programmer
It shows the different hardware for the programmer when programming a board, Normally you don't have to select it but if you are burning the bootload into the new microcontroller then you have to select it.
- Burn Bootloader
It is used to burn the bootloader into the new microcontroller chip or IC. Normally you do not have to burn the bootloader into the Arduino and Genuino board but if you purchase a new ATmega IC then you have to do this.
- Comment/Uncomment
It puts the // comment or removes the // comment in every selected line in the editor.
- Increase/Decrease Indent
To adds or subtracts the space in the beginning of every selected line,
- Find
It opens the tab for Finding in the Text.
- Find Next
