FYP 2 - Week 5


The Microcontroller (Arduino)

Objective: To investigate the the microcontroller ( Arduino Uno )

Analysis/Procedure:


The Arduino microcontroller is an easy to use yet powerful single board computer. It is open-source in which means the price is reasonable along with free development software. The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It operates at 5V as well as 2Kb or RAM. There are also 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. Everything needed to support the microcontroller is in the Arduino UNO by connecting it to a USB cable of a personal computer or with an AC-to-DC adapter and also battery to get started.
