Week 6 ( FYP 2)

Title : Research about the Arduino Uno

After meeting with the supervisor, me and mdm azliza have come to a conclusion that I can change from using microcontroller ATMEL to using Arduino Uno.

OBJECTIVES :

• To understand about Arduino Uno.

·         Function of  Arduino Uno.

·         Learning the Schematic of Arduino Uno .

Image of Arduino Uno

Arduino Uno schematic

  The Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. You can tinker with your UNO without worrying too much about doing something wrong, worst case scenario you can replace the chip for a few dollars and start over again.

As for the conclusion, I preffered using Arduino Uno than microcontroller ATMEL because it more easy and simple to comprehend.
