Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Hardware

Arduino consists of a family of single programmable circuit boards and the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that uses a streamlined version of C++ to write and upload code to the boards. Many pre-configured circuit boards, called “shields”, are available to expand the functionality of the Arduino controller. These shields can provide Ethernet, WiFi, GPS, LCD displays, and motor controls, among others, by simply “stacking” or connecting the shields to the Arduino controller board. This Lego-style building of electronic devices is becoming more popular.

The Arduino UNO is one of the best board to learn about electronics and coding. This robust board is the most used and documented board of the whole Arduino family.

We will be looking at the Elegoo Arduino UNO R3 Super Starter Kit. Opening up this great learning tool and discussing the Uno board itself.
Let’s get started.

What is Arduino?

Arduino consists of a family of single programmable circuit boards and the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that uses a streamlined version of C++ to write and upload code to the boards.

What is “open-source”?

The term “open source” is used to describe a program or software created by one developer that is available to be used and/or modified in any way by other developers and users without licensing fees, royalties due, or restrictions on the use of the source code. Open source has evolved to also include hardware, shared schematics, and PCB production files that are often readily available to anyone. This type of shared development has spawned an enormous “Maker” community. Numerous Maker sites can be found online with a vast collection of simple, helpful, and most of all reusable, DIY projects.

Open-Source Communities

Open-source communities and the websites dedicated to them provide sharing of ideas and finding innovative ways to solve complex problems. Sites like MakerPro and GitHub allow hobbyists and professionals to work together to create interesting solutions for difficult or everyday problems.

Why Arduino Uno?

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P chip. It has 14 digital pins. These pins can be programmed as an input or output. Six of these can be used as a PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) output. The board also has 6 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header (In-Circuit Serial Programming), and a reset button. It will operate at a 16 MHz, thanks to a ceramic resonator (CSTCE16M0V53-R0).
Connecting the board to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery will get you started.
“Uno” means one in Italian. It was released with the Arduino Software (IDE) 1.0. The Uno board and version 1.0 of Arduino Software (IDE) were the reference versions of Arduino, now evolved to newer releases. This is a good board to learn the basics.
