What Is Arduino Uno

Arduino 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 ceramic resonator, 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.

The UNO board is the flagship product of Arduino. Regardless if you are new to the world of electronics or will use
the UNO as a tool for education purposes or industry-related tasks, the UNO is likely to meet your needs.
First entry to electronics: If this is your first project within coding and electronics, get started with our most used
and documented board; Arduino UNO. It is equipped with the well-known ATmega328P processor, 14 digital
input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, USB connections, ICSP header and reset button. This board includes everything
you will need for a great first experience with Arduino.
Industry-standard development board: Using the Arduino UNO R3 board in industries, there are a range of
companies using the UNO board as the brain for their PLC’s.
Education purposes: Although the UNO R3 board has been with us for about ten years, it is still widely used for
various education purposes and scientific projects. The board’s high standard and top quality performance makes it
a great resource to capture real time from sensors and to trigger complex laboratory equipment to mention a few
examples.
