Introduction to basic Arduino

1. Introduction to the arduino micro-controller

2. Arduino UNO Micro-Controller THE MICRO-CONTROLLER A micro-controller is really is an integrated computer on a chip. Like a computer, it has an internal CPU, RAM, Input/Output connections, and a user interface. It is used for controlling hardware and for making complicated decisions. Common micro-controller manufacturers: Intel Atmel MicroChip Parallax Rockwell

3. Arduino UNO Micro-Controller WHAT IS ARDUINO? Open Source Hardware, you can make your own board, or buy one. Cheap, easily available. Open Source Software. Very widespread, many projects openly available. Extra HW (shields) available http://arduino.cc/
