This means that Arduino devices are not protected by patent law – they can be copied and distributed (even commercially), and their schematics are provided free of charge by their creators. Arduino clones include i.e. Freeduino boards and shields that are compatible with the original devices. You should keep in mind that – even if the devices can be…

Yes, most Arduino boards support UART and USB interfaces, so you can connect them to a computer and then use it to configure or program your board. Your computer can also become the central module of a larger system combining several Arduino boards and other electronic components, for example in a home automation system. In this example, Arduino boards…

The Arduino programming language is based on the Wiring environment and is therefore similar to C and C++. Once you have connected the card to the computer and configured it correctly, you can also use other programming languages such as Java, C #, ActionScript, Perl or VBScript, so that you can choose the environment that you find most…

Arduino Shields are expansion modules intended for use with the Arduino board. Since the name “Arduino Shield” is reserved, it can only be used in relation to the original accessories released by the authors of Arduino. Among the shields you will find e.g. controllers for motors and servos, keyboards, displays, sensors, loudspeakers, microphones, measuring devices, communication interfaces,…

Arduino boards have analog and digital pins to which you can connect many other electronic components and devices, including displays, motors and sensors. Arduino Shields also allows you to extend the functionality of the board by adding options such as a Wi-Fi or Ethernet interface. There are also pin expanders to increase the number of outputs. The…

First of all, the necessary accessories include the appropriate power supply (an AC adapter or a USB A-B cable to connect the board to your computer). The breadboard, connection cables and electronic components in THT technology will also prove useful (at the beginning, resistors with different values and diodes are mainly worth buying). Arduino is often sold in kits with accessories –…

There are currently over thirty versions of the Arduino board available on the market. They differ in the central systems used, the number and position of the pins, supported interfaces or additionally installed modules (e.g. Ethernet or Bluetooth). The most popular versions of Arduino used for electronic projects include Arduino Uno R33, Arduino Leonardo and Arduino Zero. Before you buy…

The price of the board depends on its model, the distributor and the contents of the set. On average, the cost of the original main module ranges from a few dozen zloty (e.g. Arduino Uno) to a few hundred zloty (e.g. advanced Arduino MKR models). It should be remembered that a suspiciously low price may indicate that you…

Yes, Arduino is one of the most recommended devices for beginners due to several aspects. First of all, they will appreciate the easy programming, the large number of available knowledge sources, the high compatibility with different devices and interfaces, and the wide range of available add-ons and extensions. The attractive price is another big and undoubted…

Physically, Arduino is a PCB with a large number of tracks and soldered components on it. The board is available in many versions, but they all have some common features. They usually differ in the size and type of components used (for example, a slower microprocessor or no Bluetooth interface). The key element of the…
