What accessories can be used with Arduino?
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…

What will be useful to learn how to use Arduino?
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 –…
-
What types of Arduino are available and how do they differ?
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…

How much is Arduino?
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…
-
Is Arduino suitable for beginners?
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…
-
What is Arduino made of?
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…
-
What is Arduino?
In general, Arduino is a small PCB (the size of a credit card) with a large number of components soldered on it. It is basically a ready-to-use development kit and an excellent learning base for beginners who are getting into electronics. However, it is also an excellent tool for professionals. The device has its own…
-
What specializations can a mechanical engineer pursue?
Some specializations that a mechanical engineer can pursue are:
-
Do mechanical engineers need to know programming?
Programming knowledge is not mandatory for a mechanical engineer although roles that involve complex numerical analysis require knowledge in MATLAB.
-
Do mechanical engineers work in an office?
Yes, mechanical engineers work in an office with very little travel. They occasionally travel to meet customers or to do fieldwork.
