Microprocessor (Mod 3) Flashcards
Power source of Arduino
- USB
- 9V battery
The basic boards are supplemented by ___ that can be plugged on top of the Arduino board.
accessory shield boards
In Arduino input can read both
- Digital
- Analog
How many pins does the microcontroller have on the Arduino board
28-pin
Who is the company who manufactured the microcontroller of the Arduino
Atmel
Specific name of the microcontroller of the Arduino
ATmega328
How many volts does the voltage regulator regulate on the Arduino
5V
What does the reset button do on Arduino
Resets the program from the start
To reset the microcontroller with the Reset connector, you momentarily set this pin to
Low (0V)
Analog inputs can be used to measure
Voltage
Analog inputs by default are labeled as analog but they can also be used as
Digital inputs and outputs
What is the output of the digital connections when they are ON and OFF, respectivelt
- 5V (ON)
- 0V (OFF)
The digital connections on an Arduino can supply how many currents
40 mA
The microcontroller is fitted into a
Dual inline (DIL) socket
When was Arduino developed commercially
2005
Who developed Arduino for commercial use
- Massimo Banzi
- David Cuartielles
Arduino was originally developed as an aid for
teaching students
Another key factor in its success is that all the designs for Arduino are freely
available under a

This plug directly into the top of an Arduino board.
shield boards
is the latest incarnation of
the most popular series of Arduino boards.
Arduino UNO
This Arduino iteration is Italian for 10,000
Diecimila
This Arduino iteration is Italian for 2011
Duemilanove
is the muscle car of Arduino
boards. It boasts a huge collection of input output
ports,
Arduino Mega
Extra features provided by the Mega include the following:
- 54 I/O pins
- 128 kb of flash memory
- 8kb of ram & 4kb EEPROM
is a very useful device for use with a solderless breadboard. If you fit pins to it, it can just plug into the breadboard as if it were a chip.
Arduino Nano
is an interesting device as it includes Bluetooth hardware in place of the USB connector. This allows the device to even be programmed wirelessly.
Arduino Bluetooth
is a tiny, thin Arduino board that can be stitched into clothing for applications that have become known as wearable computing.
Lilypad
Example of Arduino clones
- Gizduino
- Roboduino
- Seeeduino
- Freeduino
