SainSmart UNO R3 - User Manual

SainSmart UNO R3 Starter Kit For Arduino
Arduino Introduction
Overview
What is Arduino?
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical world
than your desktop computer. It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple
microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing software for the board.
Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or
sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects
can be stand-alone, or they can be communicated with software running on your computer (e.g.
Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled;
the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.
The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing
platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.
Feature
 Schematic design of the open source development interface free download, and also
according to the needs of their own changes
 Download the program is simple and convenient.
 Simply with the sensor, a wide range of electronic components connection (such as: LED
light, buzzer, keypad, photoresistor, etc.), make all sorts of interesting things.
 Using the high-speed micro-processing controller (ATMEGA328).
 The development of language and development environment is very simple, easy to
understand, very suitable for beginners to learn.
Performance
 Digital I/O 0~13.
 Analog I/O 0~5.( R3 is 0~7 )
 Suppor
 Input voltage: when connected to the USB without external power supply or external 5 v
output and external power input.
 Atmel Atmega328 micro-processing controller. Because of its many supporters, the
company has developed 32-
Arduino size: width of 70 mm X high 54 mm.
Special Port
1. VIN. The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using an external power source (as
