Exploring Arduino

By: Jeremy Blum

Overview of this book

Exploring Arduino makes electrical engineering and embedded software accessible. Learn step by step everything you need to know about electrical engineering, programming, and human-computer interaction through a series of increasingly complex projects. Arduino guru Jeremy Blum walks you through each build, providing code snippets and schematics that will remain useful for future projects. Projects are accompanied by downloadable source code, tips and tricks, and video tutorials to help you master Arduino. This edition covers the rapidly expanding Arduino ecosystem. Servo motors and stepper motors are covered in richer detail, and you'll find more excerpts about technical details behind the topics covered in the book. Wireless connectivity and the Internet-of-Things are now more prominently featured in the advanced projects to reflect Arduino's growing capabilities. You'll learn how Arduino compares to its competition, and how to determine which board is right for your project. By the end of this book, you would’ve gained the skills you need to develop your own microcontroller projects!

Understanding the Arduino Schematic

Perhaps one of the best ways to learn about electrical design is to analyze the schematics of existing products, such as the Arduino. Figure A-6 shows the schematic for the Arduino Uno.

Can you match all the parts to the parts that you can see on your Arduino Uno? Start with the main ATmega328P MCU (Part ZU4 in the schematic) and all the breakout pins. Here, you can easily identify which ATmega ports or pins map to the pins that are available to you in the integrated development environment (IDE).

Earlier in this appendix, you observed that PD0 and PD1 were connected to the USART TX and RX pins. In the Arduino schematic, you can indeed confirm that these pins connect to the corresponding pins on the 16U2 (which is employed as the USB-to-serial converter chip on the Uno). You also know that there is an LED connected (through a resistor) to Pin 13 of the Arduino. In the schematic...
