Arduino in Embedded Systems
Introduction, Features, and
Applications
Introduction to Arduino
• • Open-source electronics platform
• • Easy-to-use hardware and software
• • Ideal for beginners, students, and hobbyists
Arduino Uno Overview
• • Microcontroller: ATmega328P
• • 14 Digital I/O pins, 6 Analog inputs
• • USB interface for programming
• • Operating Voltage: 5V
Arduino Uno Pin Diagram
• • Pins labeled: D0–D13 (Digital), A0–A5
(Analog)
• • Power pins: 3.3V, 5V, GND, Vin
• • Reset, TX/RX, and ICSP header
Arduino Programming
• • Programmed using Arduino IDE
• • Written in simplified C/C++
• • Sketch = setup() + loop()
• • Easy to upload code via USB
Example Code: Blink LED
• void setup() {
• pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
• }
• void loop() {
• digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
• delay(1000);
• digitalWrite(13, LOW);
• delay(1000);
Common Arduino Applications
• • Home Automation
• • Sensor Monitoring (Temp, Gas, Light)
• • Robotics and Motor Control
• • IoT Projects and Prototyping
Arduino vs 8051 Microcontroller
• • Arduino: Open-source, easy-to-use
• • 8051: Traditional, low-level control
• • Arduino is better for rapid prototyping
• • 8051 used in industrial control
Conclusion
• • Arduino simplifies embedded development
• • Great for education, experimentation, and
prototyping
• • Extensive community and library support
