Arduino Starter Kit English (Original Kit From Arduino Italy)

Arduino Starter Kit English helps to built a creative projects, in order to learn the basic of electronic, to a major one, using components that let to control the physical world throw different kind of sensor. Once we have mastered this knowledges, we will have a palette of software and circuits that we can use to create something beautiful and make someone smile with what we invent, that is the reason why we will find more components than the required from the projects of the book.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega16U2 (Atmega8U2 up to version R2) programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.

Revision 3 of the board has the following new features:

1.0 pinout: added SDA and SCL pins that are near to the AREF pin and two other new pins placed near to the RESET pin, the IOREF that allow the shields to adapt to the voltage provided from the board. In future, shields will be compatible with both the board that uses the AVR, which operates with 5V and with the Arduino Due that operates with 3.3V. The second one is a not connected pin, that is reserved for future purposes.

• Stronger RESET circuit.
• Atmega 16U2 replace the 8U2.
