week 7

Assalamualaikum .. and hai everyone here ..

Now we are in week 7 .

welcome stress week ..week 7 are full with the test and assignment but i still remember to update my fyp blog .

You all have eaten ??

eat me,,eat mee...😋 

just kidding

As i mention before , i already done survey about the hardware for this project ..
in this week , i want to explain about the first hardware in this project which is ??

Arduino Uno R3..

The Arduino Uno R3 is a microcontroller board based on a removable, dual-inline-package (DIP) ATmega328 AVR microcontroller. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used as analog inputs). Programs can be loaded on to it from the easy-to-use Arduino computer program. The Arduino has an extensive support community, which makes it a very easy way to get started working with embedded electronics. The R3 is the third, and latest, revision of the Arduino Uno.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs and 6 can be used as analog inputs), a 16 MHz resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an in-circuit system programming (ICSP) header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable .

The Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features an ATmega16U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. This auxiliary microcontroller has its own USB bootloader, which allows advanced users to reprogram it.

Then ..

The Arduino has  an extensive set of support libraries and hardware add-on “shields” making it a great introductory platform for embedded electronics.

This is the 3rd revision of the Uno (R3), which has a number of changes:

1.        The USB controller chip changed from ATmega8U2 (8K flash) to ATmega16U2 (16K flash). This does not increase the flash or RAM available to sketches.

·     2.    Three new pins were added, all of which are duplicates of previous pins. The I2C pins (A4, A5) have been also been brought out on the side of the board near AREF. There is a IOREF pin next to the reset pin, which is a duplicate of the 5V pin.

·       3.  The reset button is now next to the USB connector, making it more accessible when a shield is used.

From my survey , i decided to use this type of  arduino in my project because it fullfil my perspect i need in my project and the price is  around RM 150.

Furthermore ,this type of arduino are suggested from my SV because its easy to use and easy to program,

thats all for this week ....
