1. Arduino Uno microcontroller

Theory: It is a microcontroller board developed by Arduino.cc. It is an open-source platform,

means the boards and software are readily available and anyone can modify and optimize the
boards for better functionality.

The software used for Arduino devices is called IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
which is free to use and required some basic skills to learn it. It can be programmed using C
and C++ language.

The current version of Arduino Uno comes with USB interface, 6 analog input pins, 14 I/O
digital ports that are used to connect with external electronic circuits. Out of 14 I/O ports, 6
pins can be used for PWM output. This board comes with all the features required to run the
controller and can be directly connected to the computer through USB cable that is used to
transfer the code to the controller using IDE (Integrated Development Environment)
software, mainly developed to program Arduino. Only 5 V is required to turn the board on,
which can be achieved directly using USB port or external adapter. However, it can support
external power source up to 12 V which can be regulated and limit to 5 V or 3.3 V based on
the requirement of the project.
