IoTs technology can also be applied to create a new concept and wide development space for
smart homes to provide intelligence, comfort and to improve the quality of life.
 What is a Microcontroller ?
What is a Microprocessor ?

• A Microcontroller (8 bit) does one task very fast and very well, like a cell phone,
microwave, 2M radio, etc. It's does one program over and over again and never
changes, programed stored in ROM and has all I/O support hardware onboard the
chip. Can be very very low power ie. Thermostat - Nano Watts!
• A microprocessor (32/64 Bit) on the other hand can run multiple programs and
change programs, just like your PC. Does very large complex programs and very
complex math and has external I/O support like video cards, audio, lan, etc. and
storage on large disk. Is a power hog! 500Watts!

• The line is blurring between these two. For example ARM processors (32 Bit) for
example a smart phones. These microcontrollers are so powerful they run
multiple programs very similar to microprocessor but keep the low power
characteristic of a microcontroller
• Fun Fact Motorola Droid can hit 52 Mflop/s, which is more than 15 times faster
than the CPUs used in the 1979 Cray-1.
 WHAT’S EXACTLY ARDUINO?
• The Arduino is a family of microcontroller boards to simplify
electronic design, prototyping and experimenting for artists,
hackers, hobbyists, but also many professionals. One can use it
as brains for your robot, to build a new digital music instrument,
or to make your house plant tweet you when it’s dry. The
Arduino microcontroller is powerful single board computer that
has gained considerable attraction in the hobby and professional
market. The Arduino is open-source, which means hardware is
reasonably priced and development software is free. The
original Arduino hardware is manufactured by the Italian
company Smart Projects. Some Arduino-branded boards have
been designed by the American company SparkFun Electronics.

 ARDUINO BOARD COMES IN DIFFERENT
FLAVORS:-
• ARDUINO TYPES:
• Arduino Uno
The most common version of Arduino is the Arduino Uno. This board is what most people are talking about
when they refer to an Arduino.
• Arduino Mega 2560
The Mega is the second most commonly encountered version of the Arduino family. The Arduino Mega is
like the Arduino Uno's older brother. It boasts 256 KB of memory (8 times more than the Uno). It also has
54 input and output pins, 16 of which are analog pins, and 14 of which can do PWM.
• Arduino Mega ADK
This specialized version of the Arduino is basically an Arduino Mega that has been specifically designed for
interfacing with Android smartphones.
• Arduino LilyPad
The LilyPad was designed for wearable and e-textile applications. It is intended to be sewn to fabric and
connected to other sewable components using conductive thread.
• The Arduino Leonardo:It is with an ATmega32U4 chip that eliminates the need for USB connection and can
be used as a virtual keyboard or mouse. It was released at the Maker Faire Bay Area 2012.
• The Arduino Esplora:It is resembling a video game controller, with a joystick and built-in sensors for sound,
light, temperature, and acceleration.
• The Arduino Due :It is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. It is the
first Arduino board based on a 32-bit ARM core microcontroller.
 Arduino Types
• Many different versions
– Number of input/output channels
– Form factor
– Processor
• Leonardo
• Due
• Micro
• LilyPad
• Esplora
• Uno
 Shields
• Shields are circuit boards that plug into the
top of an Arduino.
• They extend the capabilities of an Arduino.
• Examples:
– Ethernet
– GPS
– Motor
– Prototype
 Other Hardware Choices-Sheilds
Adafruit GPS & Datalogging shield
Connects up a GPS module and can log location,
time/date as well as sensor data to an SD memory
flash card.

Adafruit XPort/Ethernet shield

Allows use of an XPort module for connecting to the
Internet as a client or server.
