What is Arduino, how it works and what you can do with one.
Arduino
It is one of the types of the most popular motherboards in the world, but unlike the Raspberry Pi it does not have a single model, but rather offers open hardware bases so that other manufacturers can create their own motherboards. Free hardware are devices whose specifications and diagrams are publicly accessible, so anyone can replicate them. This means that Arduino offers the bases so that any other person or company can create their own boards, being able to be different from each other but equally functional when starting from the same base.

The Arduino is a board based on an ATMEL microcontroller. Microcontrollers are integrated circuits in which instructions can be recorded, which you write with the programming language that you can use in the Arduino IDE environment. These instructions allow you to create programs that interact with the circuitry on the board. The Arduino microcontroller has what is called an input interface, which is a connection in which we can connect different types of peripherals on the board. The information of these peripherals that you connect will be transferred to the microcontroller, which will be in charge of processing the data that comes through them. The type of peripherals you can use to send data to the microcontroller depends largely on what use you are planning to give it. They can be cameras to obtain images, keyboards to enter data, or different types of sensors. What can we do with one The great flexibility and free and open character of the Arduino mean that you can use this type of board for practically anything, from clocks to connected scales, to robots, voice-controlled blinds or your own vending machine. In Tekplaza you will find several examples of its use..
