ROBOTICS

• Microcontroller (MCU)


  A small computer (SoC) on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals
• Microcontroller


  Serves as the brain of our robot, sends the information programmed so different robotic parts can function
• Power IN (Barrel Jack)


  • Can be used with either a 9V or 12V supply
• Power IN (USB Port)


  • Provides power and communicates with the board when plugged into a computer via USB
• LED (RX: Receiving)


  • Blinks when receiving data
• LED (TX: Transmitting)


  • Blinks when transmitting data
• LED (Troubleshooting)


  • Blinks when the program is running properly
• Pins (Digital, Analog, Ground)


  • Can be used for input, output, power, and ground
• LED (ON/OFF)


  • Indicates if there is power
• Reset Button


  • Manually resets the Arduino that makes your code restart
• Pins (Analog in, Power In, Ground Power Out, Reset)


  • Can be used for input, output, power, and ground
