Hardware Overview
What are all the components on that aesthetically pleasing blue circuit board? What does GND stand for, and what is with the “~” mark next to those plastic lifted holes mean?
This tutorial covers the hardware on the board that you will likely use as you work on projects. It is by no means a comprehensive study of the physical layout, but enough to make you familiar with the parts you will be using.
On an aside – isn’t the packaging great too? Clean, compact and appealing – overall fun to open.
There may be some probing questions on the quiz not covered in the lesson, have an Arduino UNO in your hand while you take the quiz to determine the correct answers. (It’s not cheating – I promise!)
