Arduino Uno R3 (GenuinoBrand)

Arduino/Genuino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Arduino/Genuino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino/Genuino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino/Genuino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino/Genuino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, Max/MSP).

Powering

The Arduino/Genuino Uno can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically by Arduino/Genuino.

External (non-USB) power can come either from an AC-to-DC adapter (wall-wart) or battery. The adapter can be connected by plugging a 2.1mm center-positive plug into the board’s power jack. Leads from a battery can be inserted in the Gnd and Vin pin headers of the POWER connector. The board can operate on an external supply of 6 to 20 volts. If supplied with less than 7V, however, the 5V pin may supply less than five volts and the board may be unstable. If using more than 12V, the voltage regulator may overheat and damage the board, hence the recommended range is 7 to 12 volts.
