  The Arduino Family Arduino makes several different boards, each with different capabilities. In addition, part of being open source hardware means that others can modify and produce derivatives of Arduino boards that provide even more form factors and functionality. If you’re not sure which one is right for your project,  check this guide  for some helpful hints. Here are a few options that are well-suited to someone new to the world of Arduino: Arduino Uno (R3) The Uno is a great choice for your first Arduino. It's got everything you need to get started, and nothing you don't. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, a reset button and more. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

  Introduction Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board. The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for good reason. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto the board -- you can simply use a USB cable. Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program. Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the micro-controller into a more accessible package . What Does it Do? The Arduino hardware and software was designed for arti...

  Microcontrollers are embedded inside devices to control the actions and features of a product. Hence, they can also be referred to as  embedded controllers . They run one specific program and are dedicated to a single task. They are low power devices with dedicated input devices and small LED or LCD display outputs. Microcontrollers can take inputs from the device they controlling and retain control by sending the device signals to different parts of the device. A good example is a TV’s microcontroller. It takes input from a remote control and delivers its output on the TV screen. Like traditional computers, microcontrollers rely on different features to get their job done. These features include: RAM RAM is used to store data as well as other results that are created when the microcontroller is at work. However, it does not store the data permanently and its memory is lost once the power supply to the microcontroller is cut. The RAM hosts a special functions register (SFR)....

  VPN stands for  "Virtual Private Network"  and describes the opportunity to establish a protected network connection when using public networks. VPNs encrypt your internet traffic and disguise your online identity. This makes it more difficult for third parties to track your activities online and steal data. The encryption takes place in  real time . How does a VPN work? A VPN hides your IP address by letting the network redirect it through a specially configured remote server run by a VPN host. This means that if you surf online with a VPN, the VPN server becomes the source of your data. This means your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other third parties cannot see which websites you visit or what data you send and receive online. A VPN works like a filter that turns all your data into "gibberish". Even if someone were to get their hands on your data, it would be useless. What are the benefits of a VPN connection? A VPN connection disguises your data traffic ...
