Basics of Arduino
Below presented are introductory concepts explaining: What are proto boards and solder less breadboards?
What is a breadboard?
A breadboard is board helps to make quick electrical connections between components- like resistors,
LEDs, capacitors, etc.- It has a matrix of small holes to which components may be attached without solder,
used for the temporary construction and testing of electrical and electronic circuits.
Breadboard
The two outer sections of the breadboard are usually used exclusively for power. On many
breadboards these sockets will be labeled with colors denoting positive voltage (usually red) and
ground (black or blue).

Procedure (Adder Circuit)
1.Connect the circuit as shown above.
2. Apply the supply voltages of +15V to pin7,-15V pin4
and ground to pin 3 of IC741.
3. Apply the inputs V1 and V2 as shown (DC/AC ) to
the inputs.
4. Vary the input voltages and note down the
corresponding output at pin 6.
5. Notice that the output is equal to the sum of the two
inputs Vo = – (V1 + V2).
Procedure (Subtractor)
1. Connect the circuit as shown above.
2. Apply the supply voltages of +15V to pin7, -15V
pin4 and ground to pin 3 of IC741.
3. Apply the inputs V1 and V2. (DC/AC) to the inputs.
4. Vary the input voltages and note down the
corresponding output at pin 6 of the IC 741
5. Notice that the output is equal to the difference of the
two inputs Vo = V2 – V1.
Basics of Arduino Microcontroller
What is Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware
and software. Arduino boards can read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a
button, and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online.
A user can tell the board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the
microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming
language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on
Processing.
Why Arduino?
Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications. The Arduino
software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users. It runs on
Mac, Windows, and Linux.
Teachers and students use it to build low-cost scientific instruments, to prove chemistry
and physics principles, or to get started with programming and robotics.
Some of the advantages of Arduino Microcontroller includes:
Materials
1. Arduino Uno Board
2. LED
3. Resistor 220 Ω
4. Jumper Wires
This program is used to blink multiple LEDs one by one. Three LEDs are mounted on breadboard
along with resistors. The Anode of each led is given to Arduino pin through resistor of 220 Ohm and
the Cathode of each LED is connected to Ground.
Pin Connections to Arduino:
Connect Anode (+) terminal of all eight LEDs to pins varying from 1 to 8 through 1K resistor
Connect cathode (-) of all LED to Ground(0V)
