It is about an Arduino electronic block assembly for coding education that allows you to easily and safely combine Arduino learning boards without the problem of misunderstanding and confusing them.

In general, boards mainly used for education include Arduino, microbit, STM32 controller board, and other microcontrollers. there is.

Here, when we describe Arduino, which is typically used among boards, it refers to an easy-to-use open source-based microcontroller (MCU; Micro Controller Unit). Provides a USB-based connection interface.

The microcontroller is simply equipped with a processor and memory, and is a small computer made into a single chip to receive electrical signals, perform operations in the CPU core and memory, and perform a series of processes of outputting the results as electrical signals. can be explained as

In addition, since Arduino-related program sources, circuit diagrams, and hardware control technologies are publicly available through the Internet, Arduino has a feature that makes it easy to build applications without having specialized knowledge about hardware or software. Since many projects that can be performed with the program are open source, you can use, modify, duplicate, and distribute the program source without infringing copyright, and you can use a program called sketch (source code that controls Arduino functions) could be implemented more easily.

In addition, the Arduino hardware shares the hardware blueprint so that others can use it, and it is possible to make a platform product (typically Uno, Leonardo, Mega, etc.) using this blueprint and sell it to others, and Arduino compatible boards are also available on the market. exist in many

In particular, Arduino has the greatest advantage in that it can easily operate a microcontroller that accepts input from many switches or sensors, controls a motor, or controls an electric device such as lighting an LED.

And, the Arduino can additionally use the desired function by using the Arduino shield on the platform, and the shield serves to extend the function to a board that can be selectively plugged into the upper part of the platform circuit board. It also has the advantage that it is possible to use the Ethernet module shield if you want to put the Internet access function into the device, and the Wi-Fi module shield if you want to put the wireless Internet access function.

In order to control various devices using such an Arduino, a lot of education and practice is required in advance.
