If you want to know some more details of the board and major chips and I/O (Input/Output) pins on the board, following magnified picture would help you. But if you load a developed program onto the board and just keep running it without PC, you need power adaptor. So you need to have USB-A to USB-B convert cable.ĭo I need any power adator as well ? If you are using Arduino connected to PC all the time (as in most training or study), you don't need any additional power adaptor. As I mentioned in Before You Buy page, the type of USB is USB-A. To invest a little more in order to operate this board. If you buy (or order) Arduino board only, it would come with the board only without any USB or power adaptor or anything else. If it is US/Canada, you would see 'Arduino' and if you are in other country, you would see the label 'Genuino'. Depending on where you bought it you may see different labels on the board. Download and Install Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment)įollowing shows how the board (Arduino Uno) looks like.If you haven't purchased any board yet or you just bought it but no previous experience with Arduino, this page would help you get familiarized with the board and software environement. I will describe some details (or quick tips) for the board that I first used.
