Lession-02 : Introduction to IoT development boards

A development board is basically a printed circuit board with circuitry and hardware on-board to facilitate experimentation with certain microcontrollers. These boards can save you from a lot of repetitive tasks. These development boards can be used in multiple projects, so it is a one-time investment.

Typically, components of a development board include: 1. Power circuit (typically, set up to run from a 9V/12V power supply) 2. Programming interface 3. Basic input circuitry, like buttons 4. Basic output circuitry, like LEDs 5. Input/output (I/O) pins access (to be used for everything else such as motors, sensors and LCD screens).

Now we study about a very useful and easily accessible development board i.e Arduino.

Description of Arduino

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. It 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.
