IDUINO for maker’s life
1.Overview
1.1 what is Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware
and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a
button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning
on a LED, publishing something online. You can tell your 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.
The official website is www.arduino.cc and www.arduino.org.
1.2 what is IDUINO ?
Because of the arduino technology is totally opensource, so anyone can use this
facility to create more valuable products.
IDUINO is a series of Ardunio opensource products’ collection, which not only
includes motherboard or shield board , but hundreds of sensors and modules used for
Arduino board, and many kinds of Arduino Starter Kit, many Arduino projects, many
car chassis , expansion boards, accessories , and Arduino based DIY 3D Printer.
IDUINO are more focused on manufacturing and constructing Arduino project
system.
1.3 What’s the difference between Arduino and IDUINO?
For the development board, IDUINO is just a different brand compared with the
Arduino development.
For other categories, IDUINO’s quantity exceeds Arduino a lot.

2.IDUINO Mega 2560
The Mega 2560 is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has 54
digital input/output pins (of which 15 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs,
4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power
jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with an
AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.
