Abstract
This lab demonstrates the ability to assemble a digital system according to instructions. Chapter 1
Arduino Microcontroller
1.1
Introduction
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 (datasheet).
It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs),
6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, 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 a AC-to-DC adapter or battery..
1.2
Aim
The aim of this lab was to install and get familiar with the operation of
Arduino microcontroller.

Chapter 2
Assembling of the Arduino microcontroller 2.1
Introduction
The arduino starter kit includes a pre-cut easy to assemble wooden base. It is build by following instructions that come with the kit.
2.2
Proceedures
• Took out a wooden sheet and carefully separated the pieces.
• Went on until all the parts were separated
• Placed the pieces marked with an A into the holes in the corners in order to create the feet of the base.
• Secured the arduino Uno on the wooden sheet using screws
• Carefully peeled the backing
