    Pinout

    Now let’s take a close look at the Arduino micro-controller and try to locate I/O ports (input/output) and onboard LEDs.

    I/ O pins, digital pins 0-13, analog pins 0-5.

    2 power sources. One is the USB port that can draw power from the USB connection. Another is a power jack that inputs DC power of 6-12 volts.

    4 LEDs and reset button. L is the onboard LED that connects with digital pin 13. TX and RX are indicators of transmission signal and received signal. When we download a sketch to the Arduino, these two lights blink, indicating that data is being transmitted and received.

    • FAQ

    • I have to say that I am loving the kit. I just wanted to let you know of an issue that I have encountered. In projects 11 and 12 of the kit, it requires the use of the 3 potentiometers. The problem is that the terminals of the potentiometers do not fit across into the sockets on the Prototyping Shield nor the provided breadboard. They are to wide.
      Hello, your feedback is very precious to us. Just as you said, the potentiometer couldn't be inserted to the hole easily, but with some strength to push it downward, it could be done. I've attached a picture about it. Btw, we will consider to upgrade it.
