Arduino Manuals & User Guides

Arduino is the world’s leading open-source hardware and software ecosystem. The company offers a range of software tools, hardware platforms, and documentation enabling almost anybody to be creative with technology. Originally started as a research project in the early 2000s, it builds upon the Processing project and has evolved into a standard for prototyping, education, and industrial control.

The Arduino Product line includes entry-level boards like the UNO and Nano, enhanced IoT modules, and the professional-grade Portenta series for industrial automation. With a vast community and the easy-to-use Arduino IDE, users can build projects ranging from simple sensors to complex connected devices.

• What is the Arduino IDE used for?

  The Arduino Software (IDE) is a programming environment used to write and upload code to Arduino boards. It is designed to be easy for beginners while flexible enough for advanced users.

• How do I power the Arduino Portenta C33?

  The Portenta C33 can be powered via its USB-C port, a single-cell lithium-ion/lithium-polymer battery, or an external power supply connected through the MKR-styled connectors.

• Where can I find troubleshooting help for my Arduino?

  You can troubleshoot issues by checking connections and verifying code uploads. For specific errors, the Arduino Help Center and the official Arduino Forum are excellent resources for assistance.

• Does the Arduino PLC Starter Kit require specific software?

  Yes, the Opta family in the PLC Starter Kit uses the Arduino PLC IDE, which supports standard IEC-61131-3 PLC languages as well as Arduino sketches.

• What is the warranty period for Arduino products?

  Arduino typically offers a limited product warranty. For many regions, this covers defects in materials and workmanship for one year from the date of purchase, but you should check the specific warranty terms for your region on the official websuíomh.
