Arduino Questions

1-what is arduino?
"Arduino is an open-source physical computing
platform based on a simple i/o board and a
development environment program.
It can be used to develop stand-alone
interactive objects or can be connected to
software on your computer.
2-Arduino types of boards?
1-Arduino mini.
2-Arduino UNO.
3-Arduino MEGA.
4-Arduino LILYBAD.
5-Arduino Duemilanove.
6-Arduino LENARDO.
7-Arduino NANO.
3-prgramming language?
"Its based on C programming Arduino C.
like micro C for microcontroller PIC".

5-Steps of programming??
1- First, you need to download Arduino IDE
program. from arduino homepage
http://www.arduino.cc
2-Second , write your code using Arduino C
language.
3-Verify the code to get errors .
4- Upload to arduino board .
5- Run your program .
6- Ultrasonic PINS?

3 PINS ( GND 5V SIGNAL (Echo))

"the pin signal acts as input and output at the same
"time"

4 pins(5V trigger(for switching the sensor on)echo-GND)

for 4 pin ultrasonic (there is apin for triggering
and other pin for echo)
7-define pin 13 as (input && output)
pinMode(13,OUTPUT); // As output
pinMode(13,INPUT); // As input
