C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits

Aim:
To recognize and understand the components of the Arduino Uno board using a virtual simulation.

Requirements:

  • Computer or tablet

  • Internet connection

  • Free Tinkercad account

Steps:

  1. Go to Tinkercad and log in.

  2. Click on CircuitsCreate New Circuit.

  3. From the right panel, drag the Arduino Uno to your workspace.

  4. Hover your mouse over each part of the board:

    • USB Port

    • Digital Pins

    • Analog Pins

    • Reset Button

    • Power Section

  5. Write down what each part does (as listed in “What You Will Learn”).
