User Manual For IDUINO development Board
1.Overview 1.1 what is Arduino? Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE), based on Processing. The official website is www.arduino.cc and www.arduino.org. 1.2 what is IDUINO? Because of the arduino technology is totally opensource, so anyone can use this facility to create more valuable products. IDUINO is a series of Ardunio opensource products collection, which includes not only motherboard, but hundreds of sensors and modules used for Arduino board, and many kinds of Arduino Starter Kit, many kinds of Arduino projects, many kinds of car chassis, expansion board, accessories, Arduino DIY 3D Printer. IDUINO are more focused on manufacturing and constructing Arduino project system. 1.3 What s the difference between Arduino and IDUINO? For the development, IDUINO is just a different brand comparing with the Arduino development. For other categories, IDUINO s quantity exceeds Arduino a lot.
2. IDUINO uno The IDUINO uno is 100 percent compatible with Arduino uno(re3). It is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, 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 to get started. You can tinker with your UNO without worrying too much about doing something wrong, worst case scenario you can replace the chip for a few dollars and start over again. Pinout:

4. IDUINO Nano IDUINO for maker s life The IDUINO Nano is a small, complete, and breadboard-friendly board based on the ATmega328 or ATmega168.It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino Duemilanove, but in a different package. It lacks only a DC power jack, and works with a Mini-B USB cable instead of a standard one. The Nano was designed and is being produced by Gravitech. Specifications: Microcontroller Atmel ATmega168 or ATmega328 Operating Voltage 5 V (logic level) Input Voltage 7-12 V (recommended) Input Voltage (limits) 6-20 V Digital I/O Pins 14 (of which 6 provide PWM output) Analog Input Pins 8 DC Current per I/O Pin 40 ma Flash Memory 16 KB (ATmega168) or 32 KB (ATmega328) of which 2 KB used by bootloader SRAM 1 KB (ATmega168) or 2 KB (ATmega328)
EEPROM 512 bytes (ATmega168) or 1 KB (ATmega328) Clock Speed 16 MHz Dimensions 0.73" x 1.70" Length 45 mm Width 18 mm Weigth 5 g 5. IDUINO Leonardo The IDUINO Leonardo is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega32u4. It has 20 digital input/output pins (of which 7 can be used as PWM outputs and 12 as analog inputs), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a micro 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 to get started.

How to use these board? Here we use a example to indicate how to use these board. In this trail, we blink a led via the IDUINO uno board s 13 digital pin. The connection as below:
First, download the Arduino latest edition Integrated development environment(ide) from this page: https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/software, then install the software, and connect the IDUINO development board with the computer via USB cable, like below:
launch the Arduino application, and open File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink.
You'll need to select the entry in the Tools > Board menu that corresponds to your Arduino.
Select the serial device of the Arduino board from the Tools > Serial Port menu. On the Mac, this should be something with /dev/tty.usbmodem (for the Uno or Mega 2560) or /dev/tty.usbserial (for older boards) in it.
Now, simply click the "Upload" button in the environment. Wait a few seconds - you should see the RX and TX LEDs on the board flashing. If the upload is successful, the message "Done uploading." will appear in the status bar. (Note: If you have an Arduino Mini, NG, or other board, you'll need to physically press the reset button on the board immediately before clicking the upload button on the Arduino Software.) A few seconds after the upload finishes, you should see the pin 13 (L) LED on the board start to blink (in orange). If it does, congratulations! You've gotten Arduino upand-running.
