The Placa_Controladora is designed to provide reliable performance in a variety of applications. Below are its key technical details:

The Placa_Controladora is straightforward to use in a variety of circuits. Follow the steps below to integrate it into your project:

• Connect an external power source to the VIN pin (7V-12V DC) or use the USB port if available.
• Ensure the power supply is stable and within the specified voltage range to avoid damage.

• Use the Digital I/O Pins to connect actuators like motors, LEDs, or relays.
• Connect sensors to the Analog Input Pins for reading environmental data.
• For communication with other devices, use the UART (TX/RX), I2C (SCL/SDA), or SPI pins.

• The Placa_Controladora is compatible with the Arduino IDE. Install the necessary drivers and select the correct board type (e.g., Arduino Uno if using ATmega328P).
• Write your program in the Arduino IDE and upload it to the board via USB.

Below is an example of how to blink an LED connected to a digital pin:

// Define the pin number where the LED is connected
const int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
  // Set the LED pin as an output
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  // Turn the LED on
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second

  // Turn the LED off
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second
}

• Always double-check connections to avoid short circuits or incorrect wiring.
• Use appropriate resistors for LEDs and other components to prevent overcurrent.
• Avoid exceeding the maximum current output of the board (1A per pin, 10A total).

1. The board does not power on.

   • Ensure the power supply is within the 7V-12V range.
   • Check the connections to the VIN and GND pins.

2. Components are not responding.

   • Verify that the components are connected to the correct pins.
   • Check the program code for errors or incorrect pin assignments.

3. The board overheats.

   • Ensure the total current draw does not exceed 10A.
   • Use a heat sink or cooling fan if necessary.

4. Unable to upload code.

   • Confirm that the correct board and port are selected in the Arduino IDE.
   • Check the USB cable and connection.

Q: Can I use the Placa_Controladora with 3.3V sensors?
A: Yes, the board provides a 3.3V output pin for low-power devices.

Q: Is the board compatible with shields?
A: Yes, the Placa_Controladora is compatible with most Arduino Uno shields.

Q: What is the maximum PWM frequency?
