It is equipped with a variety of input/output options, making it an ideal platform for students, hobbyists, and educators. The board is compatible with a wide range of sensors and modules, enabling users to build and experiment with diverse projects.

• Teaching programming and electronics in classrooms
• Prototyping IoT (Internet of Things) projects
• Robotics and automation projects
• Interactive art installations
• Sensor-based data collection and analysis

The Edspert Board is built to provide flexibility and ease of use. Below are its key technical details:

The Edspert Board is easy to use and can be programmed using the Arduino IDE. Follow these steps to get started:

1. Download and install the Arduino IDE from arduino.cc.
2. Connect the Edspert Board to your computer using a USB cable.
3. In the Arduino IDE, go to Tools > Board and select Arduino Uno (the Edspert Board is compatible with this setting).
4. Select the correct COM Port under Tools > Port.

1. Open the Arduino IDE and write your code or use the example below.
2. Click the Upload button to upload the code to the Edspert Board.

// This example code blinks an LED connected to pin 13 of the Edspert Board.
// The LED will turn on for 1 second and off for 1 second in a loop.

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as an output pin
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn the LED on
  delay(1000);            // Wait for 1 second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);  // Turn the LED off
  delay(1000);            // Wait for 1 second
}

• Always check the voltage and current ratings of connected components to avoid damage.
• Use appropriate resistors when connecting LEDs or other components to prevent overcurrent.
• Avoid short circuits by double-checking your wiring before powering the board.
• For external power, ensure the input voltage is within the recommended range (7-12V).

1. The board is not detected by the computer.

   • Ensure the USB cable is properly connected and functional.
   • Check if the correct COM port is selected in the Arduino IDE.
   • Install or update the necessary USB drivers.

2. Code upload fails with an error message.

   • Verify that the correct board (Arduino Uno) is selected in the Arduino IDE.
   • Ensure no other application is using the COM port.
   • Press the reset button on the board and try uploading again.

3. The connected components are not working as expected.

   • Double-check the wiring and connections.
   • Ensure the components are compatible with the Edspert Board.
   • Use a multimeter to verify power supply and signal levels.
