Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller board interfaced with a Grove LED bar. The Arduino UNO is responsible for controlling the LED bar, which likely displays some form of visual output based on the program uploaded to the Arduino. The circuit is powered through the Arduino UNO's 5V and GND pins, and the LED bar is controlled via two digital pins on the Arduino.

Component List

Arduino UNO

  • Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
  • Pins: UNUSED, IOREF, Reset, 3.3V, 5V, GND, Vin, A0-A5, SCL, SDA, AREF, D0-D13.
