SainSmart UNO R3 Starter Kit
//SainSmart UNO R3
The SainSmart UNO R3 is one of several development boards based on the ATmega328-AU. We
like it mainly because of its extensive support network and its versatility. It has 14 digital
input/output pins (6 of which can be PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator,
a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. Don't worry, you'll learn
about all these later
Access the Internet
In order to get your Arduino up and running, you'll need to download some software first from
www.arduino.cc (it's free!). This software, known as the Arduino IDE, will allow you to program
the Arduino to do exactly what you want. It's like a word processor for writing programs. With an
internet-capable computer, open up your favorite browser and type in the following URL into the
address bar:
