ATMega328P Processor
The UNO board is the flagship product of Arduino. Regardless if you are new to the world of electronics or will use the UNO R3 as a tool for education purposes or industry-related tasks, the UNO R3 is likely to meet your needs.
First entry to electronics: If this is your first project within coding and electronics, get started with our most used and documented board; UNO. It is equipped with the well-known ATmega328P processor, 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, USB connections, ICSP header and reset button. This board includes everything you will need for a great first experience with Arduino.
Industry-standard development board: Using the UNO R3 board in industries, there are a range of companies using the UNO R3 board as the brain for their PLC's.
Education purposes: Although the UNO R3 board has been with us for about ten years, it is still widely used for various education purposes and scientific projects. The board's high standard and top quality performance makes it a great resource to capture real time from sensors and to trigger complex laboratory equipment to mention a few examples.

The Main Processor is a ATmega328P running at up to 20 MHz. Most of its pins are connected to the external headers, however some are reserved for internal communication with the USB Bridge coprocessor.
Power tree
If you want to program your UNO R3 while offline you need to install the Arduino Desktop IDE [1] To connect the UNO R3 to your computer, you'll need a USB-B cable. This also provides power to the board, as indicated by the LED.
All Arduino boards, including this one, work out-of-the-box on the Arduino Cloud Editor [2], by just installing a simple plugin.
The Arduino Cloud Editor is hosted online, therefore it will always be up-to-date with the latest features and support for all boards. Follow [3] to start coding on the browser and upload your sketches onto your board.
Sample sketches for the UNO R3 can be found either in the "Examples" menu in the Arduino IDE or in the "Documentation" section of the Arduino website [4].
Now that you have gone through the basics of what you can do with the board you can explore the endless possibilities it provides by checking exciting projects on Arduino Project Hub [5], the Arduino Library Reference [6] and the online Arduino store [7] where you will be able to complement your board with sensors, actuators and more.
