About Arduino board

[bhaazee]

I want to control AC devices using Arduino board. Would like to know how many devices can be controlled simultaneously using a single

• Arduino Uno (or)
• Arduino Mega 2650

 

Since I am not a electronics guy, I am not able to understand the digital and analog pins info and hence would like to know the answer for my above query

Hi. As you are not an electronics guy, you must learn the basics in electronics and the way each component works and what it does and how it is used before jumping to microcontrollers as the Arduinos.

 

Arduinos do nothing at all by themselves unless you tell them what, how, when... and that is dome with programming; something else you must learn before jumping to use Arduinos.

 

I suggest you start with books, hands-on electronics tutorials abundant on the net and experimenter kits.

 

Here is an example for what you will get into: ----> www.ardx.org/src/guide/2/ARDX-EG-SOLA-WEB.pdf

If that is too much, better start from zero with books.

 

Later, jump to ----> http://www.williamson-labs.com/

 

And you will see a veeeery long road in front of you for the field of electronics.

 

The Arduino Uno can control up to 14 devices.
