On my Linux system, this is the path /home/norman/arduino- 1.8.5/hardware/arduino/avr. This is $ARDBASE/hardware/arduino/avr and is where the various cores, bootloaders, and so on can be found, beneath this directory. $ARDINST is the location of the main Arduino files for AVR microcontrollers. This is where you will find the file arduino.exe on Windows or arduino on Linux which is the Arduino IDE.

$ARDBASE is the preceding given location where I’ve extracted the zip file – /home/norman/arduino-1.8.5.
#ARDUINO 1.8.5 SETUP ARDUINO UNO SOFTWARE#
The version of the Arduino software used in this book is 1.8.5. Doing this can lead to more space for your code, faster execution, and lower power requirements – some projects can be run for months on a couple of batteries.

Hopefully, by the time you have finished reading this book, you will understand more about what it does and why and, when necessary, how you can bypass the Arduino Language (it’s just C or C++ after all) and use the bare metal AVR-specific C or C++ code instead. The Arduino was designed for ease of use, and to this end, the software and the “Arduino Language” hides an awful lot from the maker and developer. The EEPROM and RAM size is also half that of the ATmega328P devices. Some older Arduino boards had the ATmega168 microcontroller, which also was a 28-pin through-hole version, but it only had 16 Kb of flash memory as opposed to the 32 Kb in the later 328 chips. Occasionally though, I may mention in passing the Mega 2560 R3 – as I have a cheap Chinese clone of one of these – which is based on the Atmel ATmega2560 microcontroller. They are/should be identical to program, although the AU version does have two additional analogue pins that are not present on the ATmega328P-PU. Roughly, the only difference between the two is the UNO’s AU version is a surface mount, while the PU version is a 28-pin through-hole device. On the Uno it’s the Atmel ATmega328P-AU, while the Duemilanove uses the ATmega328P-PU. The Arduino, and I’m concentrating on either the Uno version 3 or the Duemilanove here, as those are two of the ones I’ve actually purchased (or been given), is based on an Atmel ATmega328 microcontroller.

Even better, my old faithful Antex 15W soldering iron still worked, even after 35 years. These days I can get a pack of 100 LEDs for about £2 in various different colors. LEDs used to cost about £10 each and came in one color, red.

Much has changed over the intervening years. I’ve even built a number of Arduino clones based on just the AVR microcontroller and a few passive components – it’s cheaper than fitting a new Arduino into a project! I was reintroduced to a long-lost hobby when I was gifted an Arduino Duemilanove (aka 2009) by my wife’s late grandmother, and since then, I’ve had lots of fun learning and attempting to build things. The Arduino is a great system for getting people into making with electronics and microcontrollers.
