If among your concerns is to discover what programming with
Arduino is and what it is used for, you have just arrived at the
right place to put an end to all your doubts. And is that the
Arduino is nothing more and nothing less than a plate based on
a microcontroller, specifically an ATMEL.
But what is a microcontroller? It is a free hardware
platform. It has an integrated circuit through which
instructions can be recorded. In turn, these instructions are
written using a programming language that allows the user to
establish programs that interact with electronic circuits. The
Arduino is a board that has all the necessary elements to
connect peripherals to the inputs and outputs of a
microcontroller. That is, it is a printed board with the
necessary components for the microcontroller to work and its
communication with a computer through serial
communication.

How does the Arduino work?
The functions of Arduino, as it happens with the majority of
the plates of microcontrollers, can be summarized in 3
factors:
It has an input interface. This can be directly linked to the
peripherals, or connect to them through ports.
The purpose of the input interface is to transfer the
information to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is
the piece that is responsible for processing this data. In
addition, it varies depending on the needs of the project in
which you want to use the board, and there is a wide variety of
manufacturers and versions available.
It also has an exit interface. This is responsible for taking the
processed information to the authorized peripherals to make
the final use of that data. In some cases, it may be another
plate on which the information is centralized and processed in
a totally renewed way, or simply, it may be a screen or a
speaker in charge of showing the final version of the data.
Programming language with Arduino: C ++
What language does this type of programming use? The
Arduino platform is programmed with its own language based
on the high-level programming language Processing, which
means that it is similar to C ++.
What does this mean? That it is a general-purpose
programming language associated with an operating system
called UNIX. This half-level language deals with basic objects
such as characters, numbers, bits and memory addresses,
among others. This type of language has great
portability. Thanks to this it is usually used for the
programming of systems such as the construction of
interpreters, compilers, and text editors.
