ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO 1. INTRODUCTION We bring you the Maker UNO, an Arduino UNO compa ble board designed and developed specially for students to learn coding and microcontroller. We named it Maker UNO to encourage everyone to be a maker by ge ng started with this amazing board. By the way, it is in PURPLE! 3 years ago, we re-engineered Arduino UNO and introduce CT-UNO. It has been used in many projects development, among students, engineers, teachers, and makers.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO Not to forget the change of FTDI chip to CH340 IC, the low cost yet stable USB to UART IC. Maker-UNO combines the simplicity of the UNO Op boot bootloader (which load program faster), the stability of the CH340 and the R3 shield compa bility of the latest Arduino UNO R3. Of course, we preserve the good feature of CT-UNO, the USB Micro B socket for program loading and to power the board.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO J K L M MAIN MICROCONTROLLER (ATMEGA328P) Main controller for Maker Uno is ATmega328P, same as Arduino Uno R3. SERIES OF MOSFET These series of MOSFET is a ‘secret’ why you can control LED or make it as indicator for input, even for pull-up input. SERIES OF LED FOR DIGITAL I/O Every digital IO is equipped with LED, where you can control it or make it as indicator for input.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO 5. HARDWARE INSTALLATION 5.1 Maker Uno Power Supply Main power for Maker-UNO is through USB connec on. If you would like to make your Maker-UNO portable, you can use power bank or Cytron LiPo Power Shield. NOTE It is advisable to have 1 power source only at 1 time.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO 5.2 Using Arduino Uno Shield Since Maker-UNO doesn’t have Vin, any Arduino shield that require Vin is not compa ble. However, if the shield have op on to choose power source (either Vin or external voltage), it can be used with Maker Uno (by using external voltage). For example: ● Cytron 3A Motor Driver Shield ● Cytron G15 Shield ● Cytron 10A Motor Driver Shield ● Etc… The rest, it is fully compa ble with Maker Uno.

ROBOT.HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual - MAKER-UNO CAUTIONS What is the differences if I just select Arduino/Genuino Uno instead of Maker UNO? Arduino/Genuino Uno by default will set all IO pins to INPUT. If you upload a Blink example to Maker UNO, you will get LED 13 blink and also other LEDs light up randomly, (some mes all LED turns on).
