It consists of a physical programmable circuit board and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). One can use the IDE to write a set of instructions or commands to be uploaded into the circuit board, also known as input, and the circuit board will be able to execute the command also known as output.   Maker Uno Edu Kit Figure 1: Components of Maker Uno Board and their functions Figure 2: USB Cable The cable is used to connect the Maker Uno board to a computer with Arduino programming installed. This is so that the codes created in the computer can then be uploaded into the Maker Uno board. Once the code has been uploaded, the USB cable can be plugged in to any power source for it to perform the upl
