or horizontal. The micro USB with five pins, which pins identification (ID) Micro AB USB connectors special work. AB connectors with pin ID can allow the device to function as a connector A or B to standard USB technology. This gives the new smart phones and other devices the option to act as either a single storage device or as provi

PWM technically be the pulse-width modulation (also known as PWM stands for pulse-width modulation) of a signal or energy source. It is a technique in which the duty cycle of a periodic signal (a sine or a square, for example) is modified, either for transmitting information through a communications channel or to control the amount of power that is sent to a load. Pair

The Wifi technology is a wireless communication mechanism between devices. This technology allows you to connect devices such as computers, laptops, mobile etc... to the Internet or communicate with the devices themselves.

Applications can be several, among the most common are the access points, ideal for giving and sharing a connection signal to multiple devices. It is the typical configuration of a home user.
Repeater, ideal to repeat and amplify weak signal.

The power and range between devices basically depends on the antenna and its hardware.

The wireless signals work under a unified standard regulations, the standard that is based on the IEEE 802.11. These include IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11n working at 11 Mbit/s, 54 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s, respectively.
Being any device with a standardized protocol such technology can connect to another using the same technology, making it a kind of universal connection.

The wireless networks are characterized by the ease and convenience of making connections in infrastructure, since it is not necessary to perform network cable installations.
it also allows connecting a lot of devices to a single node.

There are several ways to connect electronic devices to each other; cables, infrared, etc. Bluetooth technology is one of them and enabling wireless transmission of voice and/or data between devices by radio frequency.
It is a technology of radio waves at short range (2.4 GHz) whose objective is the communication between devices such as computers, smartphones, tablets, printers, headsets and other dispositives hand.
Bluetooth is called the communication protocol specifically designed for low-power devices. These devices can be classified according to their transmission power:
- Class 1: 100 mW, maximum range approximately 100 meters.
- Class 2: 2.5 mW, approximate maximum range between 5 and 10 meters.
- Class 3: 1 mW, maximum range approximately 1 meter.

We can also classify this technology by standard. All these versions have backward compatibility, ie, it allows the latest standard is compatible with all previous versions.

- Version 1.2: 1 Mbit/s
- Version 2.0 + EDR: 3 Mbit/s
- Version 3.0 + HS: 24 Mbit/s
- Version 4.0: 24 Mbit/s

When calculating the life of a battery it will be necessary to know the number of charge cycles that can be performed until the battery does not begin to lose its capacity.
Depending on the type of battery these charging cycles can vary, the most common being the mobile batteries, manufactured Li-Ion or Li-Po, which have a duration of between 300 and 500 charging cycles according to model and manufacturer.
Once thisE limit we will notice how the battery loses duration of operation, arriving to lose up to 25% of its capacity of load.
At this point it will be necessary to evaluate a battery change.
It should be noted that usage and charging habits can significantly affect battery life. For example, factors such as heat, charge the battery several times a day without it is almost exhausted, etc. Will be affectedits duration.
Therefore, to get the most out of the battery we must know when a full charge cycle is performed, and try to avoid misuse of charge, to increase its useful life.
A charging cycle is considered when the battery has been discharged or its 100% charge has been used.
The manufacturers advise that the charge is never made below the 58% battery, since the battery voltage would not fall so lowTo, so you could end up winning up to 4000 charge cycles.
Tips to increase the life of a battery.

• Avoid extreme heat or cold or very long applications of the device.
• Charge the battery as often as you can.
• Fully discharge the battery from time to time.
• Do not let the battery run out completely before charging.

Below is a table with theDifferent voltages (V), charge cycles (C) and battery percentage (B).

Arduino is defined as a combined system between hardware and software, which allows users with or without programming knowledge to create projects from scratch. Thanks to its low cost and its wide range of accessories, it has become one of the most appreciated devices by the creative community or called makers (creators).

Within the Arduino range we can find different devices, which will allow us to easily create projects that perform different functions. Its open source GNU free access is essential in the maker community, which allows its creator to develop almost any prototype he can think of.

Arduino was created with the aim of reducing and lowering the material costs needed by interactive design students from Ivrea, Italy, since the devices they used previously were very expensive. This new Arduino project reduced the cost of the material each student needed and eventually became a commercial product as we know it today.

These small plates consist of a SRAM memory, with its own flash storage system (EEPROM), microcontrollers and a microprocessor, currently we can find different processors for the most current models, such as processors:

- 8-bit Atmel AVR
- 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+
- 32-bit ARM CortexM3
- Intel Quark (x86) 32-bit

Arduino has an open source programming software called the Arduino IDE, with which anyone can create the basis of a new project. Both software and hardware are compatible with Windows, MacOS, and Linux operating systems. Its programming only requires a USB connection to the PC and the free programming software.

Among the different devices we can find the main Arduino board, the nerve center of any project, among which we can find:

- Arduino Uno R3
- Arduino Leonardo
-Arduino 101
- Arduino Explore
-Arduino Zero
- Arduino Mega 2560
-Arduino Due
-ArduinoMicro
- Arduino Nano
- Arduino MXR 2 UNO Adapter
- Arduino MKR Zero
- Arduino Yun
- Arduino Ethernet among others



In order to expand its functionality, we have a wide range of shields or modules that allow you to expand its functionality, such as screens, Wi-Fi modules, etc. these can be attached to the Arduino board itself, thus allowing it to read inputs and send data outputs. Among some shields we can find:

- Xbee wireless modules
- USB ports
- Sensors
- Breadboard
- Card readers
- WiFi connection
- Motors or servos
- Ethernet connection
- GPS module
- GSM module
- RS232 module
- Relays
- LCD screens
- Sound and DMX

Among some examples that we can create with Arduino and its external components we can find clocks, scales, alarms, automated irrigation systems, a battery tester, control of mechanical arms and much more.

Thanks to its large community of makers, we can find hundreds of projects to carry out on the net, ideal for delving into the world of electronics and programming, whether at an educational, professional or domestic level.
