- 1. **Digital pins** Use these pins with digitalRead(), digitalWrite(), and analogWrite(). analogWrite() works only on the pins with the PWM symbol.

- 2. **Pin 13 LED** The only actuator built-in to your board. Besides being a handy target for your first blink sketch, this LED is very useful for debugging.

- 3. **Power LED** Indicates that your Arduino is receiving power. Useful for debugging.

- 4. **ATmega microcontroller** The heart of your board.

- 5. **Analog in** Use these pins with analogRead().

- 6. **GND and 5V pins** Use these pins to provide +5V power and ground to your circuits.

- 7. **Power connector** This is how you power your Arduino when it's not plugged into a USB port for power. Can accept voltages between 7-12V.

- 8. **TX and RX LEDs** These LEDs indicate communication between your Arduino and your computer. Expect them to flicker rapidly during sketch upload as well as during serial communication. Useful for debugging.

- 9. **USB port** Used for powering your Arduino UNO, uploading your sketches to your Arduino, and for communicating with your Arduino sketch (via Serial. println() etc.).

- 10. **Reset button** Resets the ATmega microcontroller.
