## The Board

The custom-made Arduino® Braccio Carrier provides a wide range of connectivity capabilities to the Arduino® Educational boards. For easy to learn and play around prototyping robotic and smart automation projects in and out of classrooms, Arduino® Braccio Carrier features interfaces for display, servo motors and joystick. Along with high-speed RS-485/422 and RS-232 serial communication, the carrier board offers huge support for several accessories through the IO headers. In situations of long-range operations, RS-485 can support several devices on the same bus in a noisy environment. The board has robust electrostatic discharge protection circuitry to keep the components safe.

### Application Examples

- **Smart Automation**: The industry-standard RS-232 and RS-485/422 serial communication support for Arduino® Braccio Carrier has made it possible to implement smart automation IoT projects for a wide range of projects. The low-power carrier board enables students to take advantage of the onboard connectors and play with the Arduino® hardware for the enhanced learning experience
- **Robotic Arm**: Through servo motor connector supporting up to a total of 6 motors has given a chance to demonstrate robotic application including RC Car. Some of the most interesting robotic applications with faster prototyping come from the student community for various problem statements.
- **Gaming**: Thanks to the Mini Joystick connector provided on the Arduino® Braccio Carrier carrier board which facilitates the implementation of LCD gaming options. Interfacing Mini Joystick with the carrier board integrated with a powerful Arduino® board can deliver some really exciting projects.

### Block Diagram

![Arduino Braccio Carrier System Block Diagram](assets/System_Block_Diagram_Braccio_Carrier.jpg)

The USB powers the Arduino® Nano RP2040 Connect which is the heart of the Braccio Carrier as it stores the programs responsible for the functioning of the whole system. The Nano is connected to the joystick which is the input peripheral and LED display screen which is the output peripheral of the microcontroller. Another power supply via USB-C powers the connected motors which constitute the entire robotics functionality the system. RS485 Transceiver signals the motor connector for the precise motihe motors according to the input given by the user.
