Description:
Nothing feels worse than getting a new Arduino board and then managing to destroy it after a manner of minutes.
This episode discusses five ways you can easily damage an Arduino - so you can avoid them!
Mistake #1: Shorting I/O Pins to Ground
Mistake #2: Shorting I/O Pins to Each Other
Mistake #3: Apply Overvoltage to I/O Pins
Mistake #4: Apply External Vin Power Backwards
Mistake #5: Apply greater than 5V to the 5V Connector Pin
We also learn about an Arduino UNO derivate designed to protect against each potential mishap.
Everything has limits.
If you try to drive a semi-trailer full of gold bars over a tiny bridge, you could exceed the weight limit of the bridge, destroying the bridge and probably screwing up the semi-truck too.
Or, if you drive a car at 100mph and then try to stop it within ten feet of a brick wall - you’re probably going get all smashed up - and it’s not the car’s fault - there are certain limits the vehicle must be operated within.
The Arduino is no different. It has limits that it must be operated within. If you exceed those limits expect that you will damage or destroy an Arduino board.
If you know the limits - if you’re equipped with this knowledge - then you'll be able to protect yourself from making the mistakes that might lead to destruction.

@SoapierGlobe421 2 года назад

If you do use Vin and dont trust you self, just put a Zener Diode between, so if you do connect it the wrong way, it will just short the battery Most Offical Arduino board (Mega 2560, UNO) have this anyway

@la7yka 2 года назад

This is not really true, when it comes to I/O pins and ground. The microcontroller has internally a current limiting output driver, so it can handle a short circuit to ground without taking any damage. The current available is about 20mA. We also can see projects in the Arduino world, people connecting LEDs directly to output pins w/o any current limiting resistor. In those cases the microcontroller is delivering max. current output, into a typical 1.8V - 2.4V voltage limiting load. However, when working as inputs the absolutely maximum input voltage is 5.5V before damage. Also, the "Aref"-pin is suspectible for damage, as it's outputting the actual Aref-voltage (5V as default) when external Aref is not set. This pin must not be shorted to neither +V or GND, only float. By the way I like your videos :)

@zachsylvester309 2 года назад

When I was a kid messing with an Arduino UNO I was trying to power a motor with Arduino PWM so no motor controller this motor would've also pulled about 500 mah. Then I had a 9 v plugged into the vin and ground. My circuit didn't really make sense lol because I didn't have any resistors at the time and I smoked the atmega chip. But surprisingly it still worked after being smoked and there was no damage as far as I could tell.

Would connecting a DI (pull up resistance) to a GND pin destroy the arduino? I don’t have a breadboard in hand, only a breakout board and want to test out if my code is reading the DI pin correctly. Essentially doing this to mimic a button pressed when DI is connected to GND. Thank you

Problem #4 can be solved by adding a diode to the PCB to prevent current from flowing in the wrong direction between the vin-pin and ground-pin. Since the schematic for the Arduino is open source, I don't know why this hasn't been implemented into the design. Is there perhaps a particular reason why they didn't add a diode to the schematic to protect the Arduino from situation #4?

The free course is great for total newbies. If you have programming experience, most of the stuff on actual coding will be far too simple. But here and there there is still good information about specifically coding on the Arduino, and it's a way to get familiar with the device, the IDE, and getting them to talk to each other. It's a good place to start.

I had shorted pins accidentally before, but the arduino is just resets. so i never killed a pin that way

@johnbrandolini2915 7 лет назад

Even tho' I haven't damaged my UNOs yet, your video hammered home the idea that I could. However, my solution was to purchase two blank ATMEGA328P chips and burn the Arduino bootloader to them. Now I have 2 spare chips in the off chance that I toast the chips on the board. I've been pretty careful so far but have in one instance overdriven an LED to the point of damaging the LED. I guess the LED was a cheap fuse in this case. The chips are available both pre-programmed ($5.49) and blank ($4.95) from Jameco. I had originally bought the Arduino ISP for projects I had in mind where I would program the board without using the bootloader. So now I'm a little more comfortable using the boards knowing I have spare processors tucked away. The Ruggeduino is a nice idea but a little overkill for the average hobbyist.

@markharrington5826 7 лет назад

The best way to protect any port on any processor is to use opto couplers but not just for over current conditions and over voltage but for other reasons too one of these being that noise Spurious bursts of noise upset and change values on port registers which can give you false readings when dealing with high switching speeds Shifting through registers and suddenly changing from output to input can equally produce the same result but for best results either use hex buffers or opto couplers and since we are moving towards fibre optic might a a good idea to do this anyway then you can move forward with that technology

I bought a Arduino last week, and as I was wiring up a 4 digit 7 segment display, I accidentally created a short circuit. Luckily one of the LED's inside the display got destroyed, and broke the connection. I have so far not notice anything wrong with the board or microcontroller, and I have tested all the pins since then.

@Mrvideosandgames 7 лет назад

This seems like a big advertisement. My Arduino has survived short circuits - the LEDs just go a bit dim and/or the board resets. By the way, if I remember correctly, the barrel connector protects against reverse polarity.

@MegaACE234 8 лет назад

Nice video, but I think that you have exagerated some things. I have done some of those things with my Arduino and it's still going strong. For example, I had switch the polarity of an ATMega328P standalone and it got very got, but in 10 minutes it was fine.

@OthmanAlikhan 8 лет назад

Thanks for the video =)

@derekeuchner1800 8 лет назад

Perhaps someone could clarify a couple things for me. In other videos a pushbutton when pressed directly connects the 5volts out to a digital input pin, so is that power source regulated in a way that prevents overcurrent casualties? Also I have heard that a 12vdc automotive battery source can be used to power the board directly, so does anyone have experience with that?

@frantaspicl6792 Год назад

If you set Arduino pin as an Input it has much higher resistance than pin set as Output, that's why you can directly connect it to 5v but even with this high resistance you shouldn't ever exceed the 5v limit otherwise you will damage the pin (or the entire microprocessor) too.

Or do i really need to set another pin as an output and add a transistor to use it like as a switch?

@sudeshnaC 8 лет назад

Sir,what is the max. voltage that can be applied to the Vin?

@SoapierGlobe421 2 года назад

Due to the Onboard reglator, for the the ones that have the SMD version of 7805/78L05/etc(Any 3 pin, 5V) Regulators, Technicality 7 to 40V, For best regulation(This is for all 3 pin(IN-COMMON-OUT)) is +3V above the output and shall not exceed 40V You WILL damage any 3 pin regulator going above 40V But things limit this on the arduino board, 1 - The Capacitors, there normally rated at +25V, 2 - The DC connector the way its designed, only as high as +12V There rated at 7-12V Best output go for 8-12V Also, a note, the Regulator on arduino is 1A max output

@imrequael 7 лет назад

all these comments saying that with the same price they can buy 20 of them from china i would sugggest to remember that in the first place ruggeduino was created be implemented in industrial use and enviroment. if you put an arduino in an industrial situation it wont last longer. because arduino has no ESD protection no current limit protection no current limit on the pins no precision clock no protected and insulated pins no over voltages and no possibility to run from -40 to 85 degrees celsius. This is the difference not the fact that you coulf buy 10 from china at the same price, of course you could but it will last a week on an industrial enviroment and also is not even certified and protected so the price is fully justified

@thegoodhen 7 лет назад

I can't help but feel like some of this info is misleading... Sorry to say, not saying this was intentional, but! Shorting pins to ground/together: Done that many times before on an accident. The current draw gets so high the regulator can't cope with it and the Arduino resets, tristating the pins. Applying overvoltage to the pins: I've actually seen an Atmel document, which shows applying 220V to the digital input. (I think, don't quote me on that). Anyway-the point is, that the pins DO already have protective diodes that clamp the voltage. These can take few thousand volts, as they are designed for ESD protection. Obviously, the current needs to be limited. But my guess would be that 9V through 1k wouldn't do any damage at all... Reversing the polarity is something that's impossible to do when powering the Arduino from USB. The mistake of connecting a battery in reverse to the 5V and GND pins isn't easy to make. Putting over 5V to the 5V pin is also not an easy mistake to do...

@erhardpostinger1326 5 лет назад

Why?: It is a common misconception that the Arduino 5V regulator will ensure that the 5V voltage remains at 5V, no matter what. IT WILL NOT! The only thing the 5V regulator can do is control current coming from the USB port or the external DC power jack. If the current is coming from an external power source directly connected to the 5V connector pin, the regulator can do nothing about it. Another consequence of applying more than 5V to the 5V connector pin is possible damage to the PC's USB port. If the Arduino is powered from USB then this excessive voltage can cause current to flow backwards through the voltage-switching MOSFET T1 and back to the PC's USB port.
