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.
