5 More Ways to Destroy an Arduino

This video tutorial discusses five additional ways to inadvertently damage an Arduino board, building on the previous episode's five methods. It covers the risks of applying excessive voltage to the 3.3 Volt connector pin, short-circuiting the DC power input, damaging the 5 Volt regulator, exceeding the reset pin voltage limit, and surpassing the total microcontroller current. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding these risks to protect the Arduino and highlights the Rugged Duino board's protective features. The video concludes with recommendations for safe Arduino usage and encourages viewers to explore further learning resources.

What is the consequence of applying more than 3.3 volts to the 3.3 Volt connector pin on an Arduino?

• It will reset the Arduino.

• It can damage the 3.3 Volt regulator.

• It will increase the Arduino's processing speed.

• It will have no effect.

What happens if you short the V in pin to the ground pin while using the DC power jack?

• The Arduino will start overheating.

• The Arduino will enter a safe mode.

• The blocking diode may be destroyed.

• The Arduino will power off safely.

Why is it not recommended to supply voltage through the 5 Volt pin on an Arduino?

• It will cause the Arduino to reset.

• It can cause the Arduino to overheat.

• It can reverse current flow and damage the 5 Volt regulator.

• It will slow down the Arduino's performance.

What is the maximum voltage the reset pin on an Arduino can handle?

• 9 volts

• 15 volts

• 5 volts
