ATmega328 micro-controller – The chip that controls everything on the RedBoard.
Pin 13 LED – Light built in to the red board for pin 13.
7-15 volt power supply input – Receives power for the RedBoard. (From either 7-15 volts)
Transmission LED – Lights up when the transmitting data to the computer. (Through the USB cable.)
Power LED – Lights up when the RedBoard is on, and when receiving power (either the power port or the USB cable.)
Reception LED – Lights up when the RedBoard receives data from the computer.
USB port to computer – Where the RedBoard can be powered, programmed and receive data.
Analog pins – Only receive Power and detect how much electrical power is getting in.
ISP header – For directly programming the micro controller.
Power pins – Supply power to the breadboard and bring power out of breadboard.
Reset button – It begins your program from the start/Resets your mdb.
Digital pins – Transmits and receives digital electrical signals to and from the computer.
