Intro Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that allows users to read inputs from sensors or devices and turn them into outputs that can control motors, lights, and other physical computing components. It uses a simple hardware and software system where users write code using the Arduino programming language and IDE to tell the microcontroller on an Arduino board what to do. Over the years, Arduino has become popular for powering thousands of projects from everyday objects to scientific instruments, supported by a large global community of makers contributing to shared knowledge.

What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and


software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a
button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning
on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by
sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so you use the
Arduino programming language (based on Wiring), and the Arduino Software (IDE),
based on Processing.

Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday
objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community of makers -
students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals - has gathered around this
open-source platform, their contributions have added up to an incredible amount of
accessible knowledge that can be of great help to novices and experts alike.
