What is Arduino®

Arduino ® is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino ®boards are able to read inputs – light-on sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message – and turn it into an output – activating of 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).

Surf to www.arduino.cc and www.arduino.org for more information.

Overview
