Arduino is an open source hardware and
software company and user community that designs manufactures kits based on
microcontrollers. Arduino boards may be purchased it like do-it- yourself kits
and also hardware design information is also available for those who would like
to assemble an Arduino from scratch.
As we say open source software of Arduino, it
gives IDE (Integrated Development Tool) for writing, editing, compilation of
user code and then downloading it into a target microcontroller which placed on
Arduino boards.
Arduino is tool for making computers that can
sense and control more of the physical world than desktop computers.
Arduino
can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of
switches or sensors and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and others
physical outputs.
Why Arduino?
There are many other microcontrollers and
microcontroller platforms available for physical computing. Parallax Basic
Stamp, Netmedia's and many others offer similar functionality. All of these
tools take the messy details of microcontroller programming and wrap it up in
an easy-to-use package.
Arduino also simplifies the process of working with
microcontrollers, but it offers some advantage for teachers, students, and
interested amateurs over other systems:
