Arduino is an open-source single-board microcontroller, descendant of the open-source Wiring platform,designed to make the process of using electronics in multidisciplinary projects more accessible. The hardware consists of a simple open hardware design for the Arduino board with an Atmel AVR processor and on-board I/O support. The software consists of a standard programming language compiler and the boot loader that runs on the board. Arduino hardware is programmed using a Wiring-based language (syntax + libraries), similar to C++ with some simplifications and modifications, and a Processing-based IDE. Read More... |
Why Choosing Arduino ?
Well we have to answer this question first:Why did Google choose Arduino ?.The answer is very simple, besides there being about 300,000+ Arduino in the wild, I estimate there are about half a million people somehow doing something with the Arduino, from students to people not even realizing they are using this open platform in some way (Processing, education, etc). For a microcontroller platform, as I have said before, it is won and it is here to stay. Community, open IDE, open hardware, no-mess drivers, cross platform ... it is fairly cheap and easy to get going and do something right away.

There are different types of Arduino Boards with different characteristic but the same objectif. Please press the read more to see all the boards and all their differences .
Read More...The Different Arduino Shields
Shields are boards that can be plugged on top of the Arduino PCB extending its capabilities. The different shields follow the same philosophy as the original toolkit: they are easy to mount, and cheap.
