Basic overview of Arduino
Arduino is an open-source electronic prototyping platform that is based on a simple-to-use hardware and software interface. It allows users to create interactive electronic projects without the need for extensive knowledge of electronics or programming. Arduino has become popular among hobbyists, artists, and professionals who are interested in creating interactive projects such as robots, 3D printers, smart home devices, and much more. Arduino was developed by Massimo Banzi and David Cuartielles at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Italy in 2003. The first Arduino board was based on the Atmel AVR microcontroller and had a USB connection for programming and power. Since then, the Arduino community has grown to include thousands of enthusiasts, developers, and designers from all over the world. Arduino is open-source, which means that anyone can access and modify the hardware and software designs. This has led to a vast array of Arduino boards with different capabilities, s
