What is Arduino?

The Arduino would be said to be a tool to build a computer system in the sense that it would control devices in the physical world, as opposed to your common Computer. It is open hardware and software and is based on a development board that integrates a microcontroller and connects to the PC to program it through a simple development environment.

An Arduino can be used to deploy interactive objects, receive inputs from a variety of instrument sensors and switches, and control various lights, motors and other physical output devices. Projects on this Microcontroller can be standalone (at the hardware level) or communicate with some software on the developer\’s PC (programs such as Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be easily assembled even by a beginner or purchased prefabricated. The software development environment is based on the Processing programming language and the Wiring programming language, which are open source (open source) and can be downloaded for free. Arduino Programming Language is an application at the software level of cabling. It perfectly simulates the physical environment of the microcontroller.
