Introduction

What the heck is Arduino? Based on a simple micro-controller board, and A development environment (IDE) for writing software for the boardArduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or

sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.

Hardware Why use Arduino?

Inexpensive bought less than $50.00 assemble your own for less than that

Cross Platform IDE (Windows, MAC, Linux) Open source IDE and extensions

Types of Arduinos. http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Products?from=Main.Hard

ware We have a few examples here for you!
