Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based
on a simple input/output microcontroller board, and a development environment
for writing software for the board that implements the Processing language.
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the
physical world than your desktop computer.
If you ever have an interest in creating a program that can
control anything according to the physical environment (e.g. speed of motor,
temperature sensing and control etc.). Than you might be interested in
microcontroller development.
Microcontrollers are notorious for being difficult to
program; the goal of Arduino is to create an accessible way for software
developers to enter the world of microcontroller programming.
Arduino is a microcontroller interface built around an Atmel
ATmega processor, coupled with a language and programming environment for
creating logic on the chip. 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 other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be
stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your computer
(e.g. Flash, Processing and MaxMSP). The boards can
be built by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for
free.
