'''Arduino''' ({{IPAc-en|ɑː|r|ˈ|d|w|iː|n|oʊ}}) is an Italian [[open-source hardware]] and [[open-source software|software]] company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures [[single-board microcontroller]]s and [[microcontroller]] kits for building digital devices. Its hardware products are licensed under a [[Creative Commons license|CC BY-SA license]], while the software is licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]] (LGPL) or the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL),<ref>{{Cite web |title=Getting Started: FOUNDATION > Introduction |url=https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/introduction |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829015201/https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Introduction |archive-date=2017-08-29 |access-date=2017-05-23 |website=arduino.cc}}</ref> permitting the [[Manufacturing|manufacture]] of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone. Arduino boards are available commercially from the official [[website]] or through authorized distributors.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arduino - Home |url=https://www.arduino.cc/ |access-date=2022-10-27 |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref>

Arduino board designs use a variety of [[microprocessor]]s and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog [[input/output]] (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards ('shields') or [[breadboards]] (for prototyping) and other circuits. The boards feature serial communications interfaces, including [[Universal Serial Bus]] (USB) on some models, which are also used for loading programs. The microcontrollers can be programmed using the [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]] [[programming language]]s (Embedded C), using a standard API which is also known as the '''Arduino Programming Language''', inspired by the [[Processing (programming language)|Processing language]] and used with a modified version of the Processing IDE. In addition to using traditional [[compiler]] [[toolchains]], the Arduino project provides an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) and a command line tool developed in [[Go (programming language)|Go]].

The Arduino project began in 2005 as a tool for students at the [[Interaction Design Institute Ivrea]], Italy,<ref name="kushner">{{Cite journal |last=Kushner |first=David |date=2011-10-26 |title=The Making of Arduino |url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/geek-life/hands-on/the-making-of-arduino |journal=[[IEEE Spectrum]]}}</ref> aiming to provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and professionals to create devices that interact with their environment using [[sensor]]s and [[actuator]]s. Common examples of such devices intended for beginner hobbyists include simple [[robot]]s, [[thermostat]]s, and [[motion detector]]s.

The name ''Arduino'' comes from a bar in [[Ivrea]], Italy, where some of the project's founders used to meet. The bar was named after [[Arduin of Ivrea]], who was the [[margrave]] of the [[March of Ivrea]] and [[King of Italy]] from 1002 to 1014.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Lahart |first=Justin |date=27 November 2009 |title=Taking an Open-Source Approach to Hardware |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052748703499404574559960271468066 |journal=[[The Wall Street Journal]] |access-date=2014-09-07}}</ref>

==History==

===Founding===
The Arduino project was started at the [[Interaction Design Institute Ivrea]] (IDII) in [[Ivrea]], Italy.<ref name="kushner" /> At that time, the students used a [[BASIC Stamp]] [[microcontroller]] at a cost of $50. In 2004, [[Hernando Barragán]] created the development platform ''[[Wiring (development platform)|Wiring]]'' as a Master's thesis project at IDII, under the supervision of Massimo Banzi and [[Casey Reas]]. Casey Reas is known for co-creating, with Ben Fry, the [[Processing (programming language)|Processing]] development platform. The project goal was to create simple, low cost tools for creating digital projects by non-engineers. The Wiring platform consisted of a [[printed circuit board]] (PCB) with an [[ATmega]]128 microcontroller, an IDE based on Processing and library functions to easily program the microcontroller.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Barragán |first=Hernando |date=2016-01-01 |title=The Untold History of Arduino |url=https://arduinohistory.github.io |access-date=2016-03-06 |website=arduinohistory.github.io}}</ref>
In 2005, Massimo Banzi, with David Mellis, another IDII student, and David Cuartielles, extended Wiring by adding support for the cheaper ATmega8 microcontroller. The new project, forked from Wiring, was called ''Arduino''.<ref name=":0" />

The initial Arduino core team consisted of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis.<ref name="kushner" />

Following the completion of the platform, lighter and less expensive versions were distributed in the open-source community. It was estimated in mid-2011 that over 300,000 official Arduinos had been commercially produced,<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 15, 2011 |title=How many Arduinos are "in the wild?" About 300,000 |url=http://www.adafruit.com/blog/2011/05/15/how-many-arduinos-are-in-the-wild-about-300000/ |access-date=2013-05-26 |publisher=[[Adafruit Industries]]}}</ref> and in 2013 that 700,000 official boards were in users' hands.<ref>{{Cite web |date=April 5, 2013 |title=Arduino FAQ – With David Cuartielles |url=http://medea.mah.se/2013/04/arduino-faq// |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170906182556/http://medea.mah.se/2013/04/arduino-faq/ |archive-date=2017-09-06 |access-date=2014-03-24 |publisher=[[Malmö University]]}}</ref>

===Trademark dispute===
In early 2008, the five co-founders of the Arduino project created a company, Arduino LLC,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Business Entity Summary for Arduino LLC |url=http://corp.sec.state.ma.us/CorpWeb/CorpSearch/CorpSummary.aspx?FEIN=262323943&SEARCH_TYPE=1 |website=Mass.gov |publisher=State of Massachusetts}}</ref> to hold the trademarks associated with Arduino. The manufacture and sale of the boards were to be done by external companies, and Arduino LLC would get a royalty from them. The founding bylaws of Arduino LLC specified that each of the five founders transfer ownership of the Arduino brand to the newly formed company.{{Citation needed|date=September 2015}}

At the end of 2008, Gianluca Martino's company, Smart Projects, registered the Arduino trademark in Italy and kept this a secret from the other co-founders for about two years. This was revealed when the Arduino company tried to register the trademark in other areas of the world (they originally registered only in the US), and discovered that it was already registered in Italy. Negotiations with Martino and his firm to bring the trademark under the control of the original Arduino company failed. In 2014, Smart Projects began refusing to pay royalties. They then appointed a new CEO, Federico Musto, who renamed the company ''Arduino SRL'' and created the website ''arduino.org'', copying the graphics and layout of the original ''arduino.cc''. This resulted in a rift in the Arduino development team.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Allan |first=Alasdair |date=6 March 2015 |title=Arduino Wars: Group Splits, Competing Products Revealed? |url=http://makezine.com/2015/03/06/arduino-vs-arduino/ |access-date=21 April 2015 |website=makezine.com |publisher=Maker Media, Inc.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Banzi |first=Massimo |date=19 March 2015 |title=Massimo Banzi: Fighting for Arduino |url=http://makezine.com/2015/03/19/massimo-banzi-fighting-for-arduino/ |access-date=21 April 2015 |website=makezine.com |publisher=Maker Media, Inc.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Williams |first=Elliot |date=28 March 2015 |title=Arduino SRL to Distributors: "We're the Real Arduino" |url=http://hackaday.com/2015/03/28/arduino-srl-to-distributors-were-the-real-arduino/ |access-date=21 April 2015 |website=Hackaday.com }}</ref>

In January 2015, Arduino LLC filed a lawsuit against Arduino SRL.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arduino LLC vs Arduino SRL lawsuit; United States Courts Archive. |url=https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/mad/167131/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170709234951/https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/mad/167131/ |archive-date=2017-07-09 |access-date=20 February 2018}}</ref>

In May 2015, Arduino LLC created the worldwide trademark '''Genuino''', used as brand name outside the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 May 2015 |title=Arduino Announces New Brand, Genuino, Manufacturing Partnership with Adafruit |url=http://makezine.com/2015/05/16/arduino-adafruit-manufacturing-genuino/ |access-date=17 May 2015 |website=Make}}</ref>

At the World [[Maker Faire]] in New York on 1 October 2016, Arduino LLC co-founder and CEO Massimo Banzi and Arduino SRL CEO Federico Musto announced the merger of the two companies, forming Arduino AG.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 2016 |title=Arduino Blog – Two Arduinos become one |url=https://blog.arduino.cc/2016/10/01/two-arduinos-become-one-2/ |access-date=2016-10-02 |website=Arduino Blog}}</ref> Around that same time, Massimo Banzi announced that in addition to the company a new Arduino Foundation would be launched as "a new beginning for Arduino", but this decision was withdrawn later.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-06-09 |title=Free Arduino {{!}} Make |language=en-US |work=Make: DIY Projects and Ideas for Makers |url=https://makezine.com/2017/06/09/free-arduino/ |access-date=2017-12-22}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-06-19 |title=The Arduino Foundation: What's Up? |language=en-US |work=Hackaday |url=https://hackaday.com/2017/06/19/the-arduino-foundation-whats-up/ |access-date=2017-12-22}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-04-10 |title=A New Era for Arduino: Original Arduino Founders Finally Get 100% Control |url=https://audioxpress.com/news/a-new-era-for-arduino-original-arduino-founders-finally-get-100-control |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=audioXpress |language=en}}</ref>

In April 2017, [[Wired (magazine)|Wired]] reported that Musto had "fabricated his academic record... On his company's website, personal LinkedIn accounts, and even on Italian business documents, Musto was, until recently, listed as holding a Ph.D. from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In some cases, his biography also claimed an MBA from New York University." Wired reported that neither university had any record of Musto's attendance, and Musto later admitted in an interview with Wired that he had never earned those degrees.<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Arduino's New CEO, Federico Musto, May Have Fabricated His Academic Record |url=https://www.wired.com/2017/04/arduinos-new-ceo-federico-musto-may-fabricated-academic-record/ |magazine=WIRED |language=en-US |access-date=2017-12-22}}</ref> The controversy surrounding Musto continued when, in July 2017, he reportedly pulled many [[open source model|open source]] licenses, schematics, and code from the Arduino website, prompting scrutiny and outcry.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Biggs |first=John |title=CEO controversy mars Arduino's open future |language=en |work=TechCrunch |url=https://techcrunch.com/2017/07/26/ceo-controversy-mars-arduinos-open-future/ |access-date=2017-12-22}}</ref>

By 2017 Arduino AG owned many Arduino trademarks. In July 2017 BCMI, founded by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, David Mellis and Tom Igoe, acquired Arduino AG and all the Arduino trademarks. Fabio Violante is the new CEO replacing Federico Musto, who no longer works for Arduino AG.<ref>{{Cite web |date=28 July 2017 |title=Arduino Blog – A new era for Arduino begins today |url=https://blog.arduino.cc/2017/07/28/a-new-era-for-arduino-begins-today/ |access-date=19 Jan 2018 |website=Arduino Blog}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Tom |date=31 July 2017 |title=BCMI Acquires Arduino AG and Makers Breathe a Sigh of Relief |url=https://techwombat.com/bcmi-acquires-arduino-ag-makers-breathe-sigh-relief/ |access-date=29 November 2018 |website=techwombat.com}}</ref>

=== Post-dispute ===
In October 2017, Arduino announced its partnership with [[Arm Holdings]] (ARM). The announcement said, in part, "ARM recognized independence as a core value of Arduino&nbsp;... without any lock-in with the [[ARM architecture family|ARM architecture]]". Arduino intends to continue to work with all technology vendors and architectures.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2017-10-06 |title=Arduino reborn partners with ARM |language=en-GB |work=Electronics Weekly |url=https://www.electronicsweekly.com/blogs/distribution-world/arduino-reborn-partners-arm-2017-10/ |access-date=2017-11-03}}</ref> Under Violante's guidance, the company started growing again and releasing new designs. The Genuino trademark was dismissed and all products were branded again with the Arduino name.

In August 2018, Arduino announced its new open source command line tool ([https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli arduino-cli]), which can be used as a replacement of the IDE to program the boards from a shell.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2018-08-24 |title=Announcing the Arduino Command Line Interface (CLI) |url=https://blog.arduino.cc/2018/08/24/announcing-the-arduino-command-line-interface-cli/ |access-date=2020-06-23 |website=Arduino Blog |language=en}}</ref>

In February 2019, Arduino announced its IoT Cloud service as an extension of the Create online environment.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-02-06 |title=Announcing the Arduino IoT Cloud Public Beta |url=https://blog.arduino.cc/2019/02/06/announcing-the-arduino-iot-cloud-public-beta/ |access-date=2020-06-23 |website=Arduino Blog |language=en}}</ref>

Arduino is [[open-source hardware]]. The hardware reference designs are distributed under a [[Creative Commons]] Attribution Share-Alike 2.5 license and are available on the Arduino website. Layout and production files for some versions of the hardware are also available.

Although the hardware and software designs are freely available under [[copyleft]] licenses, the developers have requested the name ''Arduino'' to be [[generic trademark|exclusive to the official product]] and not be used for derived works without permission. The official policy document on the use of the Arduino name emphasizes that the project is open to incorporating work by others into the official product.<ref name="AutoF7-44" /> Several Arduino-compatible products commercially released have avoided the project name by using various names ending in ''-duino''.<ref name="freeduino" />

[[File:Arduino316.jpg|thumb|An early Arduino board<ref>{{Cite web |title=Hardware Index |url=https://www.arduino.cc/en/main/boards |access-date=2013-12-10 |publisher=Arduino Project}}</ref> with an [[RS-232]] [[serial communication|serial]] interface (upper left) and an Atmel ATmega8 microcontroller chip (black, lower right); the 14 digital I/O pins are at the top, the 6 analog input pins at the lower right, and the power connector at the lower left.]]

Most Arduino boards consist of an [[Atmel]] 8-bit [[AVR microcontroller]] (ATmega8,<ref>{{Cite news |title=Chip Hall of Fame: Atmel ATmega8 |language=en |work=IEEE Spectrum: Technology, Engineering, and Science News |url=https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-history/silicon-revolution/chip-hall-of-fame-atmel-atmega8 |access-date=2017-10-10}}</ref> ATmega168, [[ATmega328]], ATmega1280, or ATmega2560) with varying amounts of flash memory, pins, and features.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arduino - Products |url=https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Products |access-date=20 February 2018 |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref> The 32-bit [[Arduino Due]], based on the Atmel [[Atmel ARM-based processors#SAM 3|SAM3X8E]] was introduced in 2012.<ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Microcontroller Maniacs Rejoice: Arduino Finally Releases the 32-Bit Due |url=https://www.wired.com/2012/10/arduino-due/ |magazine=Wired |access-date=20 February 2018}}</ref> The boards use single or double-row pins or female headers that facilitate connections for programming and incorporation into other circuits. These may connect with add-on modules termed ''shields''. Multiple and possibly stacked shields may be individually addressable via an [[I²C]] [[serial bus]]. Most boards include a 5&nbsp;V [[linear regulator]] and a 16&nbsp;MHz [[crystal oscillator]] or [[ceramic resonator]]. Some designs, such as the LilyPad,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Di Tore |first1=Stefano |last2=Todino |first2=Michele Domenic |last3=Plutino |first3=Antonia |year=2019 |title=Le wearable technologies e la metafora dei sei cappelli per pensare a supporto del seamless learning |journal=Professionalità |volume=4 |issue=II |pages=118–13|issn=0392-2790}}</ref> run at 8&nbsp;MHz and dispense with the onboard voltage regulator due to specific [[form factor (design)|form factor]] restrictions.

Arduino microcontrollers are pre-programmed with a [[bootloader]] that simplifies the uploading of programs to the on-chip [[flash memory]]. The default bootloader of the Arduino Uno is the Optiboot bootloader.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Optiboot Bootloader for Arduino and Atmel AVR |url=https://github.com/Optiboot/optiboot |access-date=2015-10-01 |website=[[GitHub]]}}</ref> Boards are loaded with program code via a serial connection to another computer. Some serial Arduino boards contain a [[level shifter]] circuit to convert between [[RS-232]] logic levels and [[transistor–transistor logic]] ([[TTL serial]]) level signals. Current Arduino boards are programmed via [[Universal Serial Bus]] (USB), implemented using USB-to-serial adapter chips such as the [[FTDI]] FT232. Some boards, such as later-model Uno boards, substitute the [[FTDI]] chip with a separate AVR chip containing USB-to-serial firmware, which is reprogrammable via its own [[In-system programming|ICSP]] header. Other variants, such as the Arduino Mini and the unofficial Boarduino, use a detachable USB-to-serial adapter board or cable, [[Bluetooth]] or other methods. When used with traditional microcontroller tools, instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR [[in-system programming]] (ISP) programming is used.

[[File:UnoConnections.jpg|thumb|An official Arduino Uno R2 with descriptions of the I/O locations]]

The Arduino board exposes most of the microcontroller's I/O pins for use by other circuits. The ''Diecimila'',{{Efn|name="N10000"|''Diecimila'' means "ten thousand" in Italian}} ''Duemilanove'',{{Efn|name="N2009"|''Duemilanove'' means "two thousand and nine" in Italian}} and current ''Uno''{{Efn|name="N1"|''Uno'' means "one" in Italian}} provide 14 digital I/O pins, six of which can produce [[pulse-width modulation|pulse-width modulated]] signals, and six analog inputs, which can also be used as six digital I/O pins. These pins are on the top of the board, via female 0.1-inch (2.54&nbsp;mm) headers. Several plug-in application shields are also commercially available.

Many Arduino-compatible and Arduino-derived boards exist. Some are functionally equivalent to an Arduino and can be used interchangeably. Many enhance the basic Arduino by adding output drivers, often for use in school-level education,<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Di Tore |first1=Stefano |last2=Todino |first2=Michele |last3=Sibilio |first3=Maurizio |date=2019-04-30 |title=Disuffo: Design, prototyping, and development of an open-source educational robot |url=https://oaj.fupress.net/index.php/formare/article/view/3792 |journal=Form@re - Open Journal per la Formazione in Rete |language=it |volume=19 |issue=1 |pages=106–116 |doi=10.13128/FORMARE-24446|s2cid=181368197 }}</ref> to simplify making buggies and small robots. Others are electrically equivalent, but change the form factor, sometimes retaining compatibility with shields, sometimes not. Some variants use different processors, of varying compatibility.

The Arduino [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) is a [[cross-platform]] application (for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[macOS]], and [[Linux]]) that is based on ''[[Processing (programming language)|Processing IDE]]'' which is written in [[Java (programming language)|Java]]. It uses the ''[[Wiring (development platform)|Wiring]]'' API as programming style. It includes a code editor with features such as text cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting, [[brace matching]], and [[syntax highlighting]], and provides simple ''one-click'' mechanisms to compile and upload programs to an Arduino board. It also contains a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions and a hierarchy of operation menus. The source code for the IDE is released under the [[GNU General Public License]], version 2.<ref>{{Cite web |date=August 27, 2020 |title=arduino/Arduino |url=https://github.com/arduino/Arduino |via=GitHub}}</ref>

The Arduino IDE supports the languages [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]] using special rules of code structuring. The Arduino IDE supplies a [[software library]] from the [[Wiring (development platform)|Wiring]] project, which provides many common input and output procedures. User-written code only requires two basic functions, for starting the sketch and the main program loop, that are compiled and linked with a program stub ''main()'' into an executable [[cyclic executive]] program with the [[GNU toolchain]], also included with the IDE distribution. The Arduino IDE employs the program ''avrdude'' to convert the executable code into a text file in [[hexadecimal]] encoding that is loaded into the Arduino board by a loader program in the board's firmware. Traditionally, Arduino IDE was used to program Arduino's official boards based on Atmel AVR Microcontrollers, but over time, once the popularity of Arduino grew and the availability of open-source compilers existed, many more platforms from [[PIC microcontrollers|PIC]], [[STM32]], [[TI MSP430]], [[ESP32]] can be coded using Arduino IDE.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 8, 2024 |title=Unofficial list of 3rd party boards support urls |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Unofficial-list-of-3rd-party-boards-support-urls/}}</ref>

From version 1.8.12, Arduino IDE windows compiler supports only Windows 7 or newer OS. On Windows Vista or older one gets "Unrecognized Win32 application" error when trying to verify/upload program. To run IDE on older machines, users can either use version 1.8.11, or copy "arduino-builder" [[executable]] from version 11 to their current install folder as it is independent from IDE.<ref>{{Cite web |date=May 5, 2021 |title=arduino/Arduino |url=https://forum.arduino.cc/t/arduino-1-8-12-broken-on-windows-vista-arduino-builder-specifically/646345 |via=Arduino.cc}}</ref>

An initial alpha preview of a new Arduino IDE was released on October 18, 2019, as the Arduino Pro IDE. The beta preview was released on March 1, 2021, renamed IDE 2.0. On September 14, 2022, the Arduino IDE 2.0 was officially released as stable.<ref>{{Cite web |date=14 September 2022 |title=It's here: please welcome Arduino IDE 2.0 |url=https://blog.arduino.cc/2022/09/14/its-here-please-welcome-arduino-ide-2-0/ |access-date=12 November 2022}}</ref>

The system still uses Arduino CLI (Command Line Interface), but improvements include a more professional development environment and autocompletion support.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Williams |first=Al |date=21 October 2019 |title=The Arduino IDE Finally Grows Up |url=https://hackaday.com/2019/10/21/the-arduino-ide-finally-grows-up/ |access-date=26 October 2019 |website=Hackaday}}</ref> The application frontend is based on the [[Eclipse Theia]] Open Source IDE.

===Sketch===
A ''sketch'' is a program written with the Arduino IDE.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Programming Arduino Getting Started with Sketches |date=Nov 8, 2011 |publisher=[[McGraw-Hill]] |isbn=978-0071784221}}</ref> Sketches are saved on the development computer as text files with the file extension '''.ino'''. Arduino Software (IDE) pre-1.0 saved sketches with the extension '''.pde'''.

A minimal Arduino C/C++ program consists of only two functions:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arduino - BareMinimum |url=https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BareMinimum |access-date=20 February 2018 |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref>
* {{code|setup()}}: This function is called once when a sketch starts after power-up or reset. It is used to initialize variables, input and output pin modes, and other libraries needed in the sketch. It is analogous to the function {{code|main()}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=setup() - Arduino Reference |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/structure/sketch/setup/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref>
* {{code|loop()}}: After {{code|setup()}} function exits (ends), the {{code|loop()}} function is executed repeatedly in the main program. It controls the board until the board is powered off or is reset. It is analogous to the function {{code|while(1)}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=loop() - Arduino Reference |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/structure/sketch/loop/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref>

;Blink example
[[File:Power and Pin13 LED on Arduino Compatible Board.jpg|alt=Power LED and Integrated LED on Arduino Compatible Board|thumb|Power LED (red) and User LED (green) attached to pin 13 on an Arduino-compatible board]]
Most Arduino boards contain a [[light-emitting diode]] (LED) and a current-limiting resistor connected between pin 13 and ground, which is a convenient feature for many tests and program functions.<ref name="Blink Tutorial" /> A typical program used by beginners, akin to [[Hello, World!]], is "blink", which repeatedly blinks the on-board LED integrated into the Arduino board. This program uses the functions {{code|pinMode()}}, {{code|digitalWrite()}}, and {{code|delay()}}, which are provided by the internal libraries included in the IDE environment.<ref>{{Cite web |title=pinMode() - Arduino Reference |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/digital-io/pinmode/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=digitalWrite() - Arduino Reference |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/digital-io/digitalwrite/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=delay() - Arduino Reference |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/language/functions/time/delay/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref> This program is usually loaded into a new Arduino board by the manufacturer.

<syntaxhighlight lang="arduino" style="font-size:10pt;">
const int LED_PIN = 13;             // Pin number attached to LED.

void setup() {
    pinMode(LED_PIN, OUTPUT);       // Configure pin 13 to be a digital output.
}

void loop() {
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, HIGH);    // Turn on the LED.
    delay(1000);                    // Wait 1 second (1000 milliseconds).
    digitalWrite(LED_PIN, LOW);     // Turn off the LED.
    delay(1000);                    // Wait 1 second.
}
</syntaxhighlight>

===Libraries===
The open-source nature of the Arduino project has facilitated the publication of many free software libraries that other developers use to augment their projects.

===Operating systems/threading===
There is a [[Xinu]] OS port for the ATmega328P (Arduino Uno and others with the same chip), which includes most of the basic features.<ref>{{Cite web |title=xinu-avr: The Xinu OS for AVR ATmega328P |url=http://se.fi.uncoma.edu.ar/xinu-avr/ |website=se.fi.uncoma.edu.ar}}</ref> The source code of this version is freely available.<ref>{{Cite web |date=October 9, 2022 |title=xinu-arduino |url=https://github.com/real-xinu/xinu-arduino |via=GitHub}}</ref>

There is also a threading tool, named Protothreads. Protothreads are described as "extremely lightweight stackless threads designed for severely memory constrained systems, such as small embedded systems or wireless sensor network nodes.<ref>{{Cite conference |last1=Dunkels |first1=A. |last2=Schmidt |first2=O. |last3=Voigt |first3=T. |year=2005 |title=Using Protothreads for Sensor Node Programming |url=http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mdh:diva-4058 |work=Proceedings of the REALWSN 2005 Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks Presented at the REALWSN 2005 Workshop on Real-World Wireless Sensor Networks}}</ref>

There is a port of FreeRTOS for the Arduino.<ref>{{Cite web |title=FreeRTOS for Arduino |url=https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/freertos/ |website=www.arduino.cc}}</ref> This is available from the Arduino Library Manager. It is compatible with a number of boards, including the Uno.
