Arduino

 Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and


software.
 an Arduino is a microcontroller (a small computer on a single chip).
 It can be programmed to read inputs (like light on a sensor, a finger on a button) and turn
them into outputs (like turning on an LED, starting a motor).

Popular Arduino Boards:

 Arduino Uno (most common and beginner-friendly)


 Arduino Nano
 Arduino Mega
 Arduino Leonardo

How It Works:

 You write code (called a sketch) in the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development
Environment) on your computer.
 Then you upload the code to the Arduino board via USB.
 The board executes the code to interact with connected electronic components
(sensors, LEDs, motors, etc.).

Common Uses:

 Home automation
 Robotics
 DIY electronics projects
 School and college engineering projects
 Prototyping for hardware startups

Why It's Popular:

 Open-source (both hardware and software)


 Lots of tutorials and community support
