2. IRVEA, Italy - 2005
Arduino was born at the Ivrea
Interaction Design Institute (IIDI) in a
small town in northern Italy, Ivrea, as
an easy-to-use tool for rapid
prototyping for students with no
experience in electronics and
programming.

3. ARDUINO
Arduino is an open-source
platform that provides both
the hardware part
(development systems) and
the software part necessary
for compiling and
programming development
systems.

4. The Arduino community
The Arduino
community is huge
that deals with the
creation, realization,
implementation of
many projects.

5. Microcontroller
Arduino is one of the most
used microcontroller platforms
that can be compared to a
minicomputer.
The processors are part of the
Atmel family and are of the
SoC type (System on a Chip).

6. Software
An integrated development
environment (IDE), based on
Processing, is used to program
and develop programs,
providing support for C and C ++
language.
The software can run on
operating systems such as Mac,
Windows and Linux.

7. Arduino board
The Arduino board consists
of physically programmable
circuits (microcontroller)
and software running on the
computer: IDE (Integrated
Development Environment).
Arduino - Products

8. Arduino board
component
- The reset key which, if
pressed, automatically starts
the last program loaded in the
microcontroller;
- Several digital input and
output terminals called digital
pins or I / O Pins (I-Input,
O-Output);
- Several analog pins;
- Power pins and table;
- Supply terminal;
- USB terminal used to load the
program into the
microcontroller and for power.
