The Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform intended to make interactive objects and environments more accessible. It was first developed in 2005 in Italy as an inexpensive yet powerful platform for sensing and controlling objects. The Arduino hardware specifications include a microcontroller, digital and analog input/output pins, and interfaces for programming and connecting circuits. It can be programmed through an open-source IDE to sense environmental inputs and control outputs like motors and lights. An example application is a blinking LED controlled by a button press. The Arduino is widely used for prototyping in fields like robotics, home automation, and education.

3. What is an Arduino ?
The Arduino is an single-board microcontroller,
intended to make the application of interactive objects
or environments more accessible .
Designed to make the process of using electronics
multidisciplinary projects more accesible.

4. What an Arduino can ?
 Sense the environment by receiving input from variety of
sensors.
 Affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and
other actuators.

5. Brief History of Arduino..
 In 2005, a project was initiated to make a device for
controlling student-built interactive design projects
that was less expensive than other prototyping systems
available at the time.
 Founders Massimo Banzi and David Cuartielles named
the project after Arduin of Ivrea and began producing
boards in a small factory located in Ivrea.

9. Programming Environment
 The Arduino Uno can be
programmed with the Arduino
software IDE(integrated
development environment).
 The Atmega328 on the Arduino
Uno comes preburned with a
Bootloader that allows you to
upload new code to it without the
use of an external hardware
programmer.
 Arduino IDE works on windows ,
linux as well as Mac lion X
platforms.


// constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2; // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int ledPin = 13; // the number of the LED pin
// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status
void setup() {
// initialize the LED pin as an output:
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// turn LED on:
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
} else {
// turn LED off:
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}
