Arduino

Arduino serves as a valuable platform for building electronics projects.

It contains a microcontroller and software known as IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which runs on the computer. The IDE also serves in writing and uploading computer code to the board.

What is Arduino

Unlike other programmable circuit boards, it is now well-known for beginners in electronics. It does not need a different programmer to load any code on the board. All you need to get is a USB cable. Also, the IDE works on the simpler version of C++, which makes it easier to understand and learn.

What is Arduino

Why use Arduino

The software is easy for beginners and flexible for more professional users who run on Linux, Mac, and Windows.

Teachers and students use it to create scientific instruments and learn robotics and programming. Designers also make use of the software to create interactive prototypes.

Also, artists and musicians use it to install and experiment with their new instruments.

Why use Arduino

The reasons why people choose it:

Affordability: the board is more affordable than other platforms

The platform is clear and straightforward; beginners find it easy, while advanced users also find it flexible.

Cross-platform: the software runs on Macintosh OSX, Windows, and Linux.

It is open-source software; experienced programmers can expand the language of the software by using C++ libraries.
