Arduino
The easy-to-use hardware and software platform

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform that provides both hardware (microcontroller boards) and software (an IDE and cloud tools) for building interactive electronic projects. It serves makers, educators, and professionals with a range of boards, development tools, and an IoT cloud platform. Arduino also fosters a large global community with tutorials, forums, and project-sharing resources.
Users program Arduino microcontroller boards using the Arduino IDE or cloud editor, then deploy code to hardware to control sensors, actuators, and connected devices.
