MICROCONTROLLER
A programmable integrated circuit which
can trigger or control direct-current(DC)
devices such as relay, LED, dc motors,
stepper motor, and actuators based on the
program embedded on it.
Most
common
application
of
microcontroller are in the field of robotics
and automation

 Microcontroller can process data collected

by sensors but its specialty is to control.
It has internal processor, memory and
most commonly reprogrammable.

Hernando Barragan
Initiated
a
project
called WIRING an
open source framework
for microcontroller(2003)
WIRING includes a
user-friendly integrated
development (IDE) and a
ready-to-use
microcontroller board

Massimo Banzi
Barragan professor in Interaction
Design Institute Ivrea(IDII), Italy
Further developed and improved
the work of Barragan
The improvement aims to facilitate
low cost , simpler, and easy
programming
of
microcontroller
board
In 2005, the first improved
prototype board was created
ARDUINO named after King
Arduin and Bar di Re Arduino

Arduino Core Team

Massimo Banzi, David
Cuartielles, Gianluca
Martino, David Mellies
and Tom Igoe
Support the
development of Arduino
platform

Arduino Programming Language

Based on WIRING
of Barragan and
Arduino IDE base
on PROCESSING
an open source
programming
language developed
by Ben Fry and
Casey Reas
