Electronic prototyping has been

difficult for the average person due to
the complexity of traditional
microprocessors.

The Arduino is a modular open source

microprocessor that revolutionizes
electronic design.

The
Arduino

The Arduino utilizes a modular and simplistic

design, allowing for the user to destruct and
build new projects easily.

Cross-Platform
Design

While most other microprocessors are limited to

the windows OS, Arduino runs cross-platform.
Allowing most computers to use the Arduino.
