ARDUNIO:
Arduino board is an open-source
platform used to make electronics
projects. It consists of both a
microcontroller and a part of the
software or Integrated Development
Environment(IDE) that runs on your
PC.
WHY ARDUINO?
The Arduino software is very simple
to use for beginners, yet flexible
adequate for advanced users. It
runs on windows, Linux and Mac.
This board started altering to adapt
new requirements and challenges,
separating its present from 8-bit
boards to products for IoT (Internet
of Things) applications. Compare to
other microcontrollers Arduino is a
development board which comes
with different peripherals like I2C,
SPI and PWM etc

TYPES OF ARDUINO:

1. Arduino Uno
2. Arduino Mega
3. Arduino Leonardo
4. Arduino Mini
HISTORY:
5. Arduino Nano
It was in the year 2005 that the first 6. Arduino Lilypad
ever Arduino board was born in the
classrooms of the Interactive
Design Institute in Ivrea, Italy. The
Arduino, created by Massimo Banzi
and other founders, ardunio is a
tiny, easy-to-use open-source
microcontroller that's inspired
thousands of people around the
world to make the coolest things
they can imagine from toys to
satellite gear. The platform of an
Arduino has become very famous
with designers or students just
starting out with electronics, and for
an excellent cause.
