What is Arduino ?
Arduino is a single-board
microcontroller designed to make the
process of using electronics
in many projects more accessible. The
hardware consists of a simple open source
hardware board designed around an 8-
bit Atmel AVR microcontroller, though a
new model has been designed around a 32-
bit Atmel ARM. The software consists of a
standard programming language compiler
and a boot loader that executes on
the microcontroller.
Why Arduino is the most popular
Microcontroller Board in the World ?

1- Open Source

2 - Easy to use

3 - Easy to program
How to use Arduino ?
Arduino Boards
Arduino Due
The Due is Arduino’s first ARM-based Arduino development
board. This board is based on a powerful 32bit CortexM3
ARM microcontroller made programmable through the
familiar Arduino IDE. It increases the computing power
available to Arduino users keeping the language as
compatible as possible so that many programs will be
migrated in a matter of minutes!
Arduino Shields

Arduino shields are modular circuit boards that

piggyback onto your Arduino to instill it with
extra functionality. Want to connect your
Arduino to the Internet and post to Twitter?
There’s a shield for that. Want to make your
Arduino an autonomous rover? There are
shields for that. There are dozens (hundreds?)
of shields out there, all of which make your
Arduino more than just a development board
with a blinky LED.
