A quick peek at Arduino!

What is an Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source microcontroller board

designed to make the process of using electronics in

multidisciplinary projects more accessible.

What’s with the funny name?

It’s an Italian male name!

What the Heck is a Microcontroller?

A microcontroller is small computer on a single

integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory,

and programmable input/output peripherals.  

Microcontrollers make it easy to digitally control devices

and processes with greater ease and less space than

straight analog functionality.

There are big Arduinos (Arduino Mega), small

Arduinos (Arduino Mini), slim Arduinos (Arduino Fio), Sewable Arduinos (Lilypad Arduino) and standard

Arduinos (Arduino Uno, Leonardo).
