Notes
Arduino
- Arduino is a company that produces microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world.
- First Arduino was introduced in 2005.
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit
- Parts for a microcontroller include a processor core, memory and programmable input/output peripherals.
- Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications and are used in automatically controlled products and devices.
- Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, which integrate analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems.
- Arduino kits are inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. As low as 50$ for a pre-assembled module.
- The Arduino Software (IDE) runs on Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux operating systems.
- The software is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for experienced users to take advantage as well.
- It also as open source and extensible software and hardware.
