Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on
flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for
artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating
interactive objects or environments.


Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of
sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors,
and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed
using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the
Arduino development environment (based on Processing). Arduino
projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software on
running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).


The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the
software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs
(CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free
to adapt them to your needs.


Arduino received an Honory Mention in the Digital Communities section
of the 2006 Ars Electronica Prix. Credits
