Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It consists of programmable microcontroller boards and an integrated development environment (IDE) for writing and uploading code to control physical devices. It is widely used for prototyping interactive electronics projects, robotics, and IoT applications.

Also known as: Arduino IDE, Arduino Boards, Arduino Microcontroller, Arduino Uno, Arduino Programming Language

Why learn Arduino?

Developers should learn Arduino for hands-on embedded systems development, especially when creating prototypes, educational projects, or simple IoT devices. It is ideal for beginners in electronics due to its simplicity, but also useful for professionals in fields like robotics, home automation, and sensor-based systems where rapid prototyping is needed.
