Arduino is an open-source electronics platform, based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs: light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message. And turn it into an output: activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. Thanks to its simple and accessible user experience, Arduino has been used in thousands of different projects and applications.
