Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduinoconsists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.
The Arduino platform has become quite
popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for good reason.
Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a
separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto
the board – you can simply use a USB cable. Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses
a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program. Finally,
Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the
micro-controller into a more accessible package.
There are many other microcontrollers andmicrocontroller platforms available for physical computing. Parallax Basic
Stamp, Net media’s BX-24, Phi gets, MIT's Handy board, and many others offer
similar functionality. All of these tools take the messy details of
microcontroller programming and wrap it up in an easy-to-use package. Arduino
also simplifies the process of working with microcontrollers, but it offers
some advantage for teachers, students, and interested amateurs over other
systems:
Inexpensive - Arduino boards are relatively
inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive
version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the
pre-assembled Arduino modules cost less than $50.
Cross-platform - The Arduino software runs
on Windows, Macintosh OSX, and Linux operating systems. Most microcontroller
systems are limited to Windows.
Simple, clear programming environment - The
Arduino programming environment is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible
enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's
conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students
learning to program in that environment will be familiar with the look and feel
of Arduino.
Open source and extensible software- The
Arduino software is published as open source tools, available for extension by
experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries,
and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from
Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. Similarly, you
can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.
Open Souce and extensible hardware-The
Arduino is based on
Atmel's ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers. The plans
for the modules are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced
circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and
improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard
version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.
