Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform that consists of hardware and software designed to make it easy for people to create interactive projects. At its core, an Arduino board contains a microcontroller, which can be programmed to read inputs from sensors or control outputs like lights and motors. Users can write code using the Arduino software, allowing them to bring their ideas to life, from simple electronic devices to complex robotics. It’s popular in education, hobbyist projects, and prototyping due to its accessibility and extensive community support.
