+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 open-source Arduino environment makes it easy to write code and
+upload it to the i/o board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The
+environment is written in Java and based on Processing, avr-gcc, and
+other open source software.
