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. + + |
