Arduino Projects
Arduino is a user-friendly, open-source electronics
platform that uses hardware and software to read inputs and produce
outputs. It's used in many projects, including robotics, security, music,
and other STEM fields.
Here are some things to know about Arduino:
How it
works
Arduino boards can read inputs like a finger on a button,
light on a sensor, or a Twitter message. They can then turn these inputs
into outputs, such as activating a motor, turning on an LED, or publishing
something online.
Hardware
and software
Arduino hardware requires the Arduino Software (IDE) to be
installed on a laptop or other PC device. The IDE connects to the hardware
to upload programs and communicate with the hardware components.
Licensing
Arduino's hardware products are licensed under a CC BY-SA
license, while the software is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL).
Power
Arduino boards can be powered by a USB cable or a wall power
supply. The recommended voltage for most Arduino models is between 6 and
12 Volts
