Overview

• What is Arduino
• What flavors does it come in
• Shields and add on hardware
• Examples of projects

What is an Arduino

• 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 Team

• Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe,
  Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis.
• Nicholas Zambetti has contributed since the
  beginning.

5
What is Open Hardware

• Open-source hardware shares
• Release all of the original design files (Eagle
  CAD) for the Arduino hardware. These files are
  licensed under a Creative
• Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, which
  allows for both personal and commercial
  derivative works, as long as they credit Arduino
  and release their designs under the same license.

What is Open Software

• The Arduino software is also open-source.
• The source code for the Java environment
• is released under the GPL and the C/C
• microcontroller libraries are under the
• LGPL.
• The source code for Arduino is now hosted
• on GitHub.
