What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open electronics platform for prototyping based on flexible software and hardware to use.

What is Arduino?

It is an electronic card that basically integrates a microcontroller and a set of pins of connection of inputs and outputs that allow by means of a certain program, interacting with the physical medium through sensors and electronic actuators.

In this way you can create your own technological projects, equip them with sensors that detect the physical magnitudes like light, heat, force, etc ... and based on that information, writing a program, activate other devices (actuators) as Small bulbs, LEDs, Servomotors, small DC motors, relays, etc ... The sensors are connected to the input pins and the actuators to the output pins.
