About:
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It enables users to create interactive electronic objects by providing a development environment for writing code and uploading it to microcontroller boards.
Key Features:
  • Open-source hardware and software
  • Cross-platform IDE
  • Extensive library of sensors and modules
  • Large community support
  • Beginner-friendly programming language
Use Cases:
  • Prototyping IoT devices
  • Educational electronics projects
  • Creating interactive art installations
Alternatives:
  • Raspberry Pi – Full computer vs microcontroller, more powerful but less real-time control
  • ESP32 – Similar microcontroller with built-in WiFi/Bluetooth, often used with Arduino IDE
