About Us

ABOUT ARDUINO

Arduino is the world’s leading open-source hardware and software ecosystem. The Company offers a range of software tools, hardware platforms and documentation enabling almost anybody to be creative with technology.

Originally started as a research project by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis at the Interaction Design Institute of Ivrea in the early 2000s, it builds upon the Processing project, a language for learning how to code within the context of the visual arts developed by Casey Reas and Ben Fry as well as a thesis project by Hernando Barragan about the Wiring board.

WHY ARDUINO?

Why1

Inexpensive

Arduino boards are relatively inexpensive compared to other microcontroller platforms. The least expensive version of the Arduino module can be assembled by hand, and even the pre-assembled Arduino modules cost not so high.

Why2

Simple, clear programming environment

The Arduino Software (IDE) is easy-to-use for beginners, yet flexible enough for advanced users to take advantage of as well. For teachers, it's conveniently based on the Processing programming environment, so students learning to program in that environment will be familiar with how the Arduino IDE works.

Why3

Open source and extensible software

The Arduino software is published as open source tools, available for extension by experienced programmers. The language can be expanded through C++ libraries, and people wanting to understand the technical details can make the leap from Arduino to the AVR C programming language on which it's based. Similarly, you can add AVR-C code directly into your Arduino programs if you want to.

Why4

Open source and extensible hardware

The plans of the Arduino boards are published under a Creative Commons license, so experienced circuit designers can make their own version of the module, extending it and improving it. Even relatively inexperienced users can build the breadboard version of the module in order to understand how it works and save money.

ARDUINO CLASSICS

Classics Background

Message from Massimo Banzi - co-founder

“The Arduino philosophy is based on making designs rather than talking about them. It is a constant search for faster and more powerful ways to build better prototypes. We have explored many prototyping techniques and developed ways of thinking with our hands.”

Non è l'ultima di Arduino ma per moltissimi progetti è ancora insuperabile. Sconsiglio di alimentarla dalla spinetta tonda nera (che può ricevere da 7 a 12 volts e consiglio vivamente di alimentarla a 5v con cavo usb (da computer o da adattatore carica telefono o con riduttore usb da 12 a 5 volts). Il motivo è che alimentandola dalla spina tonda nera (cosa leggibile anche sui documenti ufficiali), ad esempio alimentandola direttamente a 12 volts arduino tende a scaldarsi parecchio (e ciò NON è una buona cosa. Invece con i 5 volts da usb la scheda resta praticamente fredda.

It's exactly what I expected, and it has provided a nice first foray into microcontrollers for this old hand at programming and electronics. It took only minutes to install the free IDE (integrated development environment -- the "programming" tool) and to run a test program on the board. So far I've used it to drive strips of several hundred WS2812b individually addressable programmable LEDs for combination functional/aesthetic lighting installations, and it takes input from either pushbuttons or touch sensors (using I2C bus). But essentially it was the quality I expected for the price I paid.That said...Having the included solid plastic base while prototyping and developing code is somehow a consistently underrated feature that this genuine Arduino Mega2560 board has. I can't stress the benefits of avoiding: accidentally shorting, lowering resistance to ground of, or adding capacitance accidentally to a pin because the underside of the board is touched when moved, or dust containing some metallic particles you didn't notice is on your desk. Point is, for all the functionality of this board, perhaps most impressive thing about the package was a single, undocumented, completely self-explanatory, highly useful simple accessory, simply because it isn't something most people have sitting around. Seriously, how often does an included accessory require no installation, do it's job perfectly, not need replacing, be able to be removed if unwanted, requires no explanation, and avoids both potentially board-destroying situations AND potential programming nightmares where anomalous input could be intermittently created. By including this feature, novice developers who are less likely to be actively aware of certain precautions are saved from a disturbingly short or horribly frustrating first experience working with microcontrollers.I also can't stress enough that if you use microcontrollers which make use of the Arduino IDE (which is MANY), it's a worth buying a slightly more expensive genuine Arduino product once and a while (if they fit your project) to support the company that provides the software and support for free to the world. No, I'm not affiliated in any way, just a fan of their business model.

I absolutely love the Arduino development board line! I helped a buddy of mine with programming his Arduino Uno R3 + Ethernet Shield to take over the controls of an R/C car(Connected Arduino to the circuit board on the car) via internet and fell on love. For most of my projects over the years, I have been using Atmel AT Mega's microcontroller integrated circuits and its always cumbersome when having to start over from scratch to gather all the electrical components, solder all the pieces onto a perf board, and hope you didn't miss a connection/short a connection when you go to power up and program the MCU. Using the Arduino boards makes everything so much more simple! It is based on the AT Megas that I am already so familiar with and the programming is based on Java rather than C because of the bootloader, and since Java is my preferred and most professed language I am quite pleased with that! There is absolutely nothing you can't do with these development boards! With 54 digital I/O and 16 A2D(Analog to Digital) inputs, theres plenty of room for any sensor, servo, communications link, etc that you would want to use! With the massive amount of support from the [...] website as well as other developers and websites offering tons and tons of add-ons (Shields), theres no limit to what you can do and how easy it is to do it! I absolutely recommend this board to ANYONE who is thinking of getting into Robotics or Electronics as an occupation or hobby! Even inventors could benefit from using this device to rapidly build prototypes of their inventions!The one neutral point I have to make is this: When plugging the Arduino 2560 into a PC to begin using it, Windows will recognize the new device but be unable to locate drivers for it. The Arduino programming software on the Arduino home website, Arduino.cc, comes with a folder called "Drivers" and contains many .inf files for allowing Windows to properly use the device. In order to do this, go into your "Device Manager" by right clicking on "My Computer" and then clicking "Manage". Once the window pops up, go to "Device Manager". You should see an unknown device warning with a little yellow exclamation sign next to it. Simply right click on the name and click "Update Driver". It will ask you if you want to "search automatically for the driver" or if you want to "browse your computer for the driver". Click on the Browse option. After having installed the Arduino program software from the above link, browse to the install folder (Default is C:Program Files(x86)Arduino) and point it to the "Drivers" folder. With the "Drivers" folder selected, click "OK" and your computer will search the folder and find the .inf file it needs. It will quickly say "Installing device driver software" and a few short seconds later it will say you're device is ready and you are done! Now you can fully enjoy your Arduino product! If you need help learning the language, a good start would be the reference page on the Arduino home website.Enjoy!!
