Arduino official website:
“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.“
Feature:
1 It is a circuit design platform base on CC open source
2 The software is free to download, and open to everyone
3 Arduino allow to use ICSP to load bootloader on the IC
chip
4 Provide USB hub and DC 5V
5 Support a lot of program such as: Adobe Flash, Max/MSP,
VVVV, Pure Data, C, ect….
Why Arduino?
Arduino simplify a lot of process of working with microcontroller,
the advantage of it are:
1.
Inexpensive – Arduino is relatively inexpensive
compared to other circuit. The cost can be lower than 50$
2.
Cross platform – Arduino support Window, Mac OSX
and Linux
3.
Extensible software
Extensible hardware-Arduino is based on Amel’s ATMEGA8 and ATMEGA168 microcontrollers.
