wHAT?

An Arduino is a microcontroller 

roughly comparable to the on-board computer 

on the Apollo 11 lander. 

It is useful for connecting to 

low-level electronic components, 

which allows you to "hack" the real world.

Open Hardware


Inexpensive Hardware


With Lots of Variety



The 'Easy' Button

Programmed With Open Source 

Software

Processing - graphical programming
Arduino - the hardware
Wiring - the software
Fritzing - the circuits
Energia - Wiring for TI Launchpad boards

Two major Subroutines
