Arduino 101

Good time lectors, this is the first topic to Let's Arduine, and to start with our operations, lets explain what is Arduino.
Arduino is an open-source project, which means that everyone is able to use it and replicate it, born in Italy, it is a prototyping platform based of hardware and software characterized by its easy-to-use language based on C++.


The Arduino is used to read inputs, which are bits of information that go from our world into the Arduino, and use them to make outputs, which are lines of code that control multiple devices that can be connected to the Arduino.

Arduino UNO (R3)
There are many types of arduino boards, even without counting the ones that are unofficial, some of them are:

  • Arduino UNO
  • Arduino MEGA
  • Arduino MICRO
  • Arduino NANO
  • Arduino LILYPAD
Every one of them haves its own uses, which can go from little smartwatches to wereable devices, and depending on what your ideas are, it is the Arduino you can select.

Another strong point of the Arduino is that its components and devices are cheap, some of them are movement sensors, displays, leds and motors, between more and more of them.

This is the basis of what we are going to see in this blog in the next publications, so, stay connected and prepared to read the next post of Let's Arduine.
