Introduction
The project "Arduino" started in 2005 as a project focused on
students in theInstutIVREA (IDII), intalia)In those years, the
students used the microcontrollerBASIC Stamp, whose cost was $100USD,
a considerably high cost for an average student.
The name Arduino comes from a bar in Ivrea, Italy; where some of the
founders of the Arduino project used to meet. The bar is named 'Bar di '

What is Arduino?
It is an open hardware platform, based on a board with a
microcontroller and a development environment, designed to facilitate the use of the
electronics in projects of different disciplines.
The hardware consists of a board with Atmel AVR microcontrollers and ports.
input/output.
The most used microcontrollers are: Atmega168, Atmega328, Atmega1280 and
ATmega8 for its simplicity and low cost that allow the development of multiple
designs.
Arduino focuses on bringing closer and facilitating the use of electronics and programming.
embedded systems in multidisciplinary projects. The products that it sells

software for any individual.
What is it used for?
It can take information from the environment through its input pins of a whole
range of sensors and can affect what surrounds it by controlling lights,
motors and other actuators. It can be used to develop interactive objects
or it can be connected to computer software.
Theoretical framework
Arduino Uno
Standard plate, more recognized and more documented
100% compatible with the Duemilanove and Diecimila models
It has an Atmega328 microcontroller with 32 kbytes of ROM for the program.
