What is Arduino ?

Arduino boards are open-source electronics platforms based on easy-to-use hardware and software. They are widely used by hobbyists, students, and professionals to create interactive projects and prototypes.

These boards are equipped with microcontrollers that can be programmed using the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment). The flexibility and simplicity of Arduino make it an excellent choice for various applications, from simple LED blinking projects to complex robotics and IoT (Internet of Things) devices.

Our Mission & Vision

Arduino`s mission is to enable anyone to enhance their lives through accessible electronics and digital technologies. There was once a barrier between the electronics, design, and programming world and the rest of the world. Arduino has broken down that barrier.

Over the years, our products have been the brains behind thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific instruments. A worldwide community, comprising students, hobbyists, artists, programmers, and professionals, has gathered around this open-source platform, their contributions adding up to an incredible amount of accessible knowledge.

Our vision is to make Arduino available to everyone, whether you are a student, maker or professional, which is why we now have three segments to our business. These segments work together as an ecosystem with a shared mindset: we started with Maker, and that has evolved into Education and PRO solutions.

Downloads

The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload it to the board. This software can be used with any Arduino board.

Refer to the Arduino IDE 1.x documentation for installation instructions.
