Arduino is an open source electronics prototype platform. It is based on flexible, easy to use hardware and software. The Arduino platform is meant to be utilized by artists, designers, hobbyists, anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. It is a tool for making computers that can sense and even control more of the physical world than a normal desktop computer.
