WHAT IS ARDUINO
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It’s designed to make digital electronics more accessible to beginners, hobbyists, students, and even professionals. ๐ What Exactly Is Arduino? At its core, Arduino is: A microcontroller board (like Arduino Uno, Mega, Nano, etc.) Arduino IDE (software) to write and upload code to the board You write code (called "sketches") in a simplified version of C/C++ using the Arduino IDE, then upload it to the board via USB. ๐ ️ What Can You Do with Arduino? Arduino can read inputs —like light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a tweet—and turn it into an output —like turning on an LED, spinning a motor, or posting data online.
