Arduino-based projects can either include only Arduino or Arduino and other device running with a compatible OS. Programming for Arduino is done through the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing). The microcontroller on the board can be programmed in Arduino’s programming language, compiled into a binary file, and hardcoded into the microcontroller.
The program will tell the Arduino board what to do.Īrduino can sense the environment through a variety of sensors, feedback and influence the environment by controlling lights, motors, and other electronic devices. Just write the program code in the IDE and upload the program to the Arduino board. There are two main parts: the hardware part which is the Arduino board that can be used for circuit connection The other is the Arduino IDE, the program development environment. It is built on the open-source simple I/O interface and has a Processing/Wiring development environment similar to Java and C programming. Arduino was developed in late of 2005 and it has been used in the development of various electronic programs ever since. It includes hardware (various models of Arduino board) and software (Arduino IDE) components. Arduino is an easy-to-use open-source electronics prototyping platform.
