 Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use
hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a
sensor, a finger on a button, turn it into an output - activating a motor,
turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board
what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the
board.

 The open-source Arduino
Software (IDE) makes it easy
to write code and upload it to
the board. It runs on
Windows, Mac OS X, and
Linux. The environment is
written in Java and based on
Processing and other open-
source software.

 A majority of systems we use rely on 5 V TTL Logic Levels. TTL is an
acronym for Transistor-Transistor Logic.

For any logic family, there are a number of threshold voltage levels to
know.

 VOH – Minimum OUTPUT Voltage level a TTL device will provide for
a HIGH signal.

VIH – Minimum INPUT Voltage level to be considered a HIGH.

VOL – Maximum OUTPUT Voltage level a device will provide for a

LOW signal.

VIL – Maximum INPUT Voltage level to still be considered a LOW.

The most noticeable difference is that the invalid region of voltages

is only between 1.5 V and 3.0 V
