WHAT IS ARDUINO?
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, or a
Twitter message - and turn it into an
output - activating a motor, turning on
an LED, publishing something online.
HOW CODE WORKS
The Arduino board is connected to
a computer via USB, where it
connects with the Arduino
development environment (IDE).
The user writes the Arduino
code in the IDE, then uploads it to
the microcontroller which executes
the code, interacting with inputs
and outputs such as sensors,
motors, and lights.
