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 - read a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter
message - and turn it into an output – activating and controling a motor, turning on an LED.
 The following figure will show the Arduino boards

APPLICATIONS OF
ARDUINO:
 Home Automation
This application makes use of the Arduino Uno board, Bluetooth interface for connectivity, and
smartphones. Software loaded boards are connected to the home devices like lamps, A/C, TV,
Refrigerator, and Bluetooth software is interfaced with the board

Public Utility Automation

Applications to manage public utilities like street lighting, Dynamic traffic management systems are being implemented.
Street lighting Street lights are fitted with Arduino boards and sensors. The microcontroller is programmed to read the inputs
from the signal sent by the sensor on the light and temperature change and dynamically change the voltage supplied to the
lights and control the intensity of the light. This system can be used to switch on and switch off the light also. Dynamic traffic
Management Arduino controller along with infra-red sensors helps in managing the traffic dynamically. Input from the sensor
helps the controller to measure the volume of traffic and accordingly control the timing of signals as per the traffic flow
