Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing and MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled. Arduino is a popular tool for IoT product development as well as one of the most successful tools for STEM/STEAM education. Hundreds of thousands of designers, engineers, students, developers and makers around the world are using Arduino to innovate in music, games, toys, smart homes, farming, autonomous vehicles, and more. Arduino is the first widespread Open Source Hardware project and was set up to build a community that could help spread the use of the tool and benefit from contributions from hundreds of people who helped debug the code, write examples, create tutorials, etc.
Features
- Allows you to write programs and upload them to your board
- Allows you to save your sketches in the cloud, having them available from any device and backed up
- You will always have the most up-to-date version of the IDE without the need to install updates or community generated libraries
- Remember that boards work out-of-the-box on the Web Editor, you only need to install Arduino Create Agent to get started
- Choose your board in the list provided to learn how to get started with it and how to use it on the Desktop IDE
- Open source and Arduino are all about sharing ideas, content, software and even hardware

It is a convenient and lightweight IDE with a board management module that is useful for coding and uploading code on board. This IDE is available for all popular operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS, and Linux. It has 700+ integrated libraries. Arduino community members wrote and shared that other users can use these libraries for their projects without installing anything. It also allows users to document their projects and keep track of their advancements.
