Ever wanted to feel like a mad-programming genius? Arduino gives you the opportunity by simulating and creating an interactive environment for individuals of all skill levels.<\/p>\n

History<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Arduino came into play in 2003 at the Interactive Design Institute Ivrea, Italy. The project was meant to provide a low-cost interactive way to simulate large scale projects. Wiring was the first board that was drafted consisting of a printed circuit board (PCB) and an ATmega168 microcontroller with some basic library functions. Now a 32-bit board, an ATmega328P, 14 Digital I\/O pins with a 5V operating voltage.<\/p>\n

Some simple projects can include LED lights and resistors. Making an LED light blink is one of the simplest projects one can do. Other projects can be creating a system where a house plant can \u201csing\u201d when touched, door alarms, pet feeders, and robots! As long as creativity exists, projects will flourish.<\/p>\n

Arduino soon became a hobby for many people of all skill levels not necessarily just engineers. Fun fact about the name Arduino, the 5 founders consistently met up at a bar in Ivrea, Italy called \u201cBar di Re Arduino\u201d so to honor the place of origin, Arduino became the namesake.<\/p>\n
