3. What is an Arduino? Definitions
“Arduino is an open source physical computing platform based on a simple input/output I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing language.” [1].
“Arduino is a family of microcontrollers (tiny computers) and a software creation environment that makes it easy for you to create programs (called sketches) that can interact with the physical world.” [2]
The Arduino is a small yet powerful computer board that uses physical computing techniques with an Atmel microcontroller(processing development environment and the C programming language.” [3]
