What is Arduino

The Arduino project began at the Institute for Interaction Design Ivrea in Ivrea, northern Italy. Arduino was founded by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino and David Mellis. They built the first Arduino using a $100 BASIC Stamp microcontroller. Here is the Arduino team that gives hope to those new generations: In 2003, under the supervision of Hernando Barragán, Massimo Banzi and Casey Reas, he created the Wiring development platform as a master’s thesis project at IDII....

They designed these microcontrollers with the RISC command set on the modified Harvard architecture. Microcontrollers are 8-Bit and, as an exception, it produced in 32-bit models in a period. It is one of the most widely used microcontrollers in many embedded systems and especially in hobby circuits, and forms the basis of Arduino....
