Arduino: A Beginner's Guide

In 2005, Massimo Banzi and David Cuartielles created the Arduino board at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Italy to provide an easy-to-use and inexpensive platform for interactive art and design projects. They selected the AVR microcontroller and designed a self-contained circuit board that was simple to program using an integrated development environment. The Arduino board allows users to read sensor inputs and control outputs by running code on its microcontroller.

ARDUINO

In 2005, building upon the work of Hernando Barragán (creator of Wiring),


Massimo Banzi and David Cuartielles created Arduino, an easy-to-use
programmable device for interactive art design projects, at the Interaction
Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy. David Mellis developed the Arduino
software, which was based on Wiring. Before long, Gianluca Martino and
Tom Igoe joined the project, and the five are known as the original founders
of Arduino. They wanted a device that was simple, easy to connect to
various things (such as relays, motors, and sensors), and easy to program. It
also needed to be inexpensive, as students and artists aren’t known for
having lots of spare cash. They selected the AVR family of 8-bit
microcontroller (MCU or µC) devices from Atmel and designed a self-
contained circuit board with easy-to-use connections, wrote bootloader
firmware for the microcontroller, and packaged it all into a simple
integrated development environment (IDE) that used programs called
“sketches.” The result was the Arduino.

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-


use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs
– light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and
turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED,
publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by
sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.
