Artificial Intelligence & Advanced Technologies
Arduino
Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. It enables rapid prototyping of embedded systems, IoT devices, and interactive hardware projects using microcontrollers.
What is it?
Arduino is an open-source hardware and software ecosystem built around microcontroller boards and a simple programming environment. It is designed to make embedded development accessible to engineers, designers, and developers.
What does it do?
Arduino allows developers to read sensor data, control actuators, and build standalone or connected hardware systems. It supports serial communication, GPIO, analog/digital inputs, and integration with cloud and IoT platforms. Platforms such as Particle.io address the broader task of managing connected products, including device connectivity and cloud integration.
Where is it used?
Arduino is widely used in IoT prototypes, smart devices, robotics, industrial automation, educational projects, environmental monitoring, and hardware proof-of-concept systems.
When & why it emerged
Arduino was introduced in 2005 to simplify microcontroller programming and lower the barrier to hardware development. It emerged as a response to complex and expensive embedded systems tooling.
Why we use it at Internative
We use Arduino for rapid hardware prototyping and IoT proof-of-concept development. Adafruit provides hardware and sensors for this kind of prototyping. Its flexibility and extensive ecosystem allow us to quickly validate ideas and integrate hardware with software platforms.
