What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform designed for beginners and professionals to easily create interactive projects. It consists of: Hardware – Programmable microcontroller boards (e.g., Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega). Software (IDE) – A simple coding environment based on C/C++. Community & Ecosystem – Thousands of free libraries, tutorials, and projects. Key Features of Arduino ✅ Easy to Use – No advanced electronics knowledge required. ✅ Plug-and-Play – Works with sensors, motors, displays, and more. ✅ Open-Source – Schematics & code are freely available. ✅ Cross-Platform – Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
