Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on simple, user-friendly hardware and software, designed to make electronics accessible to a wide range of users, from beginners to advanced professionals. The platform consists of a physical programmable circuit board, often referred to as a microcontroller, and a software component called the Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The IDE is used to write and upload code to the board. Programs for Arduino are written in a language based on C/C++, but it also uses a simplified Arduino library that makes creating interactive projects much easier.
The platform's hardware comes in various models, each featuring different specifications, like the Arduino Uno, Arduino Mega, and others. These boards can be connected to sensors, actuators, motors, and other components, making them suitable for building anything from simple LED light displays to sophisticated IoT applications
