EMBEDDED ARDUINO MICROCONTROLLER

Arduino is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Over the years Arduino has been the brain of thousands of projects, from everyday objects to complex scientific insturments. There are many other microcontrollers available in the market for physical computing but these are more sophisticated and difficult to use. Arduino has simplify the process of working with microcontrollers.
