1f8ee788a64d60abd8f2d742a5fdedde054ecd910Torne (Richard Coles)Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o
27dbb3d5cf0c15f500944d211057644d6a2f37371Ben Murdochboard and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring
37dbb3d5cf0c15f500944d211057644d6a2f37371Ben Murdochlanguage. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or
47dbb3d5cf0c15f500944d211057644d6a2f37371Ben Murdochcan be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).
503b57e008b61dfcb1fbad3aea950ae0e001748b0Torne (Richard Coles)The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source
