As the technology maker movement heats up, more and more people are starting to understand what Arduino is, but many are not very familiar with its origins and history. Today, I will guide everyone to deepen their understanding of Arduino step by step.
As shown in the figure below, Arduino is a type of convenient, flexible, and easy-to-use open-source electronic prototyping platform, which includes hardware (various models of Arduino boards) and software (Arduino IDE). It is not only suitable for engineers to quickly develop prototypes but also for artists, designers, enthusiasts, and anyone interested in “interactivity.” At the same time, it is almost an essential tool for modern makers.
The image showcases various interesting creations from the Arduino open-source community.
This is an open-source project using Arduino as the core and 3D printing as an auxiliary tool, along with the cute WALL-E and the super cool Iron Man helmet.
Massimo Banzi: How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination | TED Talk
We can listen to the founder, Massimo Banzi, evaluate Arduino, where everyone can feel the expectations he has placed on Arduino and the contributions to the open-source community, all of which are vividly reflected in the video.
The author has always emphasized that designing a software and hardware platform and making it open is intended to help students, teachers, makers, designers, and those who favor hardware to use it more easily. Simple, portable, open, and shared are synonymous with the author’s open-source philosophy.
The video also lists many interesting projects from the open-source community, introducing the advantages and benefits of open-source. As the author stated, the original circuit diagrams of early Arduino development boards were also directly posted on the official website, allowing countless enthusiasts and scholars to download and study for free, and to this day, it still maintains its original intention, which is rare in the current software industry; it lacks many tricks. Those interested can also support on the official website.
In the future, we will continue to guide everyone in-depth into the Arduino development platform and learning websites. If you are interested, feel free to follow us!
