What is Arduino?

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs — light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message — and turn it into an output — activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online.

What is the software need for programming?

IDE

The Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a cross-platform application (for Windows, macOS, and Linux) that is written in the Java programming language. It originated from the IDE for the languages Processing and Wiring. It includes a code editor with features such as text cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting, brace matching, and syntax highlighting, and provides simple one-click mechanisms to compile and upload programs to an Arduino board. It also contains a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions and a hierarchy of operation menus.

Arduino Projects

Bluetooth Controlled Car

This is my first Arduino-based, Bluetooth-controlled RC car. It is controlled by a smart phone application. This car is controlled by smart Phone

Smart Dust Bin

This bin is open when somebody come closer to it . It is sensed by Ir Sensor using arduino.This is my first Arduino Dust Bin.

I made this using Ir sensor and Arduino Board.
