Arduino
Arduino is a physical computing platform and an open hardware standard used to build interactive electronic objects and standalone devices. It provides a C++ microcontroller IDE and an embedded systems framework for writing, compiling, and uploading code to microcontroller boards.
The ecosystem facilitates embedded systems programming and interactive hardware prototyping, allowing for the creation of devices that respond to environmental changes or user input. It enables the development of physical computing projects by managing the connection and flashing of code to various hardware boards.
The platform encompasses toolchains for transforming source code into machine-specific bytecode and hardware abstraction layers that standardize the control of pins and peripherals. It utilizes serial-based bootloader uploads to transfer binaries from a computer to the target hardware.
