[[File:The first Arduino.jpeg|thumb|The first prototype<ref name="kushner" />]]
The Arduino project was started at the [[Interaction Design Institute Ivrea]] (IDII) in [[Ivrea]], Italy.<ref name="kushner" /> At that time, the students used a [[BASIC Stamp]] [[microcontroller]] at a cost of $50. In 2004, [[Hernando Barragán]] created the development platform ''[[Wiring (development platform)|Wiring]]'' as a Master's thesis project at IDII, under the supervision of Massimo Banzi and [[Casey Reas]]. Casey Reas is known for co-creating, with Ben Fry, the [[Processing]] development platform. The project goal was to create simple, low cost tools for creating digital projects by non-engineers. The Wiring platform consisted of a [[printed circuit board]] (PCB) with an [[ATmega]]128 microcontroller, an IDE based on Processing and library functions to easily program the microcontroller.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Barragán |first=Hernando |date=2016-01-01 |title=The Untold History of Arduino |url=https://arduinohistory.github.io |access-date=2016-03-06 |website=arduinohistory.github.io}}</ref> In 2005, Massimo Banzi, with David Mellis, another IDII student, and David Cuartielles, extended Wiring by adding support for the cheaper ATmega8 microcontroller. The new project, forked from Wiring, was called ''Arduino''.<ref name=":0" />

As of February 2020, the Arduino community included about 30 million active users based on the IDE downloads.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Emilio |first=Maurizio Di Paolo |date=2020-02-04 |title=Open-source HW in the Modern Era: Interview of Arduino's CEO Fabio Violante |url=https://www.eetimes.eu/open-source-hardware-in-the-modern-era-interview-of-arduinos-ceo-fabio-violante/ |access-date=2020-06-23 |website=EE Times Europe |language=en-US}}</ref>
