[[Image:arduino.jpg|thumb|The Arduino board.]]

'''Arduino''' is an [[open-source]] physical computing platform based on a simple [[input/output|I/O]] board and a development environment that implements the [[Processing]]/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. [[Macromedia Flash]], [[Processing (programming language)|Processing]], [[Max (software)|Max/MSP]], [[Pure Data]]). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

The Arduino developer team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, David Mellis and Nicholas Zambetti.

==Arduino Hardware Versions==

The development team has released two versions of the Arduino to date:

*the standard serially programmable Arduino, with a DB9 serial connection, and

*the Arduino Extreme, which incorporates a USB interface for programing.

==Development Team==

The core Arduino developer team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, David Mellis and Nicholas Zambetti.

Arduino, in the spirit of [[Open source]] projects, is supported by hundreds and owned by no one.
