'''Arduino''' ({{IPAc-en|ɑː|r|ˈ|d|w|iː|n|oʊ}}) is an [[open-source hardware]] and [[open-source software|software]] company, project and user community that designs and manufactures [[single-board microcontroller]]s and [[microcontroller]] kits for building digital devices. Its hardware products are licensed under a [[Creative Commons license|CC-BY-SA license]], while software is licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License]] (LGPL) or the [[GNU General Public License]] (GPL),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.arduino.cc/en/guide/introduction<ref><ref><ref><ref><ref><ref><ref><ref></ref></ref></ref></ref></ref></ref></ref></ref>|title= Getting Started: FOUNDATION > Introduction |work=arduino.cc}}</ref> permitting the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone. Arduino boards are available commercially from the official website or through authorized distributors.

Arduino board designs use a variety of [[microprocessor]]s and controllers. The boards are equipped with sets of digital and analog [[input/output]] (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to various expansion boards ('shields') or [[breadboards]] (for prototyping) and other circuits. The boards feature serial communications interfaces, including [[Universal Serial Bus]] (USB) on some models, which are also used for loading programs from personal computers. The microcontrollers can be programmed using the [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]] [[programming language]]s, using a standard API which is also known as the "Arduino language". In addition to using traditional [[compiler]] [[toolchains]], the Arduino project provides an [[integrated development environment]] (IDE) and a command line tool ([https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli arduino-cli]) developed in [[Go (programming language)|Go]].
