Arduino is a single-board micro-controller to make using electronics in multidisciplinary projects more accessible. The hardware consists of an open-source hardware board designed around an 8-bit Atmel AVR micro-controller, or a 32-bit Atmel ARM. The software consists of a standard programming language compiler and a boot loader that executes on the micro-controller.

Arduino boards can be purchased pre-assembled or as do-it-yourself kits. Hardware design information is available for those who would like to assemble an Arduino by hand. It was estimated in mid-2011 that over 300,000 official Arduinos had been commercially produced.
