Arduino is an open-source hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices. Arduino's mission is to make electronics accessible to everyone, from hobbyists and students to professionals and industrial designers.

The company offers a wide range of products, including boards, shields, kits, and accessories, all of which are designed to be easy to use and highly customizable. Arduino's software, including the integrated development environment (IDE), is also open source and free to use.

Models

Uno

An Arduino Uno clone from Creation Crate.

The Uno is one of the most popular models, and it's great for planning and testing before creating a new project. It features a microcontroller with 14 digital input/output pins, 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, and more. Arduino Uno Pinout
