Arduino
The Arduino is a board that carries a micro-controller (MCU) which has the ability to "listen & talk" to the rest of the analog or digital world thru sensors and modules that you can add upon your needs. The "glue" between the Arduino, the sensors, the modules and the rest of the world is the program you load into the micro-controller. Without a program loaded, it is just a silly piece of equipment.
Actually, Arduino is a generic name for a vast and growing range of boards. I own several flavors of Arduino clones, some tiny, some bigger:
- UNO: the "standard" Arduino (ATmega328P MCU)
- Mega: its bigger brother (ATmega2560 MCU)
- Nano: a tiny board (ATmega328P MCU)
- Pro mini: a small board (ATmega328P MCU)
- Massduino: a tiny board ( (ATmega328P like MCU)
- Meduino Mega2560 R3 Pro Mini: a tiny board (ATmega2560 MCU)
- and probably a few others...
Their prices go from a mere 2€ to 30€ depending on the MCU, PCB form factor and supplier.
