Arduino microcontroller board

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It was originally created at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Italy as a tool for fast prototyping, aimed at students without a background in electronics and programming.

Today, Arduino is a global leader in microcontroller technology, serving a community of makers, educators, and industrial professionals. While the brand has expanded its manufacturing footprint to include facilities in various regions to meet global demand, the majority of official high-quality boards continue to be manufactured in Italy. Ownership and management of the brand are housed under Arduino S.r.l. and Arduino Foundation, maintaining its commitment to open-source innovation.
