What is an Arduino?

    The Arduino is an open-source microcontroller, housing a tiny, integrated computer with features such as a processing core, memory, and input/output peripherals It is capable of controlling many different components such as lights, displays, motors, sensors, and speakers.
    The Arduino is arguably the most popular hobbyist development boards on the market. With that comes many additional features and expansions. Such expansions include: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, motor drivers, LCD displays, cellular, Ethernet, MIDI, and much more. Its main features (Arduino Uno) are listed below:
    • Digital I/O
    • Analog-In
    • PWM
    • Voltage Supply
    • Serial I/O
    • USB Type-B
    • DC Power Connector
    You can discover more about the Arduino from the official website Arduino.cc.

    C and C++ are the main languages used to develop applications on the Raspberry Pi. C is a general-purpose programming language that works well for machine instructions. C++ is a derivative of C that comes with performance improvements. There are copious resources online to help you learn programming using these languages.
    The Arduino offical website hosts a comprehensive list of structures and functions used when writing software for the Arduino.
