Open source technologies, a term every software nerd is aware, but have you ever thought, why software should get all the "open source" stake and why not hardware part of it can be. Create time, to change, because his is an open source electronics prototyping platform, based on flexible, easy to use hardware and software already there Arduino and more about you of not only for electrical engineer or PCB designer Cup of tea, but if you want part of it can be the concept, artists, designers, hobbyists and all interested in interactive objects or environments.
Arduino is a cost-effective and complete open source-hardware platform prototyping it PCB Board layout on the boot loader to the standard libraries to the IDE and other development tools and even most of its extensions or shields, open source.
Interestingly Arduino comes with pretty good Arduino Foundation tutorial and examples to help in the same way as we all famous software documentation and tutorial, like most programming languages that prints the first program of tutorials "Hello World", on the screen.Because an Arduino board has a screen, it has very first example in his tutorial how to activate a LED and clear.
The best part for open-source-Ness is Arduino boards are built by hand can or one can buy it skip available pre-mounted in almost every corner of the world including India and the software to run it can be scanned.the hardware reference designs (CAD files) are downloaded for free under an open source license available.
