• Arduino is an open-source tool used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a micro-controller) and a development environment, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the board

If you're interested in modifying or extending the Arduino.org software, we would be very happy if you did it! If you want to integrate your work into the official release please create a pull request at : https://github.com/arduino-org/Arduino/compare/

If you're interested in collaborating please contact us!

Ready-to-run software and instructions are available on : http://www.arduino.org/downloads

Arduino.org IDE is at this time developed, maintained and supported by the Arduino.org team: support@arduino.org

Arduino.org is an open source project, developed by many and based on:

• The Arduino.cc IDE: http://www.arduino.cc/
• The Wiring project: http://www.wiring.org.co/
• The Processing project: http://processing.org

A special thanks to Daniela Antonietti, Hernando Barragán, David Cuartielles, Ben Fry, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, David A. Mellis, Massimo Banzi and Casey Reas for their works and inspirations.

Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring.
