Arduino

Today we were introduced to Arduino by Lee Nutbeam. Arduino is made by the same people that created Processing (view my work for IDAT102 for more information). It is free software and its interface and language is very similar to Processing. Once you've used the software to write your code you can then use it with the Arduino boards. Arduino boards are devices with which people can create interactive objects or environments. Below is an example of one.



These can be used to make things such as an LED turn off and on which is what we experimented with in the session.
