Arduino ======== * Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free at http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software * For more information, see the website at: http://www.arduino.cc/ or the forums at: http://www.arduino.cc/forum/ You can also follow Arduino on twitter at: https://twitter.com/arduino or like Arduino on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/official.arduino * To report a *bug* in the software or to request *a simple enhancement* go to: http://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues * More complex requests and technical discussion should go on the Arduino Developers mailing list: https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers * If you're interested in modifying or extending the Arduino software, we strongly suggest discussing your ideas on the Developers mailing list *before* starting to work on them. That way you can coordinate with the Arduino Team and others, giving your work a higher chance of being integrated into the official release https://groups.google.com/a/arduino.cc/forum/#!forum/developers Installation ------------ Detailed instructions are in reference/Guide_Windows.html and reference/Guide_MacOSX.html. For Linux, see the Arduino playground: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Learning/Linux Credits -------- Arduino is an open source project, supported by many. The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe and David A. Mellis. Arduino uses [GNU avr-gcc toolchain](http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/avr-gcc), [GCC ARM Embedded toolchain](https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded), [avr-libc](http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/), [avrdude](http://www.nongnu.org/avrdude/), [bossac](http://www.shumatech.com/web/products/bossa), [openOCD](http://openocd.org/) and code from [Processing](http://www.processing.org) and [Wiring](http://wiring.org.co).
