Why Arduino?
Compared to other platforms, Arduino is an opensource and free of cost to use it. we can easily download it from the internet and use it.
it has many libraries and project available in the internet that can be accessed easily.
it has its own development environment called Arduino IDE, which is used for programming the development boards easily.
Software
Ardiono has it open-source IDE that can be used free for all. Using this IDE we are able to write programs for developing Arduino or other embedded projects.
using this IDE we can easily boot the programs to the development boards. it has a serial monitor to the data and readings captured by thhee development board.
Hardware
