Arduino

Arduino is an Open source technology is the backbone of today’s IT industry. Arduino is a low-cost MCU platform that can create easily designed electronics and homemade projects ranging from simple models to robots and satellites. The platform is free for developers worldwide hence the work of other engineers can be leveraged to make our work easy.

With an unlimited spectrum of input and output add-ons like sensors, indicators, displays, motors etc. this hardware is a boon for hobbyists and engineers to create devices that can interact with the real world.

It a small chip based on an architecture with support for embedded applications, such as measuring device, security systems, robotics, remoter control applications, scrolling message display, etc. Training emphasis is given to applied knowledge of the principles by exposing the students to live working projects.
