Introduction to Arduino
In this module we are going to learn about Arduino, which is an open source platform used for prototyping and making projects. There is already a lot of information available online for Arduino based projects.

Arduino consists of two parts:

1. A programmable hardware called Arduino Board 

There are various types of arduino boards to choose from. Depending on your requirement for the project you can select the arduino board. Below are the few examples of the Arduino board.

1.1 Arduino Uno will be used for this course. We will be learning about the board little later.

1.2 Arduino Lilypad is designed to be integrated within e-textiles and wearables projects.

1.3 Arduino Mega is used for the project that requires more input/ output pins. It is used in projects such as 3D printers or robotics.
