It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring ) and the Arduino deve lopmen t environment (based on Processing ). Arduino projects can be stand-a lone or they can communicate with software on running on a computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). http://www.pachube.com /
