Arduino was introduced into the market by a group of Engineers under the umbrella of Banzi Massimo, an Italian citizen in the year 2005. This was as a result of his desire to create a platform to enable engineers create and simulate hardware projects more easily and with least cost. Since then other companies have been coming up with Arduino clones compatible with the original one but with minor variations. If you are searching for an original Arduino package, make sure it bears the name Arduino with the two-eyed symbol labelled + and -. Maybe one can inquire form the original company itself in Italy. It is with high regard to highlight the fact that Arduino currently is available in various board shapes as discussed in the next section.In this book you will learn all about Arduino Programming from A-Z!
