Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform consisting of both hardware and software. The hardware is a microcontroller board that contains a whole computer on a small chip. The software is an integrated development environment used to write code for the board. As an open-source project, the design files, schematics, and source code are freely available for anyone to use or modify. This allows users to easily customize the Arduino platform for a wide variety of applications.
2. ARDUINO | OPEN SOURCE
The term "open source" refers to something that can be modified because its design
software schematic is publicly accessible.
Open source projects, products, or initiatives are those that embrace and celebrate open
exchange, collaborative participation, rapid prototyping, transparency, meritocracy, and
community development.
ARDUINO is open source so the design files, schematics, and source code are freely available to
everybody. Not only does this mean that you can more easily hack the Arduino to serve a very particular
function, but you can also even integrate the Arduino Ecosystem Platform.

ARDUINO | INTRODUCTION
Arduino is a tool for making computers that can sense and control more of the physical
world than your desktop computer.
It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a
simple microcontroller board and a development environment
for writing software for the board.
The best part about the Arduino prototyping platform is that its
whatever you want it to be. The Arduino could be an automatic
plant-watering control system. It can be a web server, otherwise
it can be quadcopter autopilot.
The Arduino board is a microcontroller board, which is a small circuit (the board) that contains a
whole computer on a small chip (the microcontroller).
