7 unusual facts about Arduino


Arduino

(When used with traditional microcontroller tools instead of the Arduino IDE, standard AVR ISP programming is used.)

Arduino started in 2005 as a project for students at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy.

Becky Stern

Her work combines traditional crafts like embroidery, knitting & jewelry-making with physical computing technologies like Arduino.

Boniface of Valperga

He was educated at home and subsequently by his uncle Arduino, Bishop of Turin.

Brood II

It encouraged listeners to use a mix of Arduino-based tools to report the underground soil temperature so as to predict when the cicadas would appear.

Microbridge

Microbridge is a software stack that allows for communication between an Android mobile phone and an Arduino micro controller using the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) interface.

National Computer Science School

Four groups develop a website using Python and other web technologies, while two groups develop embedded software for Arduino in its C-like language.


General-purpose input/output

Embedded applications (for example, Arduino, BeagleBone, and Raspberry Pi) make heavy use of GPIO for reading from various environmental sensors (IR, video, temperature, 3-axis orientation, and acceleration), and for writing output to DC motors (via PWM), audio, LCD displays, or LEDs for status.

Lasersaur

In v12.11 and later, a custom board called "DriveBoard" contains an ATmega328 SoC computer (replacing the Arduino) and all of the drive electronics with the exception of the two GeckoDrive modules and a BeagleBone embedded Linux computer which are attached to it.

Microbridge

Using Microbridge with an Arduino and Arduino USB Host Shield allows for actuation of Servos, DC Motors, and allows for PWM communication, among other uses, through and Android phone.

Plotly

Plotly provides online graphing, analytics, a Python command line, and stats tools for individuals and collaboration, as well as scientific graphing libraries for Python, R, MATLAB, Perl, Julia, Arduino, and REST.
