open-source electronics platform
Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O
board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring
language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or
can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing and MaxMSP).
The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source
IDE can be downloaded for free at https://arduino.cc
To report a bug in the software or to request a simple enhancement go to Github Issues
More complex requests and technical discussion should go on the Arduino Developers
mailing list
If you’re interested in modifying or extending the Arduino software, we strongly
suggest discussing your ideas on the
Developers mailing list
before starting to work on them.
That way you can coordinate with the Arduino Team and others,
giving your work a higher chance of being integrated into the official release
If you think you found a vulnerability or other security-related bug in this project, please read our
security policy and report the bug to our Security Team 🛡️
Thank you!

This repository contains just the code for the Arduino IDE itself.
Originally, it also contained the AVR and SAM Arduino core and libraries
(i.e. the code that is compiled as part of a sketch and runs on the
actual Arduino device), but those have been moved into their own
repositories. They are still automatically downloaded as part of the
build process and included in built releases, though.
The repositories for these extra parts can be found here:
Non-core specific Libraries are listed under: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/
(and also a few other places, see build/build.xml
).
The AVR core can be found at: https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-avr
Other cores are not included by default but installed through the
board manager. Their repositories can also be found under
https://github.com/arduino/.
Instructions for building the IDE and running unit tests can be found on
the wiki:
Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.
The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe
and David A. Mellis.
Arduino uses
GNU avr-gcc toolchain,
GCC ARM Embedded toolchain,
avr-libc,
avrdude,
bossac,
openOCD
and code from Processing
and Wiring.
