Arduino
Arduino is an open source platform that applies simple software and hardware. You can get
it in a short even when you know little of it. It provides an integrated development
environment (IDE) for code editing and compiling, compatible with multiple control boards.
So you can just download the Arduino IDE, upload the sketches (i.e. the code files) to the
board, and then you can see experimental phenomena. For more information, refer to
http://www.arduino.cc.
Arduino Board – SunFounder Compatible
Arduino senses the environment by receiving inputs from many sensors, and affects its
surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators.
In this kit, SunFounder Nano board is used.
