Arduino: turning non-nerds into robot-makers
1 year, 6 months ago by: kirstendirksen staff comments
The Arduino- an affordable, open source microcontroller board- has been touted as connecting the real world to your computer. To get an idea of what that means, here is just a sample of sustainability-related projects created by the Arduino community:
- Battery life extender
- DIY Water meter
- Tweeting, self-watering garden system
- GardenBot
- Open energy monitor
- Sun-tracking solar panel
In this video, we talk to Arduino co-founder Massimo Banzi about the power of the Arduino, how it’s “not for nerds” and how it was kept alive by the fact that it was open source.
