Let me tell you guys, Arduino is not the new hardware. It was started in 2005 as a project for students user at Italy which is first placed to introduced the Arduino. As we all know by the history of how they were found the Arduino, they are consists many types of Arduino.

Based on my project title above, first thing first, I will explain the meaning of Arduino and a little thing about Arduino.
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.
Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on computer (eg: Flash, Processing , MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled the open-sourced IDE can be downloade for free.
The Arduino programming language is an implementation of Wiring, a similar physical computing platform, which is based on the Processing multimedia programming environment.
On the other hand, Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronic projects.Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board and a piece of software or IDE (integrated Development Environment) that runs the computers , used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board.
The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for a good reasons. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto the board. Which is can be simply use a USB cable. Aditionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++ and making it easier to learn a program. Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factors that breaks out the function of the micro-controller into a more accessible packages.
