Arduino provides open-source electronics prototyping platforms based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino prototyping platforms are intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments. Arduino's prototyping platforms can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of sensors and can affect their surroundings by controlling lights, motors, and other actuators. Arduino projects can be stand-alone or they can communicate with software running on a computer.

Arduino TinkerKit Development Kits
Arduino TinkerKit Development Kits include the Base Kit, Starter Kit, Pro Kit, Scuola Kit, Scuola Lab, and Android. TinkerKit simplifies electronic prototyping throughout a wide variety of sensors and actuators soldered on orange-colored boards that can be hooked up to the Arduino through the Sensor Shield and three-pin cables. A little signal amplifier helps to stabilize the signals running on the cables, ensuring clean analysis from the sensors even on long distances (1m-5m). TinkerKit was originally conceived for school teaching and museum exhibitions, and thus allows for the setup of interactive environments on the run without using a soldering iron or breadboard. The Arduino TinkerKit Development Kits are each a different pack of various TinkerKit modules, selected to help the user start designing interactive environments / prototype interfaces without using a breadboard or soldering iron.
Arduino A000064/65 Wireless Proto Shields
Arduino A000064/65 Wireless Proto Shields allow an Arduino board to easily connect with an RF Module, enabling wireless communication using external wireless modules. They are based on the Xbee® ZigBee® RF modules from Digi, but can use any Wireless module with the same footprint as XBee modules. Proto shield-connected modules can be used as serial/USB replacements or they can be put into command mode and configured for a variety of broadcast and mesh networking options. The shields break out each Xbee RF module pin to a through-hole solder pad for easy access. The A000064 comes without SD slot, while the A000065 does include an on-board SD card slot. Both shields include a switch allowing for control via USB or the microcontroller.
Arduino Mega Android™ Development Kit
Arduino Mega Android™ Development Kit is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega2560. It has a USB host interface to connect with Android-based phones, based on the MAX3421e IC. It has 54 digital input/output pins (of which 14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, 4 UARTs (hardware serial ports), a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. Similar to the Mega 2560 and Uno, the Arduino Mega Android Development Kit features an Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
Arduino AVR Nano Microcontroller Board
Arduino AVR Nano Microcontroller Board is small, complete, and breadboard-friendly, and is based on the ATmega328 (Arduino Nano 3.0). The Arduino AVR Nano Microcontroller Board works with a Mini-B USB cable, and can be powered via the Mini-B USB connection, a 6-20V unregulated external power supply (pin 30), or a 5V regulated external power supply (pin 27). The power source is automatically selected to the highest voltage source.
Arduino AVR Mini and Mini Lite Microcontroller Boards
Arduino AVR Mini and Mini Lite Microcontroller Boards are small boards based on the ATmega328 microcontroller, which are intended for use on breadboards and when space is limited. Arduino AVR Mini and Mini Lite Microcontroller Boards each have 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, and a 16 MHz crystal oscillator. They can be programmed with the Mini USB adapter or other USB or RS232 to TTL serial adapters.
Arduino Fio Microcontroller Board
Arduino Fio is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel ATmega328P MCU and is intended for wireless applications. The Arduino Fio runs at 3.3V operating voltage and 8MHz clock speed. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 8 analog inputs, an on-board resonator, a reset button, and holes for mounting pin headers. The on-board ATmega328P MCU has 32KB of Flash memory for storing code. It also has 2KB SRAM and 1KB EEPROM. This Arduino microcontroller board has connections for a Li-Polymer battery and includes a charge circuit over USB. An XBee socket is available on the bottom of the board. The Arduino Fio comes without pre-mounted headers, allowing the use of various types of connectors or direct soldering of wires. The user can upload sketches with an FTDI cable or Sparkfun breakout board. A user can also upload sketches wirelessly by using a modified USB-to-XBee adapter.
Arduino Uno Microcontroller Board
Arduino Uno is a microcontroller development board based on the Atmel ATmega328 MCU. The Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. This Arduino MCU board contains everything needed to support the microcontroller. Simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started. The Arduino Uno differs from all preceding boards in that it does not use the FTDI USB-to-serial driver chip. Instead, it features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter. The Arduino Uno MCU board can be powered via the USB connection or with an external power supply. The power source is selected automatically.
Arduino Mega2560 Microcontroller Board
