Arduino, is an open-source computer hardware and software company, project and user community that designs and manufactures microcontroller-based kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control the physical world. the project is based on a family of microcontroller board designs manufactured primarily by smart projects in italy, and also by several other vendors, using various 8-bit atmel avr microcontrollers or 32-bit atmel arm processors. these systems provide sets of digital and analog i/o pins that can be interfaced to various expansion boards ("shields") and other circuits. the boards feature serial communications interfaces, including usb on some models, for loading programs from personal computers. for programming the microcontrollers, the arduino platform provides an integrated development environment (ide) based on the processing project, which includes support for c, c++ and java programming languages. in this project we are going to utilise this amazing programmable device and use it to make an location recorder and analyser.
