What is Arduino?
Below you can see a picture of Arduino Uno. It’s an open source based micro controller for many things to do.
There are 14 digital in/outputs, from wich 6 can be used as PWM (pulse with modulation, marked in the board with ~). Find those in the picture or from Arduino on the table.
If you want to know, what PWM means, check this 3 minutes video.
There’s also 6 analog inputs, 16 MHz oskillator, ICSP-port, a reset button, USB- and power source.

Starting to use Arduino is easy: you download and install the enviroment from internet for free (Win, Mac, Linux), you plug Arduino to PC with usb and you are ready!
Price: about 15-30 euros.
TASK: Get the Arduino board and USB-cable and plug Arduino into computer.
