Overview
Arduino is an Italian Open-source hardware and software company founded in 2005, producing microcontroller boards widely used in robotics, IoT, and maker projects. Founded by Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis, the company regained 100% ownership by original founders after resolving a corporate dispute.
