What is Arduino?

Officially, the Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform. And, technically, it is a programmable logic controller. The Arduino is like a little computer you can program to do things, and it interacts with the world through electronic sensors, lights, and motors.

Products in LurnBot.com support Arduino in different ways: some (e.g. Rokit Smart) use Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment) -you need to download IDE- for programming and some (e.g. Makeblock DIY Starter Kit) use its own app integrated with Arduino for programming - you don't need to download IDE.
