The Arduino microcontroller is used by students in ME2011 to control a robot. It is an open-source, small, single-board computer with analog and digital inputs and outputs. The programming language is a simple version of C. Code is developed on a personal computer (Windows/Mac/Linux) and downloaded to the board through a USB channel.
