One question that you may be asking about this software is why you should choose to go with the Arduino board instead of one of the other options that are available. There are quite a few programming languages and boards that you can use for your project, so picking the one that will make your project do amazing things can seem impossible. But Arduino is a bit different than the other boards on the market, and this can help make it the perfect choice.

When you get your Arduino board, you will notice that there are quite a few projects that you can do on this platform. First, it is really easy to work with the coding. If you have worked with the C++ language in the past, you will be able to pick up on the coding that is with Arduino in no time at all. Then when you are done writing the code, it will travel from your IDE which is on the computer, and then end up on the Arduino board that you purchased for that project. The board can sometimes do the project all on its own, such as turning it into a kind of game, or you can add it to one of your own personal electronic projects and really have some fun.

There are quite a few things that you will be able to do with your Arduino board, whether you want to try something new and have heard about these boards being able to help or you are just starting out, you will be able to work on some amazing projects with this board. The Arduino platform is really easy to learn so there isn’t a lot of technical knowledge that you are going to get stuck with as a beginner. It works well in a lot of electronic projects because it can make sounds, it can control a screen that is attached to it, it can do things with blinking lights, and so much more. We will discuss some of the projects later on, and you will be amazed at all of the cool things that you are able to do with this board.

You will also enjoy being able to use the Arduino board for some of your own personal needs. Many people who like to work on robotics and programming choose this kind of board because it offers a variety of ways to make some of their own projects. But this is not just something for experts; beginners often pick this board because it will help them to make some projects without having to learn a ton of coding. Sometimes, a beginner will have a great project he wants to work on or at least an idea of a project but may be worried that he won't be able to start it due to lack of the right programming knowledge. But Arduino is easy and simple enough for a beginner. 

Some of the other benefits of Arduino and why you should choose this platform compared to any of the others include:

• It can work on a variety of platforms: you will be able to download the IDE used for Arduino on pretty much any operating system that you want to use. This makes it great whether you are working on a Windows computer, a Mac, or the Linux operating system.
• Simple environment: unlike some of the other environments that you may have worked on in the past, the environment for Arduino is pretty simple to learn. It is similar to the C++ environment, but some people find that it is even easier to work with, making it perfect for the beginner.
• Open source: this is probably one of the biggest benefits of choosing the Arduino system. The board plans that you can use with this board are going to be published online and are open source. This is great because it encourages advanced programmers to make more plans for others to use and they can improve and enhance some of the plans that are already available. Beginners are going to enjoy this because it gives them the option to find some plans for their projects without all the hassle.
• Free: you may have to spend just a bit to purchase a new Arduino board for your project, but the IDE and the software that you need to make the project work will all be free. The code and the IDE will be free, so this saves a lot of time, hassle, and money when you first get started. The good news is that the boards don’t cost a lot of money, so you will be able to put your project together without spending a ton.
• Large community: one thing that beginners will like is that there are many other people using the Arduino system for their own projects. This means that there are quite a few forums and other places where you can talk to people working on projects similar to yours. You can easily find plans to follow, people to ask questions, and even tutorials to help you out. This large community is there to help you get going on the right track in no time. 

As a beginner, you will discover that there are so many things you will love about using Arduino. It is so simple, it is easy to find the plans that you want, and you will be able to get the projects done without spending a lot of time and money in the process.

While we have spent some time on all the great benefits that come with the Arduino board, it is important to realize that there are a few limitations that come with this board. For example, you won’t be able to find a lot of processing power so if your project is considered pretty intensive, you will need to find a different kind of platform to work with. This means that you won’t be able to work on projects that include recording, video, or audio, but you can attach a simple screen to the project for some of your needs.

Some beginners get the Arduino board confused with a computer board, but there are few differences. You won’t be able to hook up some things to the board, such as a keyboard or a webcam, so you will find that there are a few limitations that come with your project. Sometimes the confusion comes because there are some similarities between the Arduino board and the Raspberry Pi, which is a product that looks the same but can take on some of these other capabilities. The Arduino board can enhance and help out with some of our own electronics and robotics projects, but you cannot use it as part of your computer or turn it into your own personal computer.
