Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software.

It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

What are Phidgets?

Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC.

Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API).

Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, LabView, Java, Delphi, C, C++ and you can now use AppleScript to control Phidgets!
