What is platform for IoT
• An IoT platform is a multi-layer technology that enables
straightforward provisioning, management, and automation of
connected devices within the Internet of Things universe. It basically
connects your hardware, however diverse, to the cloud by using
flexible connectivity options, enterprise-grade security mechanisms,
and broad data processing powers. For developers, an IoT platform
provides a set of ready-to-use features that greatly speed up
development of applications for connected devices as well as take
care of scalability and cross-device compatibility.

Arduino platform - history
• The Arduino project was started at the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII) in Ivrea,
Italy.[2] At that time, the students used a BASIC Stamp microcontroller at a cost of $50,
a considerable expense for many students. In 2003 Hernando Barragán created the
development platform Wiring as a Master's thesis project at IDII, under the supervision
of Massimo Banzi and Casey Reas. Casey Reas is known for co-creating, with Ben Fry,
the Processing development platform. The project goal was to create simple, low cost
tools for creating digital projects by non-engineers. The Wiring platform consisted of
a printed circuit board (PCB) with an ATmega168 microcontroller, an IDE based on
Processing and library functions to easily program the microcontroller.[4] In 2005,
Massimo Banzi, with David Mellis, another IDII student, and David Cuartielles,
extended Wiring by adding support for the cheaper ATmega8 microcontroller. The new
project, forked from Wiring, was called Arduino.[4]
• The initial Arduino core team consisted of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe,
Gianluca Martino, and David Mellis.[2]
Arduino platform - history
• Arduino (/ɑːrˈdwiːnoʊ/) is an open-source
hardware and software company, project and user community that
designs and manufactures single-board
microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices. Its
hardware products are licensed under a CC-BY-SA license, while
software is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) or the GNU General Public License (GPL),[1] permitting
the manufacture of Arduino boards and software distribution by anyone.
Arduino boards are available commercially from the official website or
through authorized distributors.
Arduino platform - history
• The name Arduino comes from a bar in Ivrea, Italy, where some of
the founders of the project used to meet. The bar was named
after Arduin of Ivrea, who was the margrave of the March of
Ivrea and King of Italy from 1002 to 1014
Arduino platform - history
• The Arduino project began in 2005 as a tool for students at
the Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in Ivrea, Italy, aiming to
provide a low-cost and easy way for novices and professionals to
create devices that interact with their environment
using sensors and actuators. Common examples of such devices
intended for beginner hobbyists include
simple robots, thermostats and motion detectors.
