| Everybody loves [[https://www.arduino.cc|Arduino]]. It has broken the boundaries of the closed circle of Electronics Engineering and has brought micro-controller based automation closer to education, art, telecommunications and other disciplines. Even for the hard-core electronics engineers who had been working in the automation field since the 1980's, Arduino brought an abundance of sensors, libraries, support software and even more, very inexpensive hardware that can be purchased from several suppliers around the world. | Everybody loves [[https://www.arduino.cc|Arduino]].

| - | But along with the spread of knowledge, comes a "broadening" of the accuracy that we use certain terms. I have heard people and read articles using the terms ''"Arduino"'', ''"ATmega"'', ''"IoT"'' and even ''"MCU"'' to mean the exact same thing. In projects where a micro-controller can be used to provide a solution, I hear //"just drop in an Arduino and make it work"//. Even more, some people have come to expect that using an Arduino will skip all effort for designing, building and testing, making a new product available the next day. | + | But along with the spread of knowledge, comes a "broadening" of the accuracy that we use certain terms. I have heard people and read articles using the terms ''"Arduino"'', ''"ATmega"'', ''"IoT"'' and even ''"MCU"'' to mean the exact same thing. In projects where a micro-controller can be used to provide a solution, I hear from non-experts //"just drop in an Arduino and make it work"//, forgetting that the selection of the proper MCU for the job requires special technical skills, and even financial and logistics skills in some cases. Even more, some people have come to expect that using an Arduino will skip all effort for designing, building and testing, making a new product available the next day. |
