The Arduino Due is a microcontroller board based on the Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU with 84 MHz tank frequency. This makes it the first Arduino development board with a 32-bit architecture. It has 54 digital inputs and outputs, 12 analog inputs, four serial interfaces and a micro-USB connector. The necessary components for programming and operating the microcontroller are available on the board. Simply connect the board to your PC and develop exciting applications. Power can be supplied via Micro-USB, an external power supply or batteries.

Arduino is an open source physical computing platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. The goal of this platform is to enable artists, designers, hobbyists and other interested parties to create interactive objects. Sensors and microcontrollers are used to make analog inputs available to software applications and/or to control electromechanical devices such as motors, servos, LEDs or other hardware.
