Hi all,
I'd like to learn about Arduino. anyway I have some knowledge about handling PIC. But i have no idea about Arduino.
So can anyone please help me to find learning materials on Arduino including following things.
1. what is Arduino
2. Programmer and other related hardware
3. Programming language and SDK
4. Few simple applications
Thank You

Arduino hardware is programmed using a Wiring-based language (syntax and libraries), similar to C++ with some slight simplifications and modifications, and a Processing-based integrated development environment.

Detailed description: http://arduino.cc/hu/Guide/Introduction
Arduino platform (hardware boars and software) is commonly used for learning purposes. It is common tool used mostly in universities that teach microcontrollers and robotics.
My recommendation is, if you know C programming and PIC, it is better to build your own hardware and program using MPLap probably with a superb compiler such HITECH C. You can get a nice PIC programmer/debugger and PIC Development Board from TRONIC.LK for a very reasonable price. Please tell them that you are from ROBOT.LK and they will help you out. Almost every popular PIC/dsPIC/Atmel microconotrller, SMD components, etc... are available with them as well. You can get their contact details from TRONIC.LK website.

Arduino is a popular open-source single-board microcontroller, descendant of the open-source Wiring platform, designed to make the process of using electronics in multidisciplinary projects more accessible. The hardware consists of a simple open hardware design for the Arduino board with an Atmel AVR processor and on-board input/output support. The software consists of a standard programming language compiler and the boot loader that runs on the board.1. what is Arduino

It is connected to PC with a USB interface and programmed directly thought the Arduino IDE.2. Programmer and other related hardware
Most similar to C++ with lot of pre-built libraries to ease the job3. Programming language and SDK
See http://arduino.cc/hu/Tutorial/HomePage4. Few simple applications

SevenZero , Thank you very much for your detailed answer
Re: Arduino Help
You can now buy Arduino deirectly from TRONIC.LK.
