-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.
+The open-source Arduino Software (IDE) makes it easy to write code and upload
+it to the board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The environment
+is written in Java and based on Processing and other open-source software.
+This software can be used with any Arduino board.
-Arduino can sense the environment by receiving input from a variety of
-sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors,
-and other actuators. The microcontroller on the board is programmed
-using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino
-development environment (based on Processing). Arduino projects can be
-stand-alone or they can communicate with software on running on a
-computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP).

-The open-source Arduino environment makes it easy to write code and
-upload it to the i/o board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. The
-environment is written in Java and based on Processing, avr-gcc, and
-other open source software.
