Arduino is an open-source electronics platform: it combines simple hardware (microcontrollers) and software (IDE) for building interactive digital devices.

Arduino is the premier open-source electronics prototyping platform: it makes physical computing accessible to everyone (artists, makers, engineers). The system centers on a programmable circuit board, like the popular Uno model, which typically features an 8-bit ATmega328P microcontroller, 14 digital I/O pins, and a 16MHz clock speed. Users write code (called 'sketches') in the C/C++-based Arduino IDE, then upload it via USB to the board. This allows the board to read inputs (sensors, buttons) and control outputs (LEDs, motors, displays), bridging the gap between the digital and physical worlds for countless projects since its 2005 launch.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [Winners Don't Settle](https://hong-kong.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_QPd3cm59vT8)

This talk shares the journey of building Cresento, a sports tech startup transforming grassroots football through AI-powered wearables. I’ll explore how we engineered smart shin pads embedded with motion sensors and GPS, and trained AI models to deliver real-time coaching, performance feedback, and talent discovery tools—directly to amateur athletes. This is not just a hardware project—it’s an AI platform empowering the next generation of football talent through data-driven insights and automated training recommendations. Attendees will get a behind-the-scenes look at how we built the AI Coach system, turned raw sensor data into actionable insights, and created a feedback loop between athlete movement and skill improvement.
