Rui CarmoEasily the most well-known family of microcontrollers these days, which effectively kickstarted an entire wave of DIY electronics and Maker activities.
Although a bit limited and bulky by today’s standards, the Arduino compiler and IDE became a common staple of DIY electronics and Maker activities.
