• OpenPLC is an effort to implement a robust and industry standard PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) keeping in the spirit of Open Source Hardware (OSHW) and Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). OpenPLC builds upon the Arduino platform.

• Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free.

• For more information, see the website at: http://www.arduino.cc/ or the forums at: http://arduino.cc/forum/

The OpenPLC IDE is based on the Arduino IDE. All installation instructions should be same as that of installing Arduino.

Arduino is an open source project, supported by many.

The Arduino team is composed of Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, Gianluca Martino, Daniela Antonietti, and David A. Mellis.

Arduino uses the GNU avr-gcc toolchain, avrdude, avr-libc, and code from Processing and Wiring.
