The ease of programming from the Arduino IDE and on-chip bootloader coupled with the flexibility of the shield boards compared to the relatively small prototyping area found on previous boards proved to be a hit, and the years since have seen an ever-increasing range of official successors. It featured an ATmega8 microcontroller in what is now a familiar form factor with its I/O lines brought out to a set of headers designed to accept expansion boards known as ‘shields’.
They created a fork of Wiring ported to the inexpensive Atmel ATmega line of microcontrollers, and the hardware they evolved became the ancestor of today’s Arduino boards.
They were lucky: they had the Wiring platform that had been the work of their fellow student Hernando Barragán to work with, a simple-to-use open-source integrated development environment and microcontroller board. In the early 2000s, as a reaction to the limitations of previous simple microcontroller boards, a group of Italian postgraduate students and a lecturer at the Interaction Design Institute in Ivrea came together to create the first version of what would become the Arduino project.
