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. 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 boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the software can be downloaded for free. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under an open-source license, you are free to adapt them to your needs.
http://www.arduino.cc/ - The Arduino homepage.
Freeduino began as a collaborative project to publish open-source Arduino-compatible production files. The files that resulted from this project allow users to create boards that are 100% functionally, electrically and physically compatible with Arduino hardware. Freeduino comes with a free and unrestricted license to use the Freeduino name, for any use. Since the name "Arduino" is a protected trademark, branding products as Freeduino allows users to build on the established knowledge and open-source licenses of the Arduino project without having to worry about trademark infringement. This means that you can take the files you find here, make products, brand them as Freeduino and sell them - or do whatever you want with them - without asking. While definitive policies for open-source hardware have not yet been developed, this 'freedom of use' policy is similar to the Open Source Initiative's Open Source Definition.

http://itp.nyu.edu/~gpv206/2008/04/making_the_most_of_arduino_mem.html - In order to make the most of Arduino memory, it is important to understand how much, and what type, of memory is available. The AVR Atmega 168 chips used in newer Arduinos have 16K of Flash program memory, used to store programs. (The older Atmega 8 has 8k.) There is 1K of RAM, used to store program variables during execution. This RAM is cleared when the power is switched off. There is 512 bytes of EEPROM, memory which can also be used to store data for programs, but which is retained even when power is turned off. Finally, it is possible to extend the memory of an Arduino project by using external memory.
