Rise of inexpensive hardware platforms
2003: Arduino becomes first open-source hardware/software platform for hobbyists and non-engineers.
2012: Raspberry Pi becomes first $35 Linux-based SBC
Open-source Arduino design leads to development of expansion module “shields” that provide sensor, actuation, and communication functionality.
