##Arduino Ciao (CPU/MIPS side) Simple but effective library in Python to make MCU communicate with "outside World".

###What is Arduino Ciao?

Arduino Ciao is a easy-to-use and powerful technology that enables Arduino sketches to communicate intuitively with the "outside World". It aims to simplify interaction between microcontroller and Linino OS allowing a variety of connections with most common protocols, third-party services and social networks.

Arduino Ciao is open-source and distributed under MIT license: feel free to read it, suggest improvements, provide feedbacks and develop new features.

###Arduino Ciao (CPU/MIPS side) - Ciao Core

Arduino Ciao is made of two main parts:

• the Ciao Library - usable inside sketches, it''s written in C (source code available here)
• the Ciao Core - a library developed in python that runs on the CPU/MIPS side of the board.

Ciao Core has been developed to be largely configurable and modular: everyone can develop new modules (we call them connectors) to allow the MCU to interact with new network protocols, third-party services or platforms.

Details about Ciao Core architecture are available in the Arduino wiki
