-The foundation of Energia and Arduino is the Wiring framework that is developed by Hernando Barragan.
-The framework is thoughtfully created with designers and artists in mind to encourage a community
-where both beginners and experts from around the world share ideas, knowledge and their collective experience.
-The Energia team adopts the philosophy of learning by doing and strives to make it easy to work directly with the hardware.
-Professional engineers, entrepreneurs, makers, and students can all benefit from the ease of use Energia brings to the microcontroller.

-Texas Instruments offers a MSP430, TM4C, C2000, and CC3200 LaunchPad.
-The LaunchPad is a low-cost microcontroller board that is made by Texas Instruments.
-The latest release of Energia supports the majority of the LaunchPad product offerings.

-Together with Energia, LaunchPad can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a variety of
-switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
-LaunchPad projects can be stand-alone (only run on the Target Board, i.e. your LaunchPad), or they can communicate
-with software running on your computer (Host PC).
