Every year, we take a moment to reflect on the contributions we made to the open source movement, and the many ways our community has made a huge difference. As we publish the latest Open Source Report, we are proud to say 2024 was another year of remarkable progress and achievements.

A year of growth and collaboration

At Arduino, we continued pushing the boundaries of open hardware and software. 

In 2024, we:

• Released our first-ever Arduino core based on Zephyr^®
• Developed seven new open-source hardware boards for a new product family – Modulino – already featured in Plug and Make Kit and Portenta Prototyping Kit
• Introduced many new official libraries, including Arduino_PowerManagement and Arduino_OPC_UA
• Launched Arduino Lab for MicroPython (for Mac and PC, as well as in Cloud version – all of them free) 
• Kept improving Arduino IDE 2, Arduino CLI, and more! 

These updates ensure a more flexible and robust ecosystem for developers, educators, and makers worldwide.

But what truly makes open source thrive is the community behind it! Over the past year, Arduino users contributed 1,198 new libraries to the Library Manager (+18% YoY growth!), shared hundreds of open-source tutorials, and actively engaged in thousands of discussions and collaborations on GitHub and Project Hub. These collective efforts fuel innovation, making the Arduino ecosystem more dynamic, inclusive, and powerful than ever.

How can you contribute to open source?

We believe open-source success is built on collaboration. Every original Arduino purchase, Arduino Cloud subscription, and community contribution helps support and expand this shared ecosystem. Donations of course are also welcome, and play a great part in everything we do!
