Abstract
A microcontroller like an Arduino is not quite a computer like the Mac, Windows, or Linux machine you are used to. Microcontrollers typically control something that is not overly complicated. Although there are ways around it, normally they just execute one set of instructions over and over, and cannot switch back and forth between several programs or apps the way your laptop or smartphone can. However, this capability is plenty to run your item of clothing.
