%X The success of the Arduino platform has made embedded
   programming widely
accessible. The Arduino has seen many
   uses, for example in rapid
prototyping, hobby projects, and
   in art installations. Arduino users are
often not
   experienced embedded programmers however, and writing
   correct
software for embedded devices can be challenging.
   This is especially
true if the software needs to use
   interrupts in order to interface with
attached devices. 
   Insight and careful discipline are required to
   avoid
introducing race hazards when using interrupt
   routines. Instead of
programming the Arduino in C or C++ as
   is the custom, we propose using
occam\-&pi; as a language as
   that can help the user manage the concurrency
introduced
   when using interrupts and help in the creation of
   modular,
well\-designed programs. This paper will introduce
   the Arduino, the
software that enables us to run occam\-&pi;
   on it, and a case study of an
environmental sensor used in
   an Environmental Science course.
