Hi all
Is arduino good for real professinal projects from the "real" world , or is it a learning tool ?

Depends if you think projects like these are 'real world' or not.

To which the logical answer is "yes".
Also depends on your idea of professional
idk if I would consider wires plugged into a arduino board as professional, more a developmental step where the end result is a custom pcb with the atmega328 and just the required components all nice and neat
then again you can put all of it in a professional looking box and call it a day and nobody would know the wiser, just " hey look at that neat box that does all this cool stuff" lol
Makerbot Thing-o-Matics look pretty professional, and they basically just stick a shield on a Mega and hide it all under the covers. A lot of the Arduino powered UAVs look quite good too, and are being evaluated and used in many professional areas - Police, Firefighters, Armed Forces.
Stuff I have done:-

But I have also used them to create test equipment for my paid day job, so has my son, so that is professional isn't it.
Or do you mean just what commercial products contain an ATmega 328 chip? No one will use an Arduino board like a UNO inside a piece of consumer electronics.
Real current project: Ni/H LENR reactor controller using Arduino Mega2560 to:
- automate reactor start-up sequence
- automate power output adjustment
- automate normal reactor shutdown sequence
- monitor reactor temperature
- monitor reactor pressure
- monitor Geiger-Müller detector events
- display current operating parameters and conditions
- log all of the above for off-line analysis
- exercise control of reaction rate
- perform automatic emergency shutdown
Thanks
I see the picture .
Very happy your answers made me .
