Today we’ll expand Arduino’s digital resources thanks to an I2C bus equipped shield and we’ll allow the management of the board via a bluetooth connection RN-42 through an Android systems. All Arduino boards feature a number of digital I/Os. For the simplest projects, such resources are usually more than sufficient, but in those where they…
Arduino launches an amazing beta program for Arduino TRE developers. Giving the novelty of the board and of the approach I think it’s a great opportunity for you to experiment and give feedback! We are excited to announce that starting today a limited batch of 50 Arduino TRE Developer Edition boards is available in the Arduino…
It’s already several years that we talk about open source software, as a winning approach. By now, even the most conservative CTO, or the slowest public organizations agreed to give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s: open source software is generally more mature and malleable, it can be tweaked and adapted more easily, it keeps…
Big news at Maker Faire Bay Area: a new Arduino board, jointly developed with Atmel comes to life to power the next generation of IoT development with the ease of Arduino: Arduino Zero is a simple, elegant and powerful 32-bit extension of the platform established by Arduino UNO. The Zero board aims to provide creative individuals with the…
During the months spent developing OpenWheels, we worked hard to achieve a firmware that was both functional and fast. We used float type variables only when it was strictly necessary and we implemented a system interrupt to manage, with the right timing, the stabilization operations. We did not skimp on protection systems and diagnostic messaging…
We receive this great news directly from the Arduino team…don’t lose the opportunity to highlight 10 organizations that may benefit from Arduino Support: Once again, Arduino will donate 30,000 USD to promote open source culture and innovation. This year, Arduino is soliciting suggestions; throughout 2014, Arduino is asking the community to highlight the 10 organizations which…

(This is the second post of the OpenWheels series. See all the posts by clicking here) As you may know, the invention of the SegWay is due to Mr. Dean Kamen who, noting the difficulties faced by a man in a wheelchair in just climbing a sidewalk, spotted the possibility of a vehicle that…
Ynvisible launched Printoo a prototyping platform to make today’s Printed Electronics technologies more accessible to anyone interested in developing interactive objects and projects. By making these technologies accessible, open and easy to prototype with, Printoo “hopes to generate a wave of innovation to make the physical world smarter and more enjoyable” Printoo boards can be used to make 3D…
We received from our Submit channel an update from an interesting project calle uMotio “It’s basically an arduino compatible device with gesture control built in. It picks up x,y and z motion and also has built in gestures such as swiping left/right/up/down and even airwheel (clockwise and anti-clockwise). The board contains a gesture control ic…
