We’re very happy to announce an updated version of the Arduino Ethernet shield, with some nice new features. This revision incorporates a micro-SD card slot so you can store files to send over the network. It’s compatible with the Arduino Mega (using the SPI pins on the ICSP header). It adds a reset controller which […]
Today we are working at ITP, New York University, Shigeru Kobayashi from IAMAS, presented his Arduino FIO board that he developed together with Sparkfun. UPDATE (20100319): If you are interested in checking this board out right now, you can get it directly from here.
Smart Projects, the Italian company that is the manufactures the Arduino Duemilanove, Mega, and Mini, has signed up with the ZeroImpact/Lifegate project in order reduce its environmental impact and compensate for the emissions created in manufacturing Arduino boards. The company’s donation to ZeroImpact/Lifegate will go to restore and protect 25 thousand square meters of rainforest […]
We’re happy to announce that a new and improved version of the Arduino Nano is now available for pre-order. The Nano is an all-in-one Arduino board perfect for use with a breadboard; just connect a mini USB cable. The Arduino Nano 3.0 includes the ATmega328 microcontroller, which provides twice the memory of the previous ATmega168. […]
Caroline Brown, an ITP student in Jennifer Van der Meer’s class, is trying to do a life cycle assessment on the Duemilanove, to determine its environmental impact. I think it’s an interesting idea, since I’ve never seen an LCA done on a module like the Arduino. I’ve seen a few on commercial products, but never […]
I just finished a quick sample project for the Arduino Mega, doing a project that comes up all the time, and usually requires a multiplexer, Max7219, or shift register: controlling 128 LEDs with a Mega. In this example, there’s nothing but a mega and 2 8×8 LED matrices. Whee! And yes, that’s a nifty light […]
We’re happy to announce the release of the Arduino Mega, a larger, more powerful Arduino board. It’s based on the on the ATmega1280 (datasheet), which has 128 KB of Flash (program) memory, 8 KB of RAM, and 4 KB of EEPROM. The board has 54 digital pins (of which 14 provide PWM output), 16 analog […]
We’re very happy to announce that the Arduino Duemilanove has been upgraded to a more powerful microcontroller: the ATmega328. It’s fully compatible with the previous ATmega168, but with twice the memory. That includes flash memory for storing sketches (32 KB instead of 16 KB), RAM for holding variables (2KB instead of 1KB) and EEPROM for […]
I am starting my review series talking about the microSD module from Libelium. It is a tiny board (45x23mm) that can be used with any microcontroller platform able of communicating over SPI. I got it with a 1GB microSD card and a set of male headers that allow connecting the board to the digital pins […]
I got a whole bunch of Xmas presents this year and I promised myself to take some time to make high quality stuff out of them. Libelium, the Arduino distributor running the Hacking Life contest, sent two pieces of their microSD module, two GPSs, two Solar panels, two GPRS modules, and some other small things. […]
