The RIoTboard is a development platform for the Internet of Things, designed to support Linux and Android. It’s built on an i.MX 6Solo processor and carries a powerful ARM Cortex-A9 core. Notable features include SD and microSD slots, digital camera interface, 4 USB ports, 1 mini USB port, and over a dozen serial ports.
The team at krtkl (pronounced “critical”) is crowdfunding Snickerdoodle, a $55 hybrid development board that has an ARM application processor with an onboard FPGA. It is programmable from a cellphone, has 230 general purpose input/output pins (GPIO) including ground pins, and might just be the next big thing for Makers in the embedded computing community. Here’s […]
This circular board is designed for wearables, and at just $10 you could probably budget several to sew into your textile project (don’t worry, it’s washable). The TinyLily Mini is smaller than a quarter and is Arduino compatible — in fact, it’s an homage to the Arduino LilyPad, bringing you the same processing power at […]
The Udoo Neo Full board features USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and 1GB of RAM, making it a great option for mobile IoT projects. Its integrated sensors (accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyroscope) and its capability to connect peripheral sensors also make this a great board for robotics projects. All of this is packed into a […]
With its onboard cellular antenna, this diminutive board will offer a huge range of deployment options and alleviate the hassle of using a custom cellular breakout board with your micro controller projects. They’re offering two versions, with either 2G or 3G connectivity. It thankfully also reduces the frustration of dealing with mobile carriers — more on that in […]
In the same tactile vein as a Makey Makey, the Bare Conductive Touch is all about interaction with the world around you. The Arduino-compatible board has 12 electrodes that can be connected to Bare’s conductive paint, conductive tape, or alligator-clipped objects around the house (like fruit). It can also act as a midi controller with […]
In this episode of Diresta, Jimmy shows us how he used some leftover steel to create lightweight, foldable sawhorses.
