This pcDuino Acadia is a single board computer with a lot of computing power. As a mini-PC platform, it’s relatively affordable. It uses a higher voltage than comparable boards, but it offers more than enough features to make up for it. Attach a screen, keyboard, and mouse and it will function as a computer. It […]
The Propeller Activity Board from Parallax boasts an 8-core processor that offers both power and speed. Makers looking for a variety of peripherals will find 18 I/O pins, a microSD card slot, and a mini audio-stereo jack among other features — all packed into a 4″×3″ board.
The RFduino is essentially an Arduino with a few key differences. At the size of your fingertip, it’s much smaller than Arduino and also slightly more affordable. You can run Arduino sketches on RFduino just like a regular Arduino, although you’ll need to purchase an additional USB shield in order to load other types of […]
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 […]
