Intel CEO Brian Krzanich said that Intel recognized the value of the Arduino platform and the maker community and decided to forge partnerships that will be valuable to both makers and the future of Intel.
Look, we’ve got the new Arduino Galileo up and blinking!
Just before the launch of Maker Faire Rome, the Arduino team made a big splash by announcing two new Linux boards, each in collaboration with a different semiconductor company: Intel and Texas Instruments.
Make Faire Rome, Italy’s first Maker Faire, kicks off today. It’s a four-day celebration of making that’s attracted well over 200 makers from Italy and across Europe. The event is co-produced by Asset-Camera and Tecnopolo in collaboration with Arduino. Arduino’s Massimo Banzi and journalist Riccardo Luna are helping to curate the event.
Science writer Lorenzo Manella is heading up communications. He’s gotten to know the makers who will be attending the event quite well. “I’ve sorted through 200 or more maker projects to dig out their very essence,” he says. “I have tasted their bits and now will know their atoms.” On the eve of the fair I got Lorenzo to pause and answer a few questions about the big event.
“Make some noise” was a short one-day workshop about Arduino where we explored the topic of sound and it was aimed at complete beginners with no experience. To simplify the structure of the workshop we started with hands-on experiments composed by a quick set of exercises to enable the participants to understand the basics and, later on, to start exploring pitch, frequency, tone ,and multiple effects—with quite curious results.
Freaklabs’ Freakduino combines an Arduino with a built-in wireless board, giving you the ability to transmit data wirelessly without buying extra components. Its latest version features a longer range and improved power management.
