The Linduino One development tool has been announced today by Linear. The Linduino One development tool is an Arduino-compatible platform for developing and distributing firmware libraries and code for Linear Technology’s SPI and I²C-compatible integrated circuits. Able to interface to more than 300 QuikEval demonstration cards, the Linduino One supports a variety of product types including ADCs, DACs, power monitors, intelligent Hot...

Adding to its range of hardware solutions for those working with the Arduino open-source electronics development platform, FTDI Chip has announced the FT121 G-Sensor shield. Focussing on the implementation of Arduino-based gaming systems, the FT121 G-Sensor shield enables such projects to be conceived and subsequently executed simply and rapidly through its USB human interface device (HID) class support.

This video shows you how to use the screen and play sounds on the Arduino Robot's speaker. David and Xun upload the DiscoBot example to show how to navigate through the different sounds using the keypad and the Slideshow example to load different images. Songs and images can be stored on a uSD card.

Hammond Electronics has today introduced a new series of design-specific moulded enclosures supporting the new types of credit card sized, low cost bare board computers, which, typically running Linux, provide basic functionality across a wide range of applications. While broadly similar in size and shape, each enclosure features differences in the positioning of I/O, power and expansion ports.

In this video the IR-array sensor at the bottom of the motor board is used to get the robot to follow a line. The Arduino Robot comes with five infrared sensors that enable it to measure the reflection of infrared light and detect the different qualities of the material underneath.

element14 has announced global availability of the Gertduino expansion board for the Raspberry Pi computer. Gertduino is an Arduino-Uno like board that was created by Gert van Loo, the inventor of the Gertboard. Gertduino is Arduino compatible and plugs directly onto the Raspberry Pi.

In this video the Arduino team will explore how to use different technologies to detect obstacles in the way of the Arduino Robot. The three technologies being tested are: ultrasonic range finders, infrared range finders and a trick using ultrabright white LEDs and LDR sensors.

Since it was announced back in September 2011, interest has been growing for the Arduino platform. Renesas has now entered this arena with one of the fastest Arduino compatible boards – The GR-Sakura – based on an RX63N 32-bit microcontroller operating at 100MHz. Ian Hall, Principal Engineer with the MCU&Tools Group, Industrial & Communications Business Group, at Renesas, explores more in this ES Design magazine article.

Mouser Electronics is now taking pre-orders for Intel’s Galileo Development Board, based on the Intel Quark Application Processor. The board is based on the Intel Quark SoC X1000 Processor, a 32-bit Intel Pentium-class system on a chip (SoC). It is the first product in a new family of Arduino certified boards featuring Intel architecture.

In this video you will see where to find code examples on the IDE. The first one, LOGO, invites users to interact with the Arduino Robot using the keypad to tell it whether to move forwards/backwards or turn left/right. Users will have to configure the robot's movement using the Calibration example.
