Arduino goes ARM - new modules. An ARM-based Arduino is the next step in the development of this open source platform, but it isn't all gain.
The whole world seems to be going in ARMs direction. The latest version of Windows 8 will run on ARM processors and now the open source Arduino platform has a new member - the ARM-based Arduino Due announced at the Maker Faire in New York. The Due makes use of Amtel's SAM3U ARM-based process, which supports 32bit instructions and runs at 96Mhz. The Due will have 256KB of Flash, 50KB of SRAM, five SPI buses, two I2C interfaces, five serial ports, 16 12-bit analog inputs and more. This should be compared to the current best selling Arduino Uno with an 8-bit 16Mhz ATmega32, 32KB of Flash, 2KB of SRAM and a lot fewer I/O ports. There are already some Arduino variants that use the PIC32 processor and are pin-compatible with other Arduino boards that are almost as powerful. From the Arduino blog: Also announced was the new Arduino WiFi Shield. More Information. Labs » Blog Archive » Computerless Arduino for under $50.
NEW PRODUCT – Clear Enclosure for Arduino – Electronics enclosure – 1.0. February 18, 2011 AT 8:10 pm NEW PRODUCT – Clear Enclosure for Arduino – Electronics enclosure – 1.0.
We are very excited to have one of the first (and we think the best) Enclosure for Arduino & project box now available in clear plastic, the future! Here are all the details: Dimensions: 3.6″ x 5″ x 1.35″Injection molded clear plasticEnclosure is easy to machine, drill, cut and shape to what you needBrass screw inserts (can be used and reused many times, very durable!) Fits standard Arduinos and 16 x 2 LCDsFits Arduino with Adafruit Protoshield on top with .45″ clearancePop out plates for GPS, buttons, sensors, switches, knobs, etc! In stock and shipping now!

The next generation Proto-ScrewShield is a dual-purpose prototyping shield. Now only does it have a large 0.1″ grid prototyping area but it also extends the Arduino pins to sturdy, secure, and dependable screw terminal blocks. You even get a few bonus terminals for extra GND and four ‘free’ terminals for whatever connections you wish! The stack-able wing design allows you slip this under any shield and still get easy access to the “analog” & “digital” ports of the Arduino. Comes as a kit of all through-hole parts. In stock and shipping now! Related No comments yet. Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time. Arduino - HomePage. MondoMatrix. Playground - ShiftBriteLib. Overview Taken from macetech.com.
ShiftBrite is a high-brightness LED module containing red, green, and blue elements. It uses a simple clocked serial interface to receive a 10-bit brightness value for each color, resulting in over a billion possible colors. Each input is buffered and output on the other side of the module. This allows each ShiftBrite to repeat the signal to the next, allowing longer cable runs between elements without excessive loading of microcontroller I/O pins. ShiftBrite elements feature current control and automatic overtemperature control (an overheating channel driver will shut off until it has cooled).
Library You can get the library here Use To use it, include the library by adding #include "ShiftBrite.h" at the top of your sketch. Then make a ShiftBrite object like this: ShiftBrite SB(10);. If your pins aren't right in a row, you can explicitly define them like: ShiftBrite SB(datapin,latchpin,enablepin,clockpin); Arduino Tutorials. Strobit - Project Hosting on Google Code.
