La famille Arduino s'agrandit

Voici les nouvelles board Arduino qui vont sortir d'ici peu. Le Due est je suppose une réaction au Firebird32 qui tentai de mettre Arduino sur la touche en sortant des controlleurs compatible 32 bits.

l'Arduino Leonardo.
Basée sur un Atmel ATmega32u4, elle sera aussi low-cost qu'une arduino UNO mais aussi puissance qu'une teensy 2.0 de PJRC avec l'usb on pourra enfin voir des projets natif USB et non plus des hack du ATmega8u2 ! souris usb, clavier usb, clef usb, hub usb, ... les possibilités sont infini !

l'Arduino Due.
Le top du top, l'arduino killer made by arduino ! Une carte arduino avec une cpu 32bit ARM Cortex-M3 (Atmel SAM3U), imaginé avoir la puissance de d'un LPC1769 dans une board arduino !
Un bijou tournant à 96MHz, avec 256Kb de Flash, 50Kb de Ram, 5 SPI, 2 I2C, 5 UARTS, 16 Analog (12Bit) et bien plus !
Disponible fin 2011 !
Arduino WiFi.

l'Arduino Wifi.
Un savant mélange d'une carte arduino AVR32 (cpu 32bit AVR de ATmel) avec un module wifi de H&D Wireless le tout bien sur avec une stack TCP/IP entièrement open-source !
En bonus, la possibilité de crée ses propre protocole ou de migrer un sketch ethernet sans grosse modif !

En gros cette coopération entre ATMEL et Arduino est tout bon pour nous utilisateurs !

Autre point important, la sortie imminente de la "release candidate" de l'ide arduino, "Arduino 1.0".

Teensyduino USB Development Board

The Teensy is a complete USB-based microcontoller development system, in a very small footprint, capable of implementing many types of projects. All programming is done via the USB port. No special programmer is needed, only a standard "Mini-B" USB cable and a PC or Macintosh with a USB port.

 

Teensyduino is a software add-on for the Arduino IDE. It adds the ability to build and run sketches on the Teensy and Teensy++!

Homesense Research Kit 2010

Homesense is a pilot program that helps people develop their own smart systems for tracking and understanding their home energy usage. Developed with input and information from real households, it includes ideas for useful tools, such as a garbage bin that appears progressively angrier the more it is used and a device that waters plants for someone too busy to do it herself. The program was devised with the support of the energy company EDF and HighWire, a computing and design program at Lancaster University, England.

Cublets is a robot construction kit

The cubelets standard kit comes with 20 magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots with no programming and no wires. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.

Interesting to see which cubelets are in the Standard Kit, especially Sense Blocks:

• Action Blocks: 2 Drive, 1 Rotate, 1 Speaker, 1 Flashlight, 1 Bar Graph
• Sense Blocks: 1 Knob, 1 Brightness, 2 Distance, 1 Temperature
• Think/Utility Blocks: 2 Inverse, 1 Minimum, 1 Maximum, 1 Battery, 2 Passive, 2 Blocker
