The Aurora Boxealis – A Color Sensing and Mirroring Project
Besides looking damned good on an otherwise bland and ordinary desk, this project is about more than just being attention grabbing eye candy. It’s about demonstrating a small portion of our single board computer capabilities by hooking up a color sensor, RGB light strip, and...

Arduino PICO, The Tiny Arduino-Compatible Board
MellBell, the Canadian-based hardware and electronics company, has launched their first product: Arduino PICO! At first, the company says that Arduino PICO is the smallest Arduino compatible board ever, since it is 0.6" x 0.6" inch sized (~15mm squared). This tiny fully-fledged...

Should you build or buy your next single-board computer?
by Markku Riihonen @ EDN Europe: Does it make sense to design and build your own single-board computers? It used to be the sensible option for anyone concerned about matching features to production cost. Traditionally, with your own board design, you have the freedom to add only the...
