LittleBits fixes this with the Arduino Bit ($39.95), an Arduino Leonardo-based microcomputer built into a three-input, three-output LittleBits module.

If you’re bit-less, they’re also now selling an Arduino-centric starter kit with the Arduino module and 8 others (a battery, a few switches, a servo, and a control dial) for $89.

Flappy Bit was just a fun side project for him to learn how to program the Arduino. The hardware consists of an 8×8 LED matrix, current limiting resistors, and a single button.

As much as we love the Arduino Uno, it's not the most powerful of hobbyist microcontrollers. Fortunately, the folks in Turin have just put the finishing touches on a 32-bit upgrade with buckets of ...

Arduino's new Arduino Zero is its first Uno sized 32-bit development board, and was created in partnership with ATmel.

The Arduino has become the darling of the electronics platforming world, with its easy to use software and hardware. The littleBits magnetically connected electronics modules have made a splash of ...

"The long-awaited Arduino Due just hit the market, replacing the 8-bit, 16MHz brain of the popular Uno microcontroller prototyping platform with a 32-bit, 84MHz processor, while augmenting inputs ...
