Our Romeo has new look!

April 20, 2012 in New Products

 


Opensource hardware is evolving on both functions and appearance. Our romeo and DFRduino mega 2560 is becoming more colorful.

The coolest thing about our new DFRduino microcontroller and Romeo is that the hearders with different colors are used to feature I/O ports of different types, red for Power Section, blue for Analog I/O, green for Digital I/O. These colors match our sensor cables. This makes it really easy to figure out where to connect sensors.

Other features about new Romeo are:

  • Changed the position of ICSP which makes the Romeo compatible with the Ethernet Shield and Xbee Shield without any modification
  • Replace FT232R chip with faster 8U2 chip which provides a fast uploading speed.

Next generation of Arduino? – Teagueduino

September 12, 2011 in News

teagueduino

teagueduino

“Teagueduino is an open source electronic board and interface that allows you to realize creative ideas without soldering or knowing how to code, while teaching you the ropes of programming and embedded development (like arduino). Teagueduino is designed to help you discover your inner techno-geek and embrace the awesomeness of making things in realtime — even if you’ve only ever programmed your VCR.”

It looks quite similar with Arduino-an Italy invention. But it goes further. The best part of teagueduino is that you don’t need to deal with c++ style language, great benefit for those who have no programming knowledge. The code is already built in and what you need is the design of how the logic works. With the provided programming tools, it seems that users can easily make things to go. Simply with click few buttons.  The project is started from the kickstarter. The weak part is the price. A teagueduino will cost you around 160 bucks compared with Arduino’s 30 bucks. It still has way to go.
