Arduino webinar: From board to build Using UNO Q and App Lab
A webinar date for your diary, if you are keeping up with the latest Arduino microcontroller development board: “From board to build: Using UNO Q and App Lab”. The DigiKey webinar, which is sponsored by Arduino, will take place on Thursday 12 February at 9am CST (3pm GMT). The Uno Q is Arduino’s Linux-capable version of its Uno. The board ...
Is Qualcomm bad for Arduino?
I can’t say that my heart leapt for joy when I saw that Qualcomm had bought Arduino. It is not that Qualcomm doesn’t make great semiconductors, and the first Arduino under the new leadership – Uno Q ** – is a very interesting new product and a great concept. It is because Qualcomm is very different from Arduino, and has ...
One I missed: LTG8F328P improved ‘Arduino’ processor
Arguably, the ATmega328P is being left behind as ‘the Arduino processor’ because Arduino’s are following the rest of the world and going 32bit. But on the other hand, something simple like an Arduino Nano, or one of its clones, with its small size, low cost and easy programming, is a great little problem-solver if you just need knock up a ...

Mouser shipping Arduino ASX00073 UNO SPE Shield for extra connectivity
The ASX00073 UNO SPE shield brings Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) and RS485 connectivity to projects, and Mouser has announced it is now shipping the Arduino shield. Compatible with the Arduino UNO form factor, it also supports SPI, UART, and I2C for interoperability with various devices. Mouser writes: “By incorporating RS485 connectivity, the ASX00073 UNO SPE shield becomes a versatile tool ...
More on: Arduino’s Linux-capable Uno Q
Arduino has announced a Linux-capable version of its Uno, called Uno Q and based on a pair of processors: the quad 2GHz Arm Cortex-A53 QRB2210 from Qualcomm for the operating system and the 160MHz Cortex-M33 STM32U585 for real-time processing. Dual-band Wi-Fi 5 is included, as is Bluetooth5.1, both with onboard antennas. The QRB2210 Linux processor has a 845MHz ‘Adreno 702’ ...
