The idea early on was to leverage existing Arduino libraries to connect with a standard USB mouse, specifically, the hardware would take the form of an Arduino Mega 2560 with a USB Host Shield.

On the Arduino Due, the USB connects directly to the SAM3X8E processor. This concept doesn’t apply only to Arduino boards, of course.

Arduino is so much about what is made with Arduino boards that we hardly spare a thought for the boards themselves. Well, Arduino cares, and they've just gone about redesigning their base model ...

"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 ...

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 ...

As Arduino took off Microchip, an 800 pound gorilla of a micro-controller company, jumped into the game with their own 32-bit versions of the Uno and the Mega. These are called the chipkit Uno32 and ...

Electronic and Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new development board launched via Kickstarter this week by electronics developer Flavio DaBrescia based in Travagliato, Italy.

The Arduino Due is scheduled to go on sale at some point today for $49 although as of writing, it still hasn't shown up on their website.
