Several small-sized Arduino boards were designed this year, including
Microduino (25.40 x 27.94mm) and
OLIMEXINO-NANO (30 x 30 mm). But the company
Olimex , has taken another step towards reducing the form factor, with the OLIMEXINO-85S board. The size of the board is only 16.9 x 12.7 mm, which is not much more than a microSD card (15x11 mm). At the moment, OLIMEXINO-85S can claim to be the smallest board in the Arduino family.
Specification:- Microcontroller - Atmel ATTiny85 @ 20MHz with 8 KB of Flash, and 512B RAM
- I / O - all 6 I / O contacts (I2C, SPI, 4 ADC), as well as the power connector
- Miscellaneous: two LED indicators, one power supply the other programmable
- Power supply: via microUSB or lithium polymer battery
Application development is done using the Digispark Arduino IDE.
The LIMEXINO-85S will be available in early January 2014 and will cost 4 Euro.
The Internet of Things has become one more step closer, and the electronic bugs from the movie
