Arduino 1.0 is now available from the download page.
A long time coming, this release brings small but important changes to clean up the Arduino environment and language – as well as adding lots of additional features. Updates to the environment include a new file extension, toolbar icons, and color scheme as well as a progress bar on compilation and upload. The language changes include modifications to the Serial class, addition of DHCP and DNS support to the Ethernet library, a new SoftwareSerial library, multi-file support in the SD library, modifications to the Wire library and UDP class, etc. For details, please see the release notes or this blog post. We’ll be pushing the updated reference for Arduino 1.0 live in the next day or two.

This release is the product of many people (listed in the release notes). Thank you to everyone who helped us get here!

What's Arduino's relevance here?

Arduino is a hardware software interface.

This is the "Hardware & Teledildonics" Forum

This is: Forum Index > General > Hardware & Teledildonics "Introduction to Arduino"

Les,

Thanks for pointing out the new Arduino release. After the dust settles, I'll probably try the new version for the Arduinos I already have, for simple projects. http://www.arduino.cc/

However, most of my new development is focused on Arduino-like boards that (a) have 32-bit CPUs, (b) can be programmed via a fork of the Arduino software, and (c) can also be programmed in virtually any language that gcc supports. Getting the software working on Windows 7 is a slight hassle, but the increased memory and vastly increased computational power is IMHO worth it. If interested, check out

I'm using their Maple Mini, and I think it's a great tool for teledildonics, and not much more expensive than an Arduinos with USB built in.

The Arduino folks are working on a 32-bit Arduino, but it's not available yet, and I suspect it'll take some iterating on both the hardware and software to make it work easily and well. Note that this is only my opinion/educated guess.
