Like many of you, my first introduction to physical computing

came courtesy of Arduino. It wasn’t much, admittedly – I played

with a series of LEDs, getting them to change configurations

as I pressed a few buttons. However, that was, for me, the first

time my software had broken away from the screen. Suddenly

I wasn’t limited to ‘a computer’, and could program anything,

just attach an Arduino and whatever hardware I wanted, and

anything could be controlled with code.

It’s been a rocky few

years for Arduino,

where legal issues have

overshadowed their

technical achievements,

but it’s fantastic to see these problems all sorted and the

organisation getting back to doing what they do best – making

exciting hardware and software.

On a personal level, their new products will make some

projects I’m building easier, and I’m excited to get some boards,

and get stuck in. Maybe they can help you too. Head to page 32

for a rundown of what’s coming out.
