They have allowed young and old people to easily learn and adapt to working with microcontrollers. They have made computing and digital control available to everyone and have kept everyen-USTelligent Community 12RE: Two new Arduino boards are getting set to join the familyhttps://community.element14.com/learn/publications/b/blog/posts/two-new-arduino-boards-are-getting-set-to-join-the-familyFri, 18 Oct 2013 12:11:28 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:2f62d13f-8519-440b-9f7d-74403b0f2549e14 Contributor0<p>One thing that makes Galileo less useful - they left SIM/UIM slot out and didn&#39;t break out corresponding pins of mini pcie connector either <span>[View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-2f62d13f-8519-440b-9f7d-74403b0f2549/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16]</span> If they had done at least the second thing, one could use GSM/HSDPA modem that goes into mini PCIe slot for communications and what not, now that is not an option.</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16791&AppID=45&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">RE: Two new Arduino boards are getting set to join the familyhttps://community.element14.com/learn/publications/b/blog/posts/two-new-arduino-boards-are-getting-set-to-join-the-familyWed, 16 Oct 2013 19:59:07 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:2f62d13f-8519-440b-9f7d-74403b0f2549DAB1<p>Hi Cabe,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It looks like Intel has finally remembered how much the old TRS-80 did for them in selling chips.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>TI has been very active in the hobby market the last few years, so I am not surprised that they would support the Arduino line of MCU learning tools.&nbsp; Simple is always a good way to start, but having that growth path to real computing power can generate a lot of new ideas.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I am sure we have not seen the last vendor jump in.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>DAB</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=16791&AppID=45&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
