Arduino VENTUNO Q

Arduino have been kind to us today, I have the good fortune of being sent an Arduino VENTUNO Q ahead of our VENTUNO Q RoadTest (which is still open for applications until the 9th of October).

My initial impression's that it's a bit smaller than expected, but like all Arduino products it is well built.

We have plans to explore the functionality of this new bit of kit on the element14 Community alongside those writing a review, so you won't be alone in your explorations when you're selected Slight smile

At present we're exploring what cameras we can connect up to it, support is still in development from Arduino, but will be forthcoming. 

If you have any questions, I'll see if I can answer them, but we do have a rather comprehensive FAQ with questions fielded by Arduino engineers here:  ARDUINO VENTUNO Q

  • Hi Christopher   ,

    I pre-ordered the Ventuno Q from Arduino in mid-August, and it arrived today.
    Visually, it’s a great-looking piece of kit.
    Its size matches the Eurocard standard (160x100mm), with a height of 50mm including the supplied standoffs.

    Unboxing:
    All parts are well packaged.

    First impression: the PCB is neatly assembled, and the components are securely mounted.

    A small detail:
    You can mount a standoff above the LED matrix, behind the "User" button.
    You have to be careful here to orient the hex nut so that it doesn't push against adjacent components; otherwise, they could get torn off.

    "Bughopper" module:
    Behind this standoff, there is a pin header for the Bughopper, in case you need to debug the Ventuno Q.

    Audio module:
    Various modules can be attached to the underside; I bought the audio module. There is also currently a prototype board available for custom circuits.

    Plugin careful such modules. Such modules you cannot connect on/off many times.

    Power supply:
    Similar to the RPi 5, it’s a 65W USB-C wall adapter.

    VentunoQ-supply

    Well then... That covers the unboxing.

    Then, I also have RPi compatible cameras and 7" displays; so, I'll see how I can connect them to the Arduino Ventuno Q.

    Now..., I'm as excited as a guitar string to see what "melodies" the Arduino Ventuno Q will play.

    I would be very happy to post my experiences with the Ventuno Q (I also have the Uno Q) here, or in a dedicated forum.

    Best Regards

      do you want to write up a review for it since you already have it? We can add you to the RoadTesters list.

    maybe  can send you a few accessories.
