Connect any object, material or surface to the digital world with the Touch Board’s sophisticated capacitive sensing. Use the on board capabilities to play an MP3, synthesise a MIDI note, or do anything else that you might do with an Arduino. The Touch Board is based around an Arduino Leonardo so it’s easy to use and works with a lot of shields. It’s thin and flat so its perfect for placing on walls, inside of books or in your coat pocket. A Processing Polymath Arduino’s hardware and support have provided the platform for countless creations, and the Leonardo is no exception. Arduino has a brilliant online forum to get you started, and a huge variety of shields which can help you add almost limitless functionality. The Leonardo has a somewhat hidden power too — It’s HID capable. This means that your computer can recognise it as a keyboard mouse or trackpad. Super Power is a Superpower Never before has such a small package been able to do such big things. It is not as easy to get started as an Arduino, but if you’re familiar with Linux this board is for you. If you’re looking for a wireless computer that’s the size of a stamp, and more powerful than your old laptop, this is it. FREESCALE FRDM – KL46Z Stunning Sensors Arduino compatible, but with built-in magnetometer, gyroscopes and some nice interface features. Unlike most sophisticated electronics, this board is just asking to get thrown around. Programming this board has a steeper learning curve than Arduino, but is much more powerful once you get going. It’s also compatible with MBED, so you can program in your web browser without installing anything. Wearables’ best friend The Lilypad is a great springboard for getting started with wearable technology. Its stylish appearance conceals an Arduino compatible platform where sewing skills are just as important as programming. This Lilypad is machine washable and its sewable pads lend themselves well to your next Halloween costume! Good things come in small packages This tiny wonder can fit almost anywhere — inside a hacked toy or an old piece of tech. Onboard USB and more pins than you would expect in a tiny package make it super versatile. It’s Arduino compatible which makes it quick to deploy, and Adafruit’s Learning System is a fantastic resource for every maker. SPARK CORE Your internet of things… thing Fed up with all these internet-connected toasters and cloud temperature sensors? If you want to customise your own, whether to know when the washing machine is free, or have an alarm go off when your bus is close by, use the Spark Core!
