Looks like they are expected to sell for $19. http://www.tgdaily.com/hardware-features/70366-the-19-coin-sized-rfduino The $19 coin-sized RFDuino can best be described as an uber-mini board powered by Nordic's nRF51822 (ARM) Cortex M0 SoC. The device - designed by Open Source RF - offers Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, as well as software compatible with Arduino UNO and DUE board(s). [...] As expected, RFDuino is designated as open source hardware. [...] RFDuino devs are currently seeking funds on KickStarter, with a planned ship date of July 2013. A $19 pledge will get you a single RFDuino, while $39 buys an accompanying USB shield for sketch programming the board. (They're sold out at the $19 level.) See the video embedded in the above article for more detail. (It's probably on the Kickstarter page too.) > "The RFduino has a Nordic 32 bit ARM Cortex-M0 processor... It sounds like the hardware largely consists of this off-the-shelf chip from Nordic that combines Bluetooth RF and a Cortex-M0 microcontroller. Probably intended for Bluetooth peripherals. The creativity was packaging it up and putting together the software layer to make it Arduino compatible. -Tom _______________________________________________ Hardwarehacking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/hardwarehacking
