This MICROCONTROLLER GUIDE represents independent research by Bare Conductive and information found in the data sheets of the above products. We treat it as a valuable resource but also
envision it to grow and develop with your input. Please email us at info@bareconductive.com with any comments or suggestions you have, we will be sure to get back to you!
Come closer — this board has Telesensory powers! 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 SuperpowerNever 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 SensorsArduino 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!With WiFi connectivity at its heart and browser-based programming, you won’t have to install anything to start making.
The multi-tasking visionary We can’t say it any better than the BBC: The Raspberry Pi is a £30 ‘credit card sized computer.’ Different than a micro controller because it runs an operating system, the Raspberry Pi is at the heart of projects and products worldwide. You’ll need your Linux or Scratch skills to get the best out of it, but there is a massive community to help you out.Want an example of world changing technology? It’s right here.
Make Keys — get it? Open the box and make keys — as the name says! This fun little board is very easy to use and is an expert at making computer keyboards out of anything you can find in your fruit (or vegetable) bowl — the edible keys inventor! Crocodile-clip compatible pads keep soldering to a minimum and fun to a maximum for quick projects. The online community has created plenty of webpages that turn your board into anything from a musical keyboard to a game controller.
The maestro
Meet Ototo, a circuit board synthesizer that can be used to build your own instruments! It has twelve keys which represent musical notes, four sensor inputs and an onboard speaker to make lots of noise. Make the world around you into a keyboard! Unlike the Makey Makey, Ototo doesn’t need to be plugged into your computer, but he still loves bananas.
UDOO QUAD
One smart cookie This is the Einstein of the boards, super intelligent, loaded with memory, and able to reach a high complexity of output. The most powerful Linux-based board on our list, it also has the same shield layout as the Arduino Mega, so you can choose from a world of add-ons (3.3V). Onboard WiFi and Ethernet make connecting to the rest of the planet easy. The support and active community are fantastic as well.
BEAGLEBONE BLACK
Fast and flexible Faster than the Raspberry Pi and with more pins, the Beaglebone Black is a great answer to those times when you need all the might of Linux with loads of spare pins to control everything. Great for complex projects that require tons of sensors, serious processing power and connectivity. The Beaglebone has a rabid (ha ha) community of users to help get your project off the ground.
