This puts you anywhere between 15 hours and 3 years. That means depending on how much time you spend with the screen on will dictate how long your charge will last. 6ua in sleep mode, and 10ma with normal on. Power consumption numbers are decent too. Impressive! Features of the software include, window animations, up to 10 alarms, games, stopwatch, and flashlight mode. The display is a 0.96″ OLED display (128×64 pixels), it uses a DS3231M RTC, 2 LEDs, a buzzer, a 3 way switch and runs off of a 150mah LiPo battery. Zak has a really awesome writeup of him rolling his own watch. Ever thought of making your own watch ? Sure you have, it was probably going to turn out larger than you anticipated too huh? How’s 1.5mm thick sound ? Sounds pretty good to me too.

With the advances of shrinking technology it’s becoming more and more easier to roll your own every day items. But then when there is a bug they will rely on others to fix it or enhance it because the environment becomes more intimidating and there are less examples on how to do things. They will download pre-compiled binary images and eventually figure out how to get code on the eMMC and the Arduino at the same time etc. Something like the TRE will be an awesome processor for your 3D Printer and tons of people will use it. But I feel that more hardware like this starts to separate the people who write code, and the people who use code. It requires some interpretation and porting.ĭon’t get me wrong, I’m all for cheap, powerful hardware. With all the new gross hybrids and incarnations you can’t simply get some code that used to work - to work. What used to make the Arduino great was the fact there was tons of shields and code out there you could run. But what they don’t tell you is you can’t run Arduino code, or there is no library to support that Arduino shield. Everyone says ‘we are Arduino compatible’ which means you can write code somewhat like an Arduino, or it has a footprint for an Arduino shield. In my opinion these boards create market confusion, especially to newbies. Everyone wants to jump on the Raspberry Pi bandwagon, and some people want to jump on both and produce these weird hybrid things. Everyone wants to jump on the Arduino bandwagon.

Which gives you an environment suited for embedded Linux on the Sitara side, and Arduino (on the Arduino side).Īlthough I haven’t seen the price point, if it’s cheaper or the same price as the YUN I would prefer this setup, however I feel sort of mixed about these weird hybrid boards in general. The board is a Leonardo style Arduino (ATMega32u4) paired up with the same workings that make up the beagle bone black (AM335x Sitara). Not unlike the previously announced Arduino YUN, a dual processor design. It’s an Arduino, no it’s A beagle bone, no, it’s both?
