Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 8:23PM It's that time of year again -- time for Maker Faire Bay Area! We'll be sharing a booth with the Metrix Open Hardware Alliance, which is a coalition of several Seattle-area open source hardware companies, including OpenBeam USA, organized by our friends at Metrix Create:Space. We'll be in booth 514, in the southeast quadrant of the Expo Hall.
Wednesday, April 10, 2013 at 8:10AM We've gotten the first batch of the second run back from the assembler, and they're now ready to ship.
Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 7:16PM A couple of interesting Zigduino projects in academic settings have recently been published. The first is from Frank Zhao, the author of the ZigduinoRadio package. He and his seminar group at the University of Waterloo created ARUCI: Augmented Reality Universal Controller and Identifier.
The second is a paper presented at IMECS 2013 about using Zigduinos and Contiki to build loosely coupled wireless sensor networks. They are working with a middleware layer for building sensor networks called LooCI and evaluating how the Zigduino behaves with it.
Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 6:48PM First, the entire first spin of the Zigduino r2 sold out in two weeks. Since it's Chinese New Year, and our bare PCBs are made in China, it will be several weeks before we have more in stock. However, for those of you who do have them, we've got some amazing new documentation to show you.
Arduino forum user pighixx has created gorgeous and detailed pinout diagrams for every official Arduino variant and a number of unofficial ones, including the Zigduino.
As you can see, it covers every pin and every function. I love these diagrams, and I am very glad pighixx was willing to create them for us! You can also download a PDF version.

Along with the New Year comes a new version of the Zigduino! It's based on a number of comments and feature requests we've gotten from users. We've made the Zigduino significantly more useful for many of the applications they're talking to us about. We endeavoured to retain full backward compatibility for most applications. Here's the most significant changes:
Taken together, these changes make the Zigduino a more capable platform for remote sensor nodes, remote controls, and similar applications. We look forward to seeing a host of new Zigduino applications that use these new features to their fullest.
All of the boards and connectors are now in hand -- right now, we're working on getting them all packed and programmed so we can offer them for sale by the end of January. In the meantime, we are now out of the r1 version and we do not anticipate making any more. There are still a few with our distributors, including SeeedStudio and Snootlabs.
