TwitterArduino Mini
Posted September 7th 2006 under Ars Electronica, Physical Computing
On sale for the first time at the Ars Electronica Electrolobby workshops, the Arduino mini is a much smaller version of its older brother. Ideal for plugging straight into breadboards & for projects with limited space, the Arduino mini also has twice as much memory for your code. Saving space by using a seprate USB adapter, code can loaded on to the board, then remove the loader to save space. Buy the mini for 25 euros and USB adapter for 15 euros (excluding tax & shipping). I bought mine at the workshop, photo above is size comparison with older Arduino that I made in the previous workshop.

Wow, Chris, looks terrific! Hadn’t heard about this yet.
Of course, even the existing Arduino is relatively small and probably best for projects that need to maintain a USB connection. But this looks fantastic for small external projects. Any word on the upcoming Bluetooth version?
