ARDUINO UNO MINI
\nA LIMITED EDITION COLLECTOR\u2019S PIECE.<\/p>\n
_<\/p>\n
10 million Arduino UNO boards have been sold to a worldwide community. It\u2019s time to celebrate with a limited edition collectible.<\/p>\n
The world\u2019s favorite development board has gone mini. Arduino\u2019s most iconic device is reaching the incredible milestone of 10 million boards sold.<\/p>\n
Uno means \u201cone\u201d in Italian. It was chosen in 2010 to mark the primary importance of this board in the product line, five years after the Arduino project was born in a design school in Ivrea to help design students create projects in a simple, understandable way.
\nFrom there, Arduino became one of the favorite tools for the growing maker movement, and for people who wanted to learn electronics, coding and to build something by themselves from beginning to end.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the projects are funny, others are world-changing, and a huge number of these projects have an Arduino UNO at their core,\u201d says co-founder Massimo Banzi. \u201cOur values are still the same; we make tools that empower people, help them create whatever they want while enjoying the process, and to make technology accessible. We now make higher performance and more sophisticated products, but the Arduino UNO is more than a product. It\u2019s an icon.\u201d<\/p>\n
SIMPLICITY, USABILITY AND IDENTITY
\nSince 2005 Arduino has grown in so many ways and with a vast range of products, but we\u2019ll never forget that bar in which our founders decided to name the world-changing little board, and call it \u201cArduino.\u201d By 2009, the project that would become Arduino was gathering steam. Made by a team that Make magazine once referred to as, \u201cdesigners, teachers, artists, and techno-hippies.\u201d<\/p>\n
The notion of an easy to understand user experience for development environments was very prominent, although the people who would become the founders of Arduino hadn\u2019t necessarily articulated it even to themselves. Looking back, it\u2019s easy to see that this guiding principle was there from the beginning.
\n\u201cThe UNO is an arrival point of a large number of small experimentations and incremental improvements,\u201d Banzi adds.<\/p>\n
Design immediately became a key aspect. The Arduino image was conceived by a former student of the Ivrea classroom, Giorgio Olivero, who was entrusted with the new Arduino identity. \u201cThe strength of our current image depends entirely on the outstanding work Giorgio Olivero\u2019s done\u201d says co-founder David Cuartielles. \u201cNowadays it\u2019s really common to do these kinds of things, but back then on the maker scene it was really unusual to put so much into making things look good, and putting a focus on the user experience.\u201d
\nColors, branding, logos, user experience and a refined focus on usability and recognizable quality across everything Arduino did, from the UNO to the website and the packaging. The UNO\u2019s launch signaled a transition from DIY success story to a foundation platform for makers, engineers and creators around the world.<\/p>\n
ARDUINO UNO MINI LIMITED EDITION
\nNow, after more than a decade, the special edition collectible is a celebration of the UNO and the community around it. Designed and manufactured to the highest standard, this board has a unique black and gold color scheme. With the limited edition UNO, Arduino wants to celebrate this timeless icon along with all the makers and the millions of projects contributing to this incredible success story.<\/p>\n
A SPECIAL PACKAGING WITH PRINTED EFFECTS
\nArduino\u2019s design team created a unique packaging that celebrates the UNO\u2019s milestone. The packaging plays with black and gold contrasts, thin lines and negative spaces. A little jewel to celebrate the Arduino community. Each item is unique and numbered on the PCB.<\/p>\n
TIMELESS ICONS, MINIATURE SIZE
\nThe UNO mini also features a USB-C connector, a feature commonly requested by experienced makers. The board\u2019s design has been enhanced with castellated holes so that it can be SMD mounted on another board, which turns the UNO mini into a building block for custom PCBs moving from prototype to small series.<\/p>\n
Available as a limited edition for 40 EUR\/45 USD.<\/p>\n
About Arduino
