What would you do if you got an Arduino Primo?

Hey!

We received 20pcs of a developer edition of the Arduino Primo from Arduino SRL, and we would like to share those with the best and most committed developers on Devzone, before they go on sale! Have you heard about the Arduino Primo board? It is a new maker platform from Arduino SRL targeting the IoT and it is based around the nRF52832! The nRF52832 is the main MCU and provides Bluetooth and NFC connectivity. The Arduino Primo also includes WiFi connectivity.

If you want an Arduino Primo board and are ready to contribute and develop code for the Arduino Primo or have an excellent idea for a demo using the Arduino Primo. Please send me a personal message here on Nordic Devzone, with what you would do if you get an Arduino Primo? The best people with the greatest ideas will get one :-). Aug 31st is the last day to apply for one!

Furthermore, the Arduino Foundation is currently running a contest where you can win a developer edition of the Arduino Primo. They also want to put the boards in the hands of the most skilled and committed developers…so I guess a lot of the folks in this forum should have a good chance to get their hands on a board from Arduino as well. A link to the Arduino contest, see here:

For more details about the Arduino Primo, check out the Arduino Primo site or the press release on our website.

Good luck!

    The idea is to implement a semi soft UART for the second interface, to provide an extra UART. Also, it is possible that the I2C connection between the nRF52 and the STM will take over some of the tasks intended for the UART connection, to allow the second UART to be available to the application instead.

    Both the STM and the nRF52 can be programmed through the SWD headers, that is correct. One of the headers can also be used as an output, allowing the Primo to program external boards without a built in programmer.

    The WiFi chip supports IPv4 only. For IoT the idea is to use something like the Arduino Tian: http://www.arduino.org/products/boards/arduino-tian
