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!

  • Hi there,

    We are looking into creating a Google code lab for introducing the API to developers, but haven't started that work yet.

    I have a small demo app: webnfc-shoppingcart.appspot.com which works on Chrome on Android. It works with trunk, but I haven't checked the Dev Channel yet, but it should work with that very soon. If not, we can build an APK for you.

    It requires you to turn on Experimental Web Platform features in the about:flags page and restart the browser.

    Now you are asking, what kind of resources would be helpful to you?
