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!

  • I would like getting hold on the device because it supports both Bluetooth and NFC.

    the nRF52 chip is supported by Zephyr which has a port of JerryScript. I have already gotten the Arduino 101+Zephyr+JerryScript combination running in a configuration where the device used Physical Web to announce its web app which then could connect to it and communicate.

    As I work on the Web NFC spec https://w3c.github.io/web-nfc/ the device is really interesting for playing around with NFC on both device and client (web site) side. I am also planning to look at Bluetooth handover from NFC for Web Bluetooth/Web NFC at some point - any help, ideas for the spec with regard to that is welcome! :-)
