What would you do if you got an Arduino Primo?

Pär H

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!

  • AFAIU, the device can function as a NFC Tag type 2, so that should be fine, and should work out of the box with Web NFC.

    Making the device API able to deal with JSON directly would make it easier to work with. With something like JerryScript that can be easily done on top of any existing device API.

    We haven't looked at handover yet, but Physical Web + Web Bluetooth will do similar handover, meaning that there will be a referringDevice connection which will only exist when launched from a Physical Web beacon. Doing something similar for NFC makes a lot of sense.
