A Inmotion está a preparar mais algumas novidades e produtos para 2012. Nas próximas semanas vamos divulgar algumas das ideias que estamos a desenvolver e que gostaríamos de partilhar com toda a comunidade Arduino de Portugal.

Vamos continuar a manter a oferta dos portes de envio até 29 de Fevereiro, para todas as encomendas colocadas online e de valor superior a 35€ (+ IVA). Esta oferta só é válida para envios em Portugal.

Early this year project Spacebits was submitted as a panel proposal to speak at SXSW 2012. As a project member, i’m proud to announce that Spacebits, a Portuguese Near Space project, was accepted!!!

SXSW Interactive takes place in Austin, Texas US and is currently one of largest conferences for creators and entrepreneurs in the world, taking the city down for five incredibly non-stop frenetic days featuring hundreds of panels ranging from themes like the web, internet, science, arts and others. More than 14.000 participants joined in last year.

We feel immensely proud and honored for this. The team has decided to accept the invitation so expect us at the Driskill Hotel in March. We hope to travel with some of our gear and show it off to you and we’ll certainly prepare the best presentation of the project we can, including the juicy bits of what we’ve learned for the last year and a half.

Also, we’re wondering about the chance to launch a Spacebits 7 flight right from Austin during that week but further contacts with local volunteers are required before we can confirm this. We’re working on it. If you’re going to be at SXSW next year, don’t forget to join us, otherwise stay tuned with our blog, we’ll keep in touch as much as we can.

These tank tracks are made of a soft durable rubber and features a transverse tread for stronger traction and a inner central rib that stops side movements and prevents the track from slipping off the wheels. They are ideal for robots, rovers and tanks.

These small wheels are made of durable, light weight plastic. They are ideal for small robots and other toys. They fit on any 3mm shaft but a larger hole can be easily drillied to interface other motor shafts. They are sold in pairs and come with a matching o-ring.

A inmotion.pt vai dar uma Workshop de Introdução ao Arduino nos dias 4 e 5 de Fevereiro no espaço DAR – Design Advanced Resources Association nas Caldas da Raínha. A DAR é um espaço recentemente criado, que abriu as portas ao público no início deste mês e que pretende ser um centro de divulgação, partilha e experimentação de design. Exemplo dessa dinâmica é esta parede interactiva feita em lycra e controlada através de um Arduino

The Arduino Ethernet with POE is a microcontroller board based on the Arduino Uno, and incorporating a WizNet W5100 TCP/IP Embedded Ethernet Controller. The Arduino Ethernet does not have an onboard USB-to-serial driver chip, but has a Wiznet Ethernet interface. It can be programmed like an Uno via a six-pin FTDI style serial connector such as the FTDI Basic Breakout – 5V or any FTDI-style USB-to-serial connector. When plugged into a USB to Serial adapter, the Arduino Ethernet is powered from the adapter. A separate power-over-Ethernet (PoE) module is soldered to the board to provide power from a conventional twisted pair Category 5 Ethernet cable. It is IEEE802.3af compliant, and works with all compliant PoE injectors currently available.

The Arduino Motor Shield Rev. 3 is based on the L298 (datasheet), which is a dual full-bridge driver designed to drive inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, DC and stepping motors. It lets you drive two DC motors with your Arduino board, controlling the speed and direction of each one independently. You can also measure the current absorption of each motor, among other features. The shield is TinkerKit compatible, which means you can quickly create projects by plugging TinkerKit modules to the board.

The Wireless Protoshield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using a wireless module. It is based on the Xbee modules from Digi, but can use any module with the same footprint. The module can communicate up to 100 feet indoors or 300 feet outdoors (with line-of-sight). It can be used as a serial/usb replacement or you can put it into a command mode and configure it for a variety of broadcast and mesh networking options. This shield is also compatible with other radios using the same socket. We carry a compatible Wi-Fi radio, the RN-XV WiFly Module. Plug it, configure it and your Arduino is ready to communicate with any Wi-Fi network!!!

The Wireless SD Shield allows an Arduino board to communicate wirelessly using a wireless module, with similar features from the Wireless Protoshield above. It does however include an on-board SD card slot accessible through the SD Library. This shield is also compatible with other radios using the same socket. We carry a compatible Wi-Fi radio, the RN-XV WiFly Module. Plug it, configure it and your Arduino is ready to communicate with any Wi-Fi network!!!
