The new family of Arduino Boards will be officially presented at the Maker Faire – New York to happen at NY’s Hall of Science, September 25 & 26, 2010. Massimo Banzi, Tom Igoe, and Dave Mellis, will represent the Team… The team members will be around during Saturday and Sunday. You are more than welcome to pass by and ask anything about the future of our platform. On Sunday, September 26th, at 3PM EST (10PM CET) the team will be on stage presenting the improvements made to our hardware, our plans for helping the Open Source Hardware community develop further, and our new image.
Adafruit publishes a wide range of writing and video content, including interviews and reporting on the maker market and the wider technology world. Our standards page is intended as a guide to best practices that Adafruit uses, as well as an outline of the ethical standards Adafruit aspires to.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Kudos to the team for the Uno, however I really wish they had rounded off those sharp corners, and put the TX/RX LEDs on the end – they’re still hidden by any shields. Otherwise I’m really looking forward to getting the Mega 2560 – bucketloads of potential there!
@daniel What is the reason to change spacing? It was designed in a first place to avoid incorrect connection of shields. Moreover, if they change pin spacing, existing shields won’t be compatible, that’s a bad idea.
The thing I’m really can’t understand in the new arduino is bootloader. With 8K of flash on the USB chip they could include normal ISP software programmer and eliminate bootloader at all to give the users whole flash for the sketches.
Did they change the spacing on the digital pins? It looks like it is right now.. but I can’t really tell.

i like how you’ll be able to have it recognised by the usb port as a keyboard or mouse or midi or whatever
i’m wondering how that will change the ‘pro’ versions and such that take ftdi cables
