The Electromaker Guide to Boards 2019 @ElectromakerIO

The the second edition Electromaker’s guide to boards has just been published. This guide is:

A carefully researched and curated list of 100 boards worthy of your attention. We have taken an in-depth look at the specifications of 100 hand-picked boards, which will help you to choose the right hardware for your next project. We cover the classics of the community and unleash a few ‘up-and-coming’ platforms that will no doubt become future classics.

Whether you need rock solid timings for your mission-critical projects, or just want to blink an LED over the Internet, you will find a board here that will suit your needs. From the humble Arduino Uno to the Udoo Bolt monster, we cover boards that have captured our interest.

Out of the 100, Adafruit boards capture 11 of the spots over a broad range of board sizes and processors.

You can find the list, sortable by 8 categories, on the web here and in PDF form here.

Thanks Electromaker for including our boards in your curated list!
