Development Boards & Kits - AVR Arduino Fio (DEV-10116)

The Arduino Funnel I/O (Fio) is a board designed by Shigeru Kobayashi, based on the original design from LilyPad. Funnel is a toolkit to sketch your idea physically, and consists of software libraries and hardware. By using Funnel, the user can interface to sensors and/or actuators with various programming languages such as ActionScript 3, Processing, and Ruby. Arduino Fio is compatible with Funnel. It has connections for a Lithium Polymer battery and includes a charge circuit over USB. An XBee socket is available on the bottom of the board.

The Fio has been designed to be wirelessly reprogrammable. Checkout our tutorial on wireless boot-loading!
Note: The mini USB connector is used for battery charging only. To boot-load new firmware, you will need an external serial connection over an FTDI Basic, FTDI cable, or other serial connection.
