    Discover #Virgil: history comes to life with Arduino

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    We’re excited to introduce #Virgil, an innovative project that combines the power of Arduino technology with a passion for history, creating a groundbreaking interactive experience for museums. 

    Using Arduino’s versatile and scalable ecosystem, #Virgil operates completely offline, allowing visitors to interact with 3D avatars in a seamless and immersive way. The project brings the past to life, offering dialogue-driven encounters with key historical figures thanks to voice recognition and edge AI – with the option to choose among many different languages.

    “#Virgil is meant to celebrate the past and, more importantly, open new avenues for education and inspiration. We want to prove how technology, when guided by ethical values, can amplify and perpetuate our cultural heritage in ways that used to be unimaginable,” comments Enrico Benevenuta, coordinator of the Territori Svelati project and AI expert.

    Matteo Olivetti, great-grandson of Olivetti’s founder Camillo, drew inspiration from the iconic Divisumma to design a dedicated hardware setup, Olivox. 

    Powered by the Portenta X8 and Max Carrier, the device connects via HDMI to any screen, engaging visitors in a rich, interactive experience without the need for smartphones or a stable internet connection. This approach allows the project to adapt easily to different exhibitions and contexts, while offering full control over the visitor experience.

    Internationally renowned 3D artist Elvis Morelli was entrusted with creating the first avatar of the project – and it’s no coincidence that Camillo Olivetti was chosen. 

    The story of Olivetti resonates deeply with Arduino’s own mission of pushing the boundaries of technology, and #Virgil represents a continuation of that legacy by bridging the gap between the past and future through cutting-edge tools.

    To find out more about the project and perhaps have a chat with your favorite pioneer of technology and innovation, visit #Virgil’s booth at the upcoming 2024 Maker Faire Rome, booth E.09. Don’t forget to stop by Arduino’s booth N.07 to find out more about our products, and let us know what you asked Camillo!

  • The Things Conference 2022: catch up with us and all things LoRaWAN®

    The Things Conference 2022: catch up with us and all things LoRaWAN®

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Arduino Team — September 16th, 2022

    We are excited to announce our team will be traveling to Amsterdam for The Things Conference on September 22nd-23rd, where Arduino will be among select exhibitors.

    The Things Conference is the world’s largest conference about LoRaWAN®, bringing together the industry’s major players contributing to this technology’s development in a two-day deep dive dedicated to making business operations smarter. This year’s edition will focus on the main topic of digital transformation – as seen through the lens of LoRaWAN®, of course!

    Don’t miss your chance to meet our experts in person at Amsterdam’s The Kromhouthal – a former marine engine factory now turned into a unique event venue. 

    We’ll be showcasing some of our best LoRaWAN® products and solutions: 

    • The Portenta Vision Shield LoRa®, designed to boost Arduino Pro’s H7 module with the capability to run embedded computer vision applications, connect wirelessly via LoRa® to the Arduino Cloud (or third-party infrastructure), and activate systems upon the detection of sound events; 
    • The Portenta Max Carrier, which can augment Portenta H7 or X8 with LoRa® connectivity and transform existing Arduino Pro modules into single-board computers or reference designs that enable edge AI for high-performance industrial, building automation and robotics applications;
    • The Arduino MKR WAN 1310, an entry-level option featuring the renowned versatility of the MKR family: a practical and cost-effective solution to add LoRa® connectivity to projects requiring low power;
    • Last but not least, the newly launched WisGate Edge Lite 2 and WisGate Edge Pro: ready-to-use, industrial-grade gateways for LoRaWAN® connectivity powered by RAKwireless™.

    On September 22nd, the packed schedule of The Things Conference also includes a keynote by Sebastian Romero, Lead Interaction Designer & Creative Technologist at Arduino: “Predictive Maintenance with an Arduino-based LoRa solution” will center on ways to implement predictive maintenance by measuring equipment vibration patterns, to prevent damage, mitigate the risk of downtime and improve profitability.

    Interested in something more specific? Sign up for “How to implement a smart, LoRa-connected insect trap with Arduino,” a dedicated workshop on September 23rd, also held by Romero.

    “At The Things Conference, we strive to bring together all industry leaders who can contribute to LoRaWAN® development, in a two-day deep dive dedicated to making business operations smarter. We see strong signs that innovation in the market is not driven only by technologies becoming available, but by a true shift towards compatibility and a partnership mentality – which Arduino has always stood for,” adds Wienke Giezeman, CEO at The Things Industries in closing.

    You can browse the full schedule and purchase your tickets at The Things Conference website, entering promo code FRIEND-ARDUINO for a 20% discount.  

    Tot ziens in Amsterdam!

  • The new Portenta X8 (with Linux!) and Max Carrier redefine what’s possible

    The new Portenta X8 (with Linux!) and Max Carrier redefine what’s possible

    Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Portenta X8 Max Carrier

    Arduino’s mission has always been to give creators, makers and innovators the tools they need to turn their ideas into real projects. That will never change. What is changing, and at warp speed, is our definition of possible.

    Because every day our accessible, flexible and reliable open-source hardware grows more powerful, and our ecosystem more complete. As you may have heard during Arduino Week, Arduino Pro is launching two new products in the Portenta range: the revolutionary X8 module, which merges Arduino and Linux for the first time, and Max Carrier, which gives you super prototyping powers to make your ideas come to life easier and faster than ever.

    Portenta X8 is a plug-and-play, industrial-grade SOM that comes with Linux OS preloaded onboard, making for a hybrid combination of microprocessor and microcontroller with the capability for AI and ML on the edge. It’s basically two products in one, with the power of no less than 9 cores. It features an NXP® i.MX 8M Mini Cortex®-A53 quad-core, up to 1.8GHz per core + 1x Cortex®-M4 up to 400MHz, plus the STM32H747XI dual-core Cortex®-M7 up to 480Mhz +M4 32 bit Arm® MCU up to 240Mhz, and is capable of running device-independent software thanks to its modular container architecture.

    With onboard WiFi/Bluetooth® connectivity you can carry out OS/application updates remotely, so the Linux kernel environment is always at top performance levels. Enhanced security is guaranteed by X8’s NXP SE050C2 Crypto element – keeping connections secure at the hardware level with PSA certification. The module has also achieved Arm SystemReady certification and integrated Parsec services, making it one of the first Cassini Products available to you on the market.

    It’s everything you need to develop your most ambitious projects for Industry 4.0, smart agriculture, connected buildings and smart cities: check out the full technical specs on the dedicated page and superpower your Linux applications with real-time execution.

    If that wasn’t enough, we are also introducing Portenta Max Carrier – which boosts X8 or H7 by adding connectivity options (Fieldbus, LoRa®,  Cat-M1 and NB-IoT), industrial connectors such as RS232/422/485, USB, mPCIe – plus three integrated audio jacks, a MicroSD card and more. 

    You can combine this Arduino Pro carrier with existing Portenta modules to turn them into single-board computers or reference designs for Industry 4.0 – bringing your deployment time virtually down to zero. This allows you to swiftly prototype and develop high-performance projects such as remote control of industrial machinery and equipment, smart digital kiosks that enhance users’ experience, and custom HMI dashboards to control the smart appliances, lights and systems in your home or office remotely.

    As excited as we are about these launches, it’s never just about a new product (or two!). It’s about how many new ideas we can spark, the innovation we can fuel, the new opportunities you can create, if you have the right tools.

    Portenta X8 is available on the Store and Max Carrier will arrive soon. We can’t wait to see the great innovations you will bring to life.
