You might think that there could be no form factor that has not as yet had an Arduino fitted in to it. This morning a new one came our way.

Putting the Arduino inside its own battery pack makes a very neat and compact self-contained unit.
At the heart of the board is an ATmega328 clocked at 8MHz to reduce power consumption and fused to drop out at 1.7V. The radio module is a HopeRF RFM69C which as …read more
