Arduino announced today a new controller, the Esplora, which includes more prebuilt features and could be a step for Arduino toward a wider segment of the microcontroller market.

LightUp even offers an Arduino-compatible microcontroller block to help kids start coding -- clip the programming wand to the block, hook it up to your computer, and away you go.

The Arduino Due has a 32-bit ARM core (the Uno is 8-bit), an 84 Mhz CPU clock, 96 KB of SRAM, and more USB ports than the Uno. In short, it's a much more powerful microcontroller that can handle a ...
