Arduino Bluetooth

The guy’s who’s have been making the world a better place with their boards, have now come out with a bluetooth version.

In case you haven’t had a chance to play with one yet, Arduino is an open source physical computing platform allowing you quick and easy prototyping using a simple I/O board and a programming language build on top of Processing.

The new BlueTooth version opens up a whole load of possibilities, particularly as it has a Class 1 Bluetooth transmitter/receiver (read that as bigger/better or 100 meters not 10). Not only will the BT allow easily update-able hardware (no more climbing up ladders to update the brain of your hanging robotic monkeys), but they can also transmit and receive vie the programming interface.

The guys have now opened up something a little more official with tinker.it and are offering this and a whole lot more on their site.
