Now it’s time for Genuino Zero and Micro, get them now!
As we promised last week, you can find on the Arduino Store a variety of Genuino products available for purchase. After Genuino Uno, Genuino Starter Kit (in Italian and English) and Genuino Mega, today we have 2 new entries: Genuino Micro (18.00€ + tax) and Genuino Zero (42.90€ + tax).
Genuino is Arduino.cc’s sister-brand created by Arduino co-founders Massimo Banzi, David Cuartielles, Tom Igoe, and David Mellis, the Arduino.cc team and community. While Arduino branded product are sold in the US only for now, Genuino brand is used for boards and products sold everywhere else in the world. Genuino and Arduino boards share the same components, characteristics and quality of manufacturing. They are actually the same boards under a different name, and you can purchase them depending on the area of the world where you live in.
Arduino ZERO (USA only) & Genuino ZERO (outside USA) are a simple and powerful 32-bit extension of the platform established by the UNO. They provide a platform for innovative projects in smart IoT devices, wearable technology, high-tech automation, crazy robotics, and much more.
Arduino Micro (coming next in the USA) & Genuino Micro (already available outside USA) are the smallest of the family, easy to integrate in everyday objects to make them interactive. The Micro is based on the ATmega32U4 microcontroller featuring a built-in USB which makes the Micro recognisable as a mouse or keyboard. Looking for ideas on your next project with the Micro? Get inspired looking at these projects on the blog.

Play with sensors on your Windows 10 devices from an Arduino
At build 2015 Microsoft announced an important collaboration with Arduino. Windows became the first Arduino certified OS and introduced Windows Virtual Shields for Arduino and Windows Remote Arduino able to bridge technologies designed to connect the physical world of Arduino with the Windows ecosystem and computing power. Today on the Windows blog, an update on the topic:
Now you can get the Windows Insider Preview of Windows 10 IoT Core with the next four technology investment.
1)Windows 10 IoT Core Universal Windows Platform (UWP) support for Arduino Wiring
2)>Windows 10 IoT Core Universal Windows Platform support for direct memory mapped UWP Providers
3)Windows Store availability of the Windows Virtual Shields Application
4)Windows Store availability of the Windows Remote Arduino Experience Application
Arduino Wiring
We want to make it easy for you to use existing Arduino Wiring Sketches, libraries, and hardware with Windows 10 IoT Core Universal Windows Apps (UWA) on a Raspberry Pi 2 or other supported board. By creating a new Visual Studio template, supporting NuGet Packages, and platform improvements we’re making it easier than ever to build on Windows 10 IoT Core.Simply drag-and-drop (or cut-and-paste) your favorite and readily-available Arduino Wiring INO and library files into Visual Studio, connect your hardware over GPIO, SPI, I2C, ADC or PWM to your Raspberry Pi 2 or other supported Windows 10 IoT Core device, and run your code. Visual Studio and Windows will do all the heavy lifting to create a UWA and deploy it on your behalf, and you can also leverage the power of Visual Studio with Windows to debug your Arduino Wiring code.
With Arduino Wiring being supported as an extension to the Universal Windows Platform, you can even create a UWA that combines Arduino Wiring, C# and XAML. This enables you to build great projects with mixed mode programming like the plotter near the end of this video. Try out Arduino Wiring here.Windows Virtual Shields for Arduino Application
This technology lets you leverage sensors and actuators on your Windows 10 device from an Arduino over USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth. For example, you can access your Windows 10 Phone accelerometer or your Windows 10 Desktop Screen from an Arduino over WiFi.
The Windows Virtual Shields for Arduino application is now in the Windows Store, and has improved the workflow to get started. The app is all you need on the Windows 10 device. Try it out here.Windows Remote Arduino Experience
This technology lets you develop on your Windows 10 device and access the physical world via an Arduino over USB, WiFi, and Bluetooth. For example, you can program in C# on your Windows 10 Phone and drive a servo connected on your Arduino over Bluetooth.
We also created a Windows app that enables you to explore GPIO, ADC, and PWM functionality without writing any code on your Windows 10 device. The Windows Remote Arduino Experience app is now available in the Windows Store. Give it a try!
Keep reading on their blog.

Top 10 Rare And Unusual Species of Bats
Top 10 Rare And Unusual Species of Bats
With vampire stories and news reports of killer bats, it’s no wonder bats get such a bad press. So I thought it would be better this Halloween to study, look at, and understand some bats to discover the unusual species and see if they really deserve their reputation…
Top 10 Rare And Unusual Species of Bats
..
Bulldog Bat
10 – Noctilio
Bulldog by face and bulldog by nature. This is one of the world’s deadliest bats and can also swim!
Chapin’s Bat
9 – Chaerephon chapini
This bat with its very distinctive crest of hair rising from a small lappet between the ears is not a normal bat going through a punk phase, it really is born looking like that!
Honduran White Bat
8 – Ectophylla alba
With very distinctive soft, snow white fur and cute yellow nose and ears. this tiny bat only measures 3.7-4.7 cm long!
Hammer-Headed Bat
7 – Hypsignathus monstrosus
No, it’s not a Moose with tiny ears this really is a bat that uses that big nose to create incredibly loud honking noises!
Maclaud’s Horseshoe Bat
6 – Rhinolophus maclaudi
One of the most unusual looking bats by far. Any animal with a multi-layered horseshoe shaped nose gets my unusual vote.
Spotted Bat
5 – Euderma maculatum
You know you are looking at a spotted bat when you see the 3 white spots found over each shoulder and on the backside. Oh! And those giant ears might be a bit of a clue as well.
Tube-Nosed Bat
4 – Nyctimene robinsoni
This megabat is one of the few species of bats that like to sleep alone rather than in groups. I would imagine this is because he would snore due to having that long nose.
Golden Capped Fruit Bat
3 – Acerodon jubatus
This bat is a very misunderstood animal. Sure, it’s the world’s biggest species of bat and it does have a 6ft wingspan. But this species is non-aggressive towards humans and is a fruit eater!
The Panda Bat
2 – Niumbaha superba
This bat is so rare that scientists believed it had become extinct. But this was the first one seen and caught since 1939!
Northern Ghost Bat
1 – Diclidurus albus
The Northern Ghost Bat (AKA: Jumby Bat) is a very rare species of bat. They prefer humid habitats like rainforests but have been found living nearer to us humans.
