“Just got my Arduino Due from @adafruit<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 pretty neat, much larger than the Uno,” he tweeted, following up \u00a0that it\u00a0“Looks like the layout is similar enough to fit old shields.”<\/p>\n

Gottfried, a Developer Evangelist at Twilio<\/a>, has put together a few interesting Arduino projects of his own, including setting up a home automation system that let him control his AC remotely<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He also sent photos of the new board with the Raspberry Pi and diminutive Arduino Fio for further size comparison.<\/p>\n
