Quick Review: RFduino – Shrunk Bluetooth LE Arduino
RFduino is a miniature (23mm x 28mm) version of an Arduino that includes a Bluetooth LE radio. The devices are incredibly small and provides a subset of the io pins you get on an regular Arduino. The basic RFduino board costs just $23 which can make it cheaper to add into a project. The biggest…
