Wired Design | Wired.com: TinyDuino is a fully Arduino-compatible hardware platform, complete with expansion shields (add-on boards that have specific sensors or lights, for you non-robot designers). But where an Arduino Uno is around the size of a credit card, the TinyDuino is smaller than a quarter, and its sibling the TinyLily is the size of a dime. The TinyDuino line is designed around three core elements: size, affordability, and expandability. The idea, says Burns, is to open up Arduino to a whole host of applications that simply aren’t possible with the larger board.

I would love to take a few days with an Arduino type controller to just mess around with it and get a better understanding of how they work and what they are capable of. I think for those purposes, such a small piece might not be the ideal, but the size of the TinyDuino obviously has its perks. I do wonder if the size makes it any more difficult to work with however -- I guess I don't know enough to say for sure, but I do wonder if connections that are that small are harder to make for the size of them. As such things go, though, here is yet another piece of tech that just keeps getting smaller and smaller.
