Arduino ☛ This smart boxing band takes advantage of the new Arduino Nesso N1
Data is now a huge part of many sports, from F1 racing to football. Presenting that data to fans is secondary to the real purpose: helping teams and athletes maximize performance. No matter what sport you enjoy, you can benefit from that kind of quantified training.

CNX Software ☛ Arduino UNO Media Carrier adds MIPI CSI/DSI and audio connectors to UNO Q and VENTUNO Q boards
Arduino UNO Media Carrier board adds three audio jacks, a MIPI DSI display connector, two MIPI CSI camera connectors, and a few RGB LEDs to the Arduino UNO Q and Arduino VENTUNO Q SBCs. Both Arduino “Q” boards already expose MIPI CSI/DSI and audio interfaces, but only through the JMEDIA and JMISC 60-pin headers, which aren’t very convenient. The Arduino UNO Media Carrier board fixes that with 22-pin MIPI connectors and 3.5 audio jacks.

Arduino ☛ The Reflexes Machine turns a reaction game into an interactive experience
What happens when you combine a little imagination with a powerful dual-brain board and a handful of building-block sensors? In the case of Arduino community member LucaDilo, you get a reaction game that doesn’t simply wait for someone to press a button… it actually notices when you walk up and invites you to play.
