Yes, you are absolutely right, using a board with several real hardware serial ports is the obvious solution. That obvious solution is named “Arduino Mega” and generally is priced at $60.

It’s why I tend to use the 32U4 or the like. I have a programmer but if I use a USB to Serial, the damn Windows box keeps assigning an ever higher vitual port number with each connect.

Just this week, a project focused on building a high-quality, WiFi-enabled, Arduino-compatible board raised over $300,000 on Kickstarter. That’s over 30x their initial goal of $10,000, and they ...

Arduino, the world's leading open-source hardware and software platform, today announced the launch of its next-generation UNO board, a significant re ...

The nature of open hardware really makes this a robotic enthusiast's wet dream, with examples like my close mate Phil's robotic spider showing some of the cool things you can achieve with this suite.

BeagleBone and Arduino, partners in open hardware. You may have noticed that Banzi spoke positively about the BeagleBone even though it's ostensibly an Arduino competitor, made by the BeagleBoard ...

Blockduino is Arduino for the blockchain, a hardware-software solution that brings the benefits of blockchain to any device and makes hardware-as-a-service finally viable: Manufacturers are ...

The Arduino Due platform won't be quite as beginner-friendly as the company's other boards, so Arduino has taken measures to ensure that it doesn't end up in novice hands, at least initially.
