Replacement:<\/strong>DEV-10116<\/a>. The new revision swaps the MAX1555 charging IC for the MCP73831T LiPo Charger. This page is for reference only.<\/p>\n\n The Arduino Funnel I\/O (Fio) is a board designed by Shigeru Kobayashi, based on the original design from LilyPad<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Funnel is a toolkit to sketch your idea physically, and consists of software libraries and hardware. By using Funnel, the user can interface to sensors and\/or actuators with various programming languages such as ActionScript 3, Processing, and Ruby.<\/p>\n\n Arduino Fio is compatible with Funnel. It has connections for a Lithium Polymer battery and includes a charge circuit over USB. An XBee socket is available on the bottom of the board. The Fio has been designed to be wirelessly reprogrammable. Checkout our tutorial on wireless bootloading<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n Note:<\/strong> The miniUSB connector is used for battery charging only. To bootload new firmware, you will need an external serial connection over an FTDI Basic<\/a>, cable<\/a>, or other serial connection.<\/p>\n\n Note:<\/strong> The XBee socket and FTDI connection live on the same TX\/RX pins of the ATmega328. You will need to remove the XBee module while reprogramming over serial. We recommend using a wireless bootloader whenever possible to avoid this step.<\/p>\n\n **Note: **A portion of this sale is given back to Arduino LLC to help fund continued development of new tools and new IDE features.<\/p>\n\n Features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Documents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n
