Simple Labs' Simple Stick and Arduino Leonardo Comparison
Comparison Table
Here are both the boards side by side. Simple Stick on the Left Side and Arduino Leonardo on the right side.
What is Simple Stick?
Simple Stick is an indian made Arduino clone board. Simple Stick is a USB Stick format clone of
the Arduino Leonardo. It is functionally very similar to the Arduino Leonardo however the Stick format comes at the cost of Physical size differences.
About 3 years back, we designed our first Arduino Clone the Induino. We
named it Induino to add to our pride of having made it in India. The
Induino was an affordable arduino clone that was priced at 800/- [The
cheapest to be sold on some scale at that time!] however the Induino
evolved over a period of time to include many on-board peripherals
increasing the experimentation capabilities and became the InduinoX. Now following the InduinoX, we have built the Simple Stick, taking a deviation from the Standard Arduino Format.

You have mentioned Shield Compatible as No for the Simple Stick, is it due the size factor or is it not at all possible to use any shield?(by pin to pin wiring)
ReplyDeleteAnd it is custom made by Simple Lab, right? like the InduinoX?

ReplyDelete@Prakash, I hope you can make a shield for this stick which will make it compatible with the standard Arduino shield, it will be a simple pin to pin map from the original Arduino form factor to Simplelab Stick form factor... and hope it cab be build in max 50 bucks. Waiting for to hear from you, if you like my idea.
