Planet Arduino

We are proud to share with you the link to purchase the first batch of Arduino Uno ($24.95) assembled in US by Adafruit and created by #TeamArduinoCC.

The partnership started last May when Massimo announced it during Maker Faire San Mateo. Right after our team at Arduino and Adafruit team did all the best they could the make it happen on July the 4th, Independence Day! Now, it’s real! Arduino Uno can be back in your hands allowing you to create amazing interactive projects and, at the same time, supporting the open source community!

If you take a close look at the back of the board, you’ll find the “Assembled in USA” tag and also the new Genuino logo, Arduino sister-brand. We are adding the Genuino logo to make it easier for the Arduino community to spot original boards and we are going to include this logo to all genuine Arduino boards from now on (like we did for the recently-released Arduino Zero).

As part of the many news we are going to release in the next few months, we are glad to announce today a new Arduino Store completely based in the USA. Check it out at store-usa.arduino.cc, and discover some interesting features:

• New Arduino products soon available for the US market only
• Shipping within North America is cheaper and faster, since we send items directly from the US via FedEx and USPS
• New design, completely responsive, purchase items from mobiles and tablets too
• Very fast!
• Checkout is 100% security compliant with PCI DSS
• Easy way to find and share your favourite products via social networks

It is a pleasure to announce it right after the success of Arduino Day Events all over the world!
