Planet Arduino

After the successful launch of the new Project Hub at the end of last year, we are ready for a new challenge and the opportunity for you to be rewarded for your awesome work.

Starting February 1st, we are launching a new ‘Arduino Project of the Month’ competition for everyone in our community. 

Simply share your best project on the new Project Hub.

Every month, our team will then select up to three projects and their creators will receive fabulous gifts!

• First selected will receive a gift card worth $500.
• Second selected will receive a gift card worth $300
• Third selected will  receive a gift card worth $100.

(Gift cards can only be redeemed on the Arduino Store.)

We will officially start considering projects uploaded after February 1, 2023.

Please keep in mind the general rules to enter the competition:

• All the participants must be 18+ years of age.
• All projects accepted for Project Hub will be evaluated by the Arduino Team. If your project is shortlisted you will be contacted with further instructions.
• Please make sure that you are uploading your project using your Arduino account. Projects submitted using Hackster.io accounts will not be accepted.
• The Arduino team will evaluate the projects based on the quality of the project itself, not on the number of projects a user updates. But obviously the more projects you add, the more you increase your chances of  being selected.
• Projects submitted by companies won’t be considered part of this competition.
• The Arduino Team is solely responsible for monthly selection(s). Each selection is final and will not be amended.
• Projects can only be submitted to the challenge once. It is not permitted to delete a project and then re-submit it again in the following month(s).
• Complete Terms and Conditions can be found here.

So, what are you waiting for? Upload your project on the new Arduino Project Hub for a chance to receive a $500 gift card to help make your next project even more amazing!

Encouraging people to share projects and tutorials has always been central to Arduino’s mission of democratizing technology. Learning from the work of others is very important  as we always felt that most makers like to start from an existing project and evolve from their own creation. If you’ve been following Arduino for a while you know we went through a few tools in our history, from “Playground” to “Scuola” arriving at our current “Project Hub” in search of always simpler and better ways to share.

In 2014, we collaborated with Hackster.io to establish “Project Hub”, based on the Hackster platform. Together we grew a space that hosts thousands of well-documented projects submitted by all of you. Although this partnership is very important to us, Arduino will move Project Hub in-house. Building our own project sharing platform allows us to further integrate with Arduino Cloud and better align with our new features.

Here’s what to expect: The new Project Hub will launch in beta on December 29th and will be available at the usual address https://arduino.cc/projecthub — bookmark it now! The old Project Hub will no longer be available after the end of December.

If you have created your projects with an Arduino account they will be automatically migrated to the new platform with this schedule:

• Phase 1: Projects created before August 2022 will be available on the new platform on January 1, 2023.
• Phase 2: New projects created between September 2022 and December 2022 will be available on the new platform on February 1, 2023.

If you’ve used your Hackster.io account you’ll have to re-register on Arduino and transfer them manually.

We are planning an amazing competition with great prizes to encourage users to share even more projects. We really want to break all the records. Stay tuned for the details that will be announced in January.

We want to thank Hackster.io for all the help and support throughout the years and we can’t wait to  continue exploring our partnership, bringing more engaging activities to our global communities.

The Arduino Project Hub (powered by Hackster.io) is a community dedicated to discovering how fun and rewarding tinkering with electronics and software can be, so any project made with Arduino and Genuino boards is welcome! Each day, the Arduino Team will select some of the best tutorials and highlight them on our social channels.

The Arduino Project Hub is also a great place to keep your latest projects and easily share them with your friends, students and the rest of the community!

If you have tutorials and articles on other platforms, we’ve got some good news! There is a cool import function so you can just paste the link and we’ll take care of the transfer. When you click on ‘New Project’ you will be presented with two options, create a tutorial from scratch or import one via URL.

Read this tutorial to learn more.

We are finally ready to release create.arduino.cc, the Arduino platform that will provide the community with a more modern and flexible tool to write code, a more integrated way of accessing content and learning while doing.

While we are still busy refining the web-based Editor (IDE) based on the feedback of the current beta-testing program, we are really excited to launch Arduino Project Hub, our tutorial platform powered by hackster.io. We cannot wait to see all the projects made with Arduino and Genuino boards that you will submit! Comment on the tutorials you are curious about, and ‘Respect’ the ones you like the most. We will feature the best projects on the Arduino Blog!

Within create.arduino.cc you will be also able to access a new website focused on Internet of Things. Arduino IoT collects inspiring tutorials, and provides guidance for anyone who wants to get started tinkering with the Internet of Things. Most importantly it presents the “Arduino IoT Manifesto”, an important statement that will guide the development of our IoT products and tools in the coming years, and that we hope will be adopted by a larger network of people and industries. We propose these three principles for the future of this burgeoning industry: Open, Sustainable and Fair!

As usual if you encounter any issue, or you have an idea you want to share, please let us know on the Arduino Forum, we’d love to hear your feedback!

The Arduino MKR1000 is now shipping. But perhaps more importantly, comes the announcement of both Arduino's next generation community platform, and a new cloud development environment.
