The developers of the latest coin sized Arduino compatible board believes that the potential are tremendous in terms of applications for   microcomputers that can link to a Smartphone or tablet.

The “RFduino” is an open-source; standalone board that is so versatile it can be conveniently placed in any designs regardless if you’re a hobbyist doing simple projects or an engineer doing designs for a client.

Kazanchian says you can do things like wirelessly monitor temperatures, remotely measure battery voltages, control multicolor LED lighting, drive LCD displays and play with iPhone-controlled RC cars running your Arduino sketches.

The 2.4Ghz board comes with a powerful 32bit ARM Cortex processor and can be turned on by bench power supply, wall outlet, and USB or coin cell battery.

This small coin size “RFduino” was created by electrical engineer Armen Kazanchian of Open Source RF base in Hermosa Beach California.

The “RFduino” is currently posted in Kickstarter trying to find investors to fund the project in large scale production together with its accessory board.

The “RFduino” comes with a Bluetooth v4.0 device that can enable your Smartphone to control and command your project.
