ZF did a review of the FTDI Vinculum board we covered earlier:
I just got hold of FTDI chip’s new Vinculo developing platform, so here’s a quick review for you!
Vinculo is a 25€ development platform for the FTDI Vinculum II (VNC2) dual USB host/slave microcontroller. The board design has been copied from Arduino, and they even advertise it as Arduino-inspired and Arduino shield compatible. FTDI seems to have realized the potential that comes when having a large hobbyist userbase…
Thanks ZF! Via the comments.
Does someone know what “VINCULO” means in Italian? AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
I had always wondered. It sounds rude to me :)
ahahhahahahaha…epic fail!
LOL, I’ve just noticed they finally changed the epic name of this board, maybe they hired some italian guy ;)
i think arduino is an italian brand…somehow… ;-)
