Hi there,

From wherever you are tuning in, I hope summer is in the air (or a mild winter for those of you down south!). Here at Blues we've got a big summer planned with new products and improvements on the way. Case in point: check out what we're cooking up with Arduino below…

P.S. In early June we're launching (pun intended) Starnote, our satellite IoT backup device. Register to attend the webinar for our launch webinar on May 29th! 💙

Blues + Arduino

We just announced Notecarrier R, a small form-factor Notecarrier similar to the Notecarrier B, but with an ESLOV connector for working with Arduino MKR and PRO Portenta boards. It's the first of some exciting announcements coming from Blues and Arduino.

Try NTN (Satellite) Mode

We've pushed Notecard firmware updates v7.2.2 (developer release) and v6.2.2 (LTS release) and a key feature of both is the ability to start using NTN mode (Non-Terrestrial Network a.k.a. satellite), meaning you can start developing a Starnote-based product today without having the physical hardware.

New Project Tutorials

It's been a while since we showed off some of our community's Blues-based projects! Check out this Cellular IoT Network Creator Kit 🛠️, an OpenCV Based Fire Detection System 🔥, a new way to Revolutionize Agriculture Security 🌽, and Controlling a Robotic Arm 🦾.
