Intel's $30 Arduino 101 board lets you make wearables and robots at home

For $30, Intel's Arduino 101 board provides an easy path for makers to build a wearable computer, a mini-robot or a smart appliance for the home. The tiny board, which went on sale this week, fits in the palm of your hand and includes Intel's button-sized Curie wireless compute module. The Arduino board has wireless circuitry, sensors and expansion ports, and is now available from Mouser Electronics. This is the first developer board with Curie, which was announced a year ago at CES. But the best Curie demonstrations were at this year's show.
