If you are one of us you have most definitely encountered this problem: Connecting your devices outdoors and powering them reliably is a pain point for any maker!<\/p>\n<p>One Dutch-based startup with the name of SODAQ offers a fantastic solution with their new Arduino-compatible microcontroller board: The Autonomo.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Autonomo.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11963\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Autonomo-300x132.jpg\" alt=\"Autonomo\" width=\"300\" height=\"132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Autonomo-300x132.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Autonomo.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The company stands for solar-powered data acquisition and has long-standing know how in powering devices remotely with nothing but a smartphone sized solar panel. Today they launched their new microcontroller board that compares to a matchbox in size. Available for as little as 30\u20ac, it hosts quite a few cool features: It is powered by the new Atmel Cortex M0+ 32bit and offers a beeslot for makers to use a vast array of different communication modules.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-11964\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Communication-Modules-300x44.jpg\" alt=\"Communication Modules\" width=\"300\" height=\"44\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Communication-Modules-300x44.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.seeedstudio.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Communication-Modules.jpg 680w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more is that the focus lies on outdoor applications that run efficiently and on extremely low power.
