Beduino is an open source instrument, designed to simplify the process of creating electronic based art projects.

It can be used for music controllers, VJ controllers, MIDI instruments, dance triggers and body suits, interactive installations, driving LEDs, motor and robotic controls and much more...

It is based on the well-known Arduino platform, and 100% compatible with it, but intended to be used even without writing a single line of code.

Togehter with Beduino, we have developed a series of boards "ready to use" with Beduino, the Beduino Xtensions.

Just connect them to Beduino with a straight cable an use them!

Beduino was released during UmaneEnergie 2.0 exhibition, held in Perugia on 7-14 october 2007. It is currently in the production stage, but some pre-series protos (fully tested and working) are available since now. For any information, contact us.
