Arduino launches an industrial board at CES: Arduino boards are cheap computing boards used for controlling motors, lights, and the things in the IoT. The development boards are part of classrooms and prototypes, and now the open-source organization behind the board is launching the Portenta family of professional-grade products. The newly launched Portenta H7 module relies on a dual-core Arm Cortex-M7 and Cortex-M4 operating at 480MHz and 240MHz, respectively, for processing power and has industrial-grade components that can run in extreme environments. The Portenta H7 runs Arduino code, Python and JavaScript, which broadens the base of potential users considerably. The new Arduino Portenta H7 costs $99 and will ship in February 2020. (Arduino)
