Arduino announces gold sponsorship of Maker Faire Rome 2026. The company will present new products, including the USB Camera and the Nano Matter Board with Zigbee 3.0 support.

The event will take place from October 23 to 25, and Arduino will have a booth (N.02) on site. The USB Camera is an official accessory for edge computer vision, offering HD video, a built-in microphone, adjustable lighting and support for local AI models. The Nano Matter Board makes it possible to compile sketches with the Zigbee 3.0 stack, expanding the possibilities for integration with wireless networks. In addition, Arduino will launch the UNO Q, VENTUNO Q and USB Camera at the event. The USB Camera will be released on October 15, 2026, but there is no information about availability in Brazil.

The UNO R4 WiFi can run an optimized weather station application, showing the potential for integration with sensors and local processing. Arduino's presence at Maker Faire Rome 2026 is an opportunity to showcase hardware and software innovations for makers and developers. Booth N.02 will be the meeting point. The event date coincides with the USB Camera launch, but the Brazilian public still doesn't know whether the accessory will be available in the country. Arduino's gold sponsorship of the event reinforces its importance for the maker and developer community.

USB Camera expands edge computer vision

Arduino shifts the communication focus of the Nano Matter Board to Zigbee 3.0 and gains a new edge computer vision tool with the USB Camera. This changes how makers integrate sensors and actuators in complex projects. This combination allows edge computer vision projects to be built with greater precision and autonomy. The UNO R4 WiFi version can also run an optimized weather station application, showing the processing capability of the new chipset.

Still unconfirmed

  • There is no data on prices for the new products.
