Description
The Autonomo is a matchbox-sized Arduino compatible board which uses the Atmel Cortex M0+ 32bit microcontroller. It was designed it to be autonomous (self-sufficient) by enabling it to be powered by a smartphone-sized solar panel. The goal was to create a device which would be able to run indefinitely using solar generated power. The Autonomo has been designed to run efficiently and with extremely low power consumption.
