## Description

The Arduino Fio (Funnel I/O) is a compact, wireless-friendly development board based on the ATmega328P. Designed by Shigeru Kobayashi and inspired by the LilyPad, the Fio includes a built-in lithium polymer battery connector with USB charging circuit, and an XBee socket on the underside for wireless communication and over-the-air programming. The Fio is compatible with the Funnel toolkit, allowing you to interface with sensors and actuators using ActionScript 3, Processing, and Ruby. It's designed to be wirelessly reprogrammable via XBee, making it ideal for remote and embedded wireless projects. Key Features ATmega328P Microcontroller – Arduino-compatible with familiar programming environment XBee Socket – Built-in socket on the underside for XBee wireless modules LiPo Battery Support – JST connector with built-in USB charge circuit Wireless Bootloading – Reprogram over-the-air via XBee without a physical connection Compact Form Factor – LilyPad-inspired design for embedded applications Note: The mini USB connector is for battery charging only. To upload firmware via serial, you'll need an FTDI Basic, FTDI cable, or other USB-to-serial adapter. The XBee socket and FTDI connection share the same TX/RX pins — remove the XBee module before reprogramming over serial. Wireless bootloading is recommended to avoid this step. Ideal For Wireless sensor networks using XBee Battery-powered remote monitoring Embedded IoT projects requiring over-the-air updates Funnel toolkit projects with Processing or Ruby
