Massimo Banzi —

We are thrilled to announce that as of today the official Arduino Store opens to beta testers. This restricted testing phase will be followed by a gradual release to the whole community.

It was quite and effort that required the redesign of our web infrastructure to unify the authentications systems to provide a uniform user experience.

The store is just at its beginning but it is already available in three languages English, Spanish and Italian. More languages will follow soon. It will become a place where to find the best products made by Arduino, its partners and all those companies or individuals who make great Arduino-compatible products.

We wanted to take this chance to reward the people who contribute the most to the Arduino community.

We’ll be starting with the forums. The top 5 contributors to the english forums and 1 member of each non-english forum will receive a 200 USD voucher to spend on the store.

As the test progresses we will be providing more vouchers to other kind of contributors (developers , documentation writers and more).

Stay tuned and thank you for your patience!
