The LattePanda is a new single-board PC with an Intel Atom Cherry Trail processor, Windows 10 software, and support for up to 4GB of RAM. It also has an Arduino-compatible co-processor and GPIO pins.

The former allows a wirelessly controlled Adruino device to execute commands on a Universal Windows Application. The latter allows an Arduino to access any Window 10 device’s hardware and sensors.

The Arduino Windows 10 operating system will enable the creation of projects combining the hardware-driving capability of Arduino with the software capabilities of Windows, say the two companies.

Microsoft is aiming at making Windows 10 the OS for all connected devices, and now it’s aiming at the Internet of Things by releasing a build for Raspberry Pi and Arduino. The developer preview ...

Sitting down and attempting to work with an Arduino board likely won’t result in much unless some training is involved. In that case, this is the bootcamp for you.

The Windows Remote Arduino, on the other hand, adds Arduino instructions to Universal Windows Applications. In other words, the Windows 10 apps that can run on any device form factor.

I assume in Windows 10 it can do pretty much everything. I'm guessing that'd make a headless setup a lot easier, and reduce the overhead for small devices like this too.

So I've had 16' of RGB LED's attached to an arduino attached to my PC. Just for 5V power and the occasional "control" by uploading a new sketch.

Windows 10 has all kinds of great stuff going on under the hood, but one of the most intriguing things is a special version designed for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Arduino-certified boards.
