Arduino + Qualcomm = DIY, AI, and Gaming Crossover

[etfs]

The Arduino-Qualcomm partnership links Qualcomm’s Snapdragon ecosystem to Arduino’s DIY community, potentially boosting AI, VR, and hobbyist projects.

Arduino will keep its open-source approach and support multi-vendor chips, while Qualcomm gains access to a massive maker base for education, gaming controllers, and AI experimentation.

The UNO Q ships Oct. 24, 2025, priced at $44, and targets prototyping, education, and creative projects.
