When it came time to present the project, they wanted to find a way to be able to pass a Clunke button around the audience and have it do something when pressed. and his team devised the Clunke Button in collaboration with the local United Cerebral Palsy chapter as part of their senior design project. Aside from the printed files, all you really need to make a Clunke button is one Cherry MX in your favorite shade of blue, blue, or blue, and either a 3.5mm mono jack or plug, depending on preference. thinks they should cost way less than that and set out to make buttons for about $10 in materials. Because of this, people make their own simple switches, but these aren’t usually sturdy or long-lasting. They’re a simple piece of technology that makes a world of difference, but for some reason, they cost around $65 each. These buttons can be used with any appliance or toy that can be adapted for mono input. There isn’t much to them, just a switch wired up to a 3.5mm mono plug or jack, but the switch is installed in a large button housing that’s easy to operate.

ARM has no press release on the deal as we write this. We frankly can’t make sense of these conflicting statements, at least regarding whether ARM did or didn’t contribute monetary resources to the deal. The founders + Fabio Violante still own the company. As I wrote in the blog post we are still independent, open source and cross platform.” “Hi arm did not buy nor invest in arduino. We reached out to for clarification and he replied: Or as the Arduino website puts it, “In order to make his a reality, we needed a partner that would provide us with the resources to regain full ownership of Arduino as a company… and Arm graciously agreed to support us to complete the operation.” That, and the rest of the Arduino blog post, sure looks like ARM provided some funds to buy back Arduino. We can speculate, however, that buying out half of the Arduino AG wasn’t cheap, and that even pooling all of their resources together, the original founders just didn’t have the scratch to buy out. The murky thing about privately held companies and out-of-court settlements is that all of the details remain private, so we can only guess from outside. And then, and the original founders bought out ’s shares and took over. The Arduino vs Arduino saga “ ended” just under a year ago with an out-of-court settlement that created a private holding company part-owned by both parties in the prior dispute over the trademark. Whose chips are on the table? Whose money talks? It looks like ARM could have a stake! Who owns Arduino? We don’t mean metaphorically - we’d say that’s the community of users and developers who’ve all contributed to this amazing hardware/software ecosystem.
