Arduino Unveils Ventuno Q: AI-Powered Board with 2026 Launch, Under $300 Target
March 9, 2026
Ventuno Q targets a price under $300 and is slated for release in Q2 2026, with distribution through the Arduino Store and various retailers.
Arduino unveils the Ventuno Q, a board designed for edge AI, robotics, and actuation, powered by Qualcomm Dragonwing IQ8 Series for on-board AI processing and real-time control.
The system offers up to 16GB RAM, up to 64GB eMMC, and a dual-storage option via an M.2 NVMe Gen 4 interface.
Development tooling includes Ubuntu/Linux Debian on the main processor, Arduino Core on Zephyr OS for the microcontroller, and integration with Arduino App Lab and Edge Impulse Studio for offline AI model deployment.
Availability is planned for 2026, with broader rollout expected later in the year.
Details on additional specifications or pricing were not disclosed in the announcement.
The SBC features a Raspberry Pi-style 40-pin GPIO header, compatibility with Arduino Uno shields, and solderless Qwiic connectors for easy peripheral integration.
Arduino situates Ventuno Q within the UNO Q lineage, noting the 21st anniversary and signaling that further details and pricing will be revealed on the Arduino website.
As a cheaper option, Uno Q is highlighted as an Arduino-branded SBC available in the Arduino Store on Amazon.
The design emphasizes UNO shield compatibility and broader ecosystem hardware to ease the shift from maker boards to AI development.
Initial availability will be through the Arduino Store and retailers including DigiKey, Farnell, Mouser, and RS.
Shipping is planned in Q2 2026 from Arduino Store and listed resellers.
