We first covered Mobli way back in 2012 as it passed the two million-user milestone and introduced Facebook Timeline integration. The Leonardo DiCaprio-backed startup raised another $22 million funding round later that year, before going on to nab a rather chunky $60 million six months ago.

The Arduino has become the darling of the electronics platforming world, with its easy to use software and hardware. The littleBits magnetically connected electronics modules have made a splash of their own in the world of electronic tinkerers. So it was just a matter of time before these two came together. Today, littleBits introduced the Arduino at Heart module. The new programmable module connects to the entire line of littleBits magnetic modules that include lights, speakers, motors, switches, sensors and more. Like the standalone Arduino, hardware and software developers can write tiny programs for the device with the Arduino programming language. The programs are then loaded onto the…
