Arduino UNO Q Arcade bundle lets you build a retro home arcade
EDITOR BRIEF
Arduino is offering an UNO Q Arcade bundle with a step-by-step tutorial that helps you build a small arcade cabinet in a few hours. The board runs RetroArch on its Debian Linux side, uses HDMI for video and USB for audio, and the bundle includes Modulino Buttons, Joystick, and Movement nodes that connect without complex wiring. It also mentions open-source Godot for making your own games.
INSIGHTS
This is a practical project for learning how hardware and software fit together, from wiring inputs to running emulation and game software. A good next step is to follow the Project Hub tutorial and experiment with one input control, like mapping the joystick to a game action.
