Happy Newyear !!!
This is my first blog post in this year.

I have received my first RFduino board. thanks to Manu.


"RFduino: An Arduino shrunk to the size of a finger-tip and made wireless!"Some of the project ideas and details can be found from http://www.rfduino.com/
Documentation from http://www.rfduino.com/documentation/index.html

Installation for windows 8.1:
Step 1: Download the Library From http://www.rfduino.com/download-rfduino-library/index.html
Step 2: Download and install the Arduino IDE from http://arduino.cc/en/main/software note that IDE version to be downloaded is 1.5.X now the current version is 1.5.8
Step 3: Download and install FTDI drivers. depending on the OS and processor. 32 bit or 64 bit.
Step 4: unzip the library downloaded from step 1 and place it under Arduino folder under "hardware\arduino"
eg: c:\program files\arduino\hardware\arduino
Step 5: connect rfduino
Run arduino IDE and make sure Rfduino is listed in Tools->boards. Select the same and choose the com port for the RFduino. This can be found from the device manager.
Some samples will be listed in the Example section in File menu.
You may now program the RFduino and create some fun projects.
I will be creating some example projects and will post the same. 
Planning to do some thing as simple as lighting LED using android phone (Yes not using iPhone) with RFduino.
