minDUINO

I have now recieved, built and tested both the minDUINO v1.5 and v1.6 boards. They operate fine so I hve published all the design files, including zipped Gerber files for fabrication, on my website http://www.ProjectAVR.com Feel free to use these files under Creative Commons v4.0 BY-SA Licencing.

The v1.6 board is specifically meant for programming, hence the ZIF Socket for convenience. I am thinking of designing one more variant which will be a v1.6 board with a prototyping area added to facilitate experimentation.

I have received and built and tested a minDUINO v1.5 board. It operates as expected and the FTDI header now suits the FT232 module that I purchased on eBay. I also tried out a resonator instead of a crystal and that's all good too. I usually have my boards fabricated in Blue but I chose Red this time, just for something different.

Hopefully the v1.6 boards will arrive shortly and I can test those too.

I like to check that I haven't made any major bloomers on my boards before I publish them. Despite this, you can access the minDUINO v1.5 files here:

Use at your own risk. I am expecting the fabricated boards any day along with the v1.6 boards which accommodate a 28-pin ZIF socket. Once I have verified that both boards are correct and operate correctly, I will publish all of the design files on the ProjectAVR website.

I'd love to hear if anyone else gets a board fabricated and what it is/has been used for. Please feel free to get in touch steve(at)projectavr(dot)com
