My apple of eye. Is "Eyeduino" a better name? :) Just 18mm x 18mm!

Beautiful! One small tip: It would look even better if all the vias would be hidden under the µc...

I had planned to make it small, but I'll be making it fit the 1"x1". Still in progress.

Good luck—I've added you!

Nothing too fancy but fits in 1x1:

I'll add you. Double-check those pads for the QFP, though!
Are you sure? yes | no
thanks.
QFN actually. no pins.

Ah, ok—were they okay? they looked quite cramped.

Not one, but 3 boards under 1 inch. Actually one in 26mm long not 25.4 because of the chip dimension. But i can cut easy 0.6 and have the top chip bigger then the actual pcb. So, am i disqualified?
Are you sure? yes | no
Are you sure? yes | no
correct, but then what's the fun? that would be 3 pcb's with no individual functionality that can be of interest. They work as whole and that is the fun: 3 pcb's under 1 inch each, can give a fun device within a cube inch of PCB's. :-) Thanks anyway.

Hi I would like to submit the Lisa/S UAV autopilot to the contest.
http://wiki.paparazziuav.org/wiki/Lisa/S
It is a 20mm x 20mm (0.619sq/inch) fully autonomy capable autopilot. Even when you add on the 2.4GHz RC control and telemetry module (CyRF) it is still less than an inch of surface area: 0.852sq/inch :)
Here also the link with some better photos:

Piotr,
Could you create a hackaday.io project page for your project so I can add it? Thanks!
Are you sure? yes | no
Just did that: https://hackaday.io/project/7918-lisas-autopilot
Are you sure? yes | no
Added you to the list!

This is such a cool contest. Did you create it just for me? I would like to enter my OSHChip_V1.0 project.
https://hackaday.io/project/7212-oshchip-v10
At .350" x .780" it comes in at .273 square inches, so almost 4 copies per square inch. Can I enter 4 times :-)
It is a Cortex-M0 processor, 32K RAM, 256K Flash, assorted peripherals and Bluetooth Low Energy radio (nRF51822) packaged as a 16 pin DIP.
Are you sure? yes | no

I'll add you. Just so you know, you can make the board smaller than 1x1".
Are you sure? yes | no
Then I'll have to change the cr2032 into into a cr1220.... Hmm... yes. maybe that. But the battery lifetime will be severely affected.
But it would be rather cool to fit 9 pcs of the design onto a cheap 5x5cm pcb.
Are you sure? yes | no
You don't have to! If you would, maybe you could have two stacked? I think I remember some coin cell battery holders that did that. I was just pointing it out since the front had a lot of unused space.
Are you sure? yes | no
I bought some 'super capacitors' or 'gold capacitors' the other day to replace a button cell. I didn't do the math as to how long a charge would compare because my reasoning was reliability. A one Farad (1F) super capacitor is quite small.
Are you sure? yes | no
I think you might want to do the math anyways....
If I remember correctly a 1F 2.5 volt capacitor can hold just a bit over 1 Joule of energy. A bog standard CR2032 is about 1000J if discharged carefully.
That is three orders of magnitude in difference!
Are you sure? yes | no
How are you doing the math? I am using a 5v 1F cap - charging to 3v and then discharging to 2v and I get 277mAH for the capacitor when a button cell like CR2032 is about 225mAH.
Are you sure? yes | no
I didn't do the math. :-) I just picked rule-of-thumb values out of the top of my head. But let's do the maths and see...
Energy in a cap in Joules is 0.5*C(V2)
So you capacitor charged to 3 volts is holding in total 0.5*1*(3*3)=4.5 J if discharged all the way down to zero volts. You are only discharging down to 2 volts so there will be less.
So let's approximate that by taking the energy at 2 volts in the cap can subtracting that from 4.5J. 0.5*1*(2*2)=2J 4.5J-2J = 2.5 Joules extracted from a 1F cap during discharge from 3 volts down to 2 volts.
Ok, so let's look at the energy in a CR2032. 1 Joule is 1 Watt during 1 Second. As you said a CR2032 is about 225mAh and at 3 volts that will give us 0.225*3=0.675Wh. Multiply this by 3600 to get down to seconds and you'll end up with 0.675*3600=2430 Ws = 2430 Joules.
2.5J vs 2430J is almost exactly three orders of magnitude....
So.... How did you measure the 277mAh for your cap? Are you sure it's not 277 miliamp seconds?
Are you sure? yes | no
I used coulombs and I am still looking for where I went wrong.
