Arduino and Freeduino Knowledge

Arduino and Freeduino Knowledge

"An evolving index of practical subjects for the Arduinotm and Freeduino microcontrollers, as found in the Arduino site, Playground wiki, forum and that big WWW thing."

Modern Device Company

Bare-Bones Board (BBB) and Real Bare-Bones Board (RBBB) for use in bread-boards with the FTDI USB-to-TTL-Serial cable. Available as bare PCBs, in kits, or pre-assembled. The BBB solderless breadboard advantage. - Here is a Bare-Bones Board on a breadboard with 6 LED's. Note the two pins on the right side which power the breadboard buses. Note the way the BBB maximizes breadboard space and makes it easy to get an LED and a resistor lined up with a breadboard pin. Try this with a traditional Arduino and you have a rats nest of wires.

Arduino Open-source Electronics Prototyping

Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible, easy-to-use hardware and software. It's intended for artists, designers, hobbyists, and anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Arduino

The Arduino board is a cheap, robust i/o board based on the ATmega168. It has 13 digital pins (6 of which allow PWM output) and 6 analog inputs. There are USB, serial, bluetooth, and mini versions,

Build. Schematics and PCB layouts. Assembly instructions: soldering a PCB or on a breadboard (either way, you'll need a bootloader).

The open-source Arduino Environment makes it easy to write code and upload it to the i/o board. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.

Download. From the software page. Learn. From the tutorials.

Adafruit Ethernet (XPort) shield for Arduino kit Adafruit Ethernet (XPort) shield for Arduino kit

"This is a shield for Arduinos that allows use of an XPort, XPort direct, or XPort Direct+ module. Here is a comparison sheet (from GridConnect) about the differences between the three modules.

There is a 3.3V - 250mA power supply on-board for powering the XPort from USB or DC power. Arduino reset button and 6-pin ISP header brought up top for easy development!"
