Arduino Links

Lots of external Arduino Links

A very popular, AVR development board; uses the AVR so also see: AVR Links All the tools are free, you need the chip, a cable, and possibly a power supply. Software is free, chip programs via a bootloader, so no hardware programmer is needed ( unless you blow the bootloader ). May be the cheapest/easiest microcontroller for beginners. Popular with the technical artistic types ( googel DorkBot for more info on this type of person ). Most boards are set up to take plug in boards called "Shields" which add additional hardware to the base Arduino.

Key words to help you search the table.

• Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures
• Tutorial: a tutorial or how to
• Links: a link to more links
• Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
• Forum: for a forum, mail list and their ilk
• WebRing: for a Web Ring.
• Supply: for the boards and parts
• Shield: this are add on boards for adding functionality.

So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on "Projects".

With a little care, you can get two Fabios out of one 2"x3" single sided PCB. It uses all surface-mount parts, so there are no holes to drill. Alas, Fabio does not have shield connectors.
