The $15 Wiring Board
This was started out as one of my things for Thing-A-Day (2008) (http://www.thing-a-day.com/2008/02/22/day-22-thing-22-the-15-wiring-board/) This follows my work getting the wiring software platform working on some generic mega128 boards. It is somehow related to my work on reducing the costs of the Arduino runtime to less than $4 I recently found the code for an Stk500v2… Read more »

Dorkbotpdx Arduino Programmer
Last week Eric (dr twist) and I got carried away and scored 100 Really Bare Bones Boards (rev A) from wulfden (http://www.wulfden.org/freeduino/freeduino.shtml) for $1.10 a board with shipping, along with the last group order which we ordered enough parts to make the 100 into “kits”. In order to program the 168s I built a programmer around Dean Camera’s “Buttload” (http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com/ButtLoad.php) butterfly based programmer and the 28 pin ziff socket that Paul Stoffregen (http://dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/PaulStoffregen) offered to loan us.
