Introduction
This is a first take on using the Benito board to create an open source USB to Serial converter.

SPI4 USB to SPI converter

SPI4 is a MyUSB based firmware for the at90usb family of processors.
Missing Links and Moments of Truth.
Missing Links.
One of the joys of the Arduino Cult Induction Sessions is that mistakes and omissions are generally caught on the spot and there is no lag between the steps we forgot to include an the instructions and the person who’s board isn’t working.
NDA-ROX
I just spent the weekend with a few people who knew a lot more about programming the iphone than I did and several people that knew about as much as I did. I can tell you that the Portland group got the best of satellite category for our collectively built app. (If you look behind… Read more »
Arduino Code for Thought (spi slave)
This is something to chew on while I put together some bigger pieces.

Arduino Cult Induction Rev3 Followup
This group got further along than any induction so far. I was really happy and thank every one who came out. I have a couple of things here as a follow up that might be helpfull and if you leave comments or email me I can follow up here as well.
First here is a map of the dorkboard pins using the arduino pin numbering system.
Also here is the .inf file which makes the Benito use the built in windows drivers.

Arduino Cult Induction release3 — Introducing the DORKBOARD!!!
They’re HERE! (the Dorkboards have arrived)
And if you want to build one out you can get to the next arduino cult induction on the 27th of this month.
Stepper Motor Control With Arduino/Wiring
Here is a small example of using the arduino/wiring platform to control things in the real world.
A pretty good reference for the controlling stepper motors can be found at.

The following Circuit fleshes out the sketch at the site above.
Cables for DorkbotPDX Programmers (updated for benito7g and dorkboards).
In the course of the Arduino Cult Induction series and the group purchases, I have evolved several versions of the DorkbotPDX programmer and released them into the wild. Unfortunately the pinouts for the programming cable have evolved with the programmers so the cables are unique to each. With the batch of programmers we just purchased this will settle down Though the pinout may not make sense in this particular case it will be the same for at least 1000 boards.
Here is a quick guide to cables for the DorkbotPDX programming boards for the rbba and the dorkboard.
