There were a few lessons that I learned at the Arduino Cult induction workshop that I put together this month. One of which was that I needed to simplify my programmer design on the cable end and not wait until I had a full blown product. Revisiting the original I first revised the ftdi boards… Read more »

Arduino Cult Induction — Follow up part 1.
First of all I was really happy that so many people showed up and got as far into their construction as they did.
27 people and only one dead board.
I now know that getting all of that done in under 3 hours was a little ambitious. (The pacing was initially based on the photo session at http://www.flickr.com/photos/7175086@N05/sets/72157604783725339/ which took 20 minutes from start to finish)
For those of you who were unable to finish the cable Jacob Hedwig has provided a clear picture of a working cable at
Benito: My first at90USB162 project.
Note: This work is ongoing see the Benito info page for current info…
Introduction.
The Benito Board is an at90USB162 board intended for use in programming and communicating with microcontrollers which have serial based bootloaders.
Among those are the Phillips lpc21xx series ARM chips, the Dallas Semiconductor, DS500x family and Atmels using any number of STK500 compatible bootloaders.
MyUsb and the DTR pin.
It seems like all I do nowadays is to try to decipher other peoples code. Which make a body feel a lot like a teething toddler. One of my projects is an an avr programmer based on the new AT90USB using Dean Camera’s MyUSB library. In it there are two examples using the driverless serial… Read more »
Breadboard Thingy (rethinking the ft323rl board)
I sent my son to his mom’s with one of the USB Serial boards I built along with a breadboard, an RBBA a pile of resistors and an led array. I thought about this arrangement and decided that I would try to build a breadboard attached programmer that would not be dangling off the edge of the board and in the way.

A single sided ft232rl based arduino programming board.
I was so happy with the boards I did the other day that I decided to make some small boards for the ft232 so that aidan would have a programmer for his breadboard RBBA. I made 20 of these boards .

A single sided ft232rl based arduino programming board.
I was so happy with the boards I did the other day that I decided to make some small boards for the ft232 so that aidan would have a programmer for his breadboard RBBA. I made 20 of these boards so if anyone wants one they can order the following parts to the group order.
| QTY | Supplier | Part number | description | cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DIGIKEY | 604-00043-ND | IC FTDI FT232RL USB-SRL 28-SSOP | 4.02 |
