What is a SimpleDuino?

SimpleDuino is a single sided arduino compatible board. This board does not follow the standard Arduino pinout for shields and requires a serial connection either via FTDI, using an Arduino as an ISP or a direct serial connection via parallel.

Parts List:

MKI:

• ATmega168 or ATmega328
• 2x 22pF capacitors
• 1x 16MHz crystal
• 1x 5mm LED
• 1x momentary button
• 1x 10k resistor
• 1x 220 ohm resistor
• Your choice of male or female headers

MKII & III:

• All parts from MKI list
• L7805 or LM7805 voltage regulator
• 2x 10uF capacitors

 

NB: J3 (comming from ATmega pin 1) requires a wire link soldered to J4 (under RST pin on the programming header). [only applicable for MKI & MKII boards]

 

Changelog:

MKII:

• Added a voltage regulator to allow input from a range of power supplies between 7.5 and 25v. Header pins are still available for a regulated 5v input.

MKIII:

• Reduced footprint to around 70 x 31mm (2¾ x 1¼").
• Removed the programming header to save space, use the following pinout for programming:

1. MOSI use D11
2. MISO use D12
3. SCK use D13
4. RST use Reset (ATmega pin 1) 

     Components ID:

• C1,C2 = 10uF
• C3,C4 = 22pF
• R1 = 10k
• R2 = 220 ohm

Update: I have released a revision for each board solving an issue that causes the SimpleDuino to continually re-set (all good now).

 

It's my first go at Fritzing so please let me know if there are any errors.
