Nice little breakout board for trying out the larger ATmega 40 pin DIP chips. This is truly bare bones, 7 capacitors, 2 resistors, 1 diode, 1 16mHz crystal, reset switch, headers, 40 pin DIP socket and the AT1284P (PU) chip. Can easily be used with the standard Arduino IDE. USB connection needs to be made via an FTDI lead to the six pin header on the board. Board size is 89mm x 40mm, the board is lead free through hole plated, blue solder mask, hot air levelled and the majority of pins brought out to headers. There is no regulated supply on board, so you can rely on the USB power or there are 3 pairs of VCC and Ground pins on headers for you to connect your power supply to. The beauty of these chips is that they have 2 UART serial connections so communictaion to and from various devices becomes easier. Arduino IDE setup will be supplied as pdf's or doc's on purchase via a wetransfer link. This board has been tested on Arduino IDE 1.01 & 1.6.5 and in the documents I will explain how to load the board data for both IDE versions. Other options are available on Tindie click here
