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 »

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… Read more »
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 .

Benito: My first at90USB162 project.
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. In the case of the Atmel and Phillips chips, a… Read more »
Arduino Programmer
This was started at http://www.thing-a-day.com/2008/02/04/day-4-thing-4-aduino-adaboot-programmer/ It is part of the way that I do programming on the avr platform and the Arduino. I was using the programming half of a a bulky prototype that I have been working on to program an RBBa based maze solving mouse and I looked at the pile hanging precariously… Read more »
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 »
NDA Rolls (Apple Verses its Developers)
I have spent more of last week wondering why X-Code wasnt signing my code and loading it onto the phone than successfully The introduction of the Iphone and the apple SDK for it seems to have created massive confusion and hurt for the two communities most effected by it.
