[sdiy] Nifty Arduinofamily device - Ardweeny

[Tom Arnold]

Wanted to mention this little guy since I've been eating'em like popcorn
lately.

The Solarbiotics Ardweeny.

Its a Mega328 with a little circuit board you solder on top that holds all
the arduino bits ( serial port, reset button ) and has the 16mhz resonator.
The chip still fits in a standard socket with no problem.  

I originally bought one to use while breadboarding, but at $10ea they are
cheap enough that I've just started using them in projects and leaving them
there.  If you are tight on space you can mount the parts under the board,
use a right angle connector and an SMD LED and shave 3mm or so.

Its cheap enough and easy enough to deal with that I've started using'em to
replace logic.  Yeah, cleaner ways to do it but this is just so easy...
