From prototype to PCB with Fritzing

I’ve been trying different electronic design automation tools and I came across a great application that lets you document your breadboard projects and get PCB layouts automatically generated. Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to take the step from physical prototyping to actual product. Fritzing is available for Mac […]

Build your own paper arduino with PAPERduino

Guilherme Martins has put together what might be considered as the cheapest, easiest, do it yourself arduino clone: the PAPERduino. Because there’s no direct USB connection you’ll either need a USB TTL-32 cable or an FTDI basic breakout to communicate with the ATMega168. This is a fully functional version of the Arduino. We eliminated the […]

RBBB boards come in three flavors: as a kit with all the required components, fully assembled or just the board itself. This is a mini board designed for those experimental applications that require […]
