Sanguino?

This looks like a 40 pin ATMega 644 dip in an arduinoish shield compatible formfactor. Am I right? Am I way wrong??

Thats a teensy++,

The cool board with the dumb name. http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/index.html

More info?

I'd love to learn more about this board and others that have been submitted! Is there a page with submitted files (er, submissions that people are willing to share)?

I could upload the gerbers

I could upload the gerbers if anyone wants them, though maybe it'd be worthwhile to first get these boards tested and make sure I didn't mess up anything.

For this one, I'm planning to eventually borrow or buy a many of the more popular Arduino shields and test them. Those groups of pads near pins 2 to 13, and A4-5 are jumpers, so you can map the shield pins to either 2 to 13, or to specific pins that have the same built-in peripherals as the Arduino pins. Pretty much all those peripherals exist in Teensy++, but they aren't necessarily on the same pins, and lots of shields are designed with code that makes direct hardware access. So each shield needs to be tested and the specific jumper settings for that shield need to be documented.

Nice

That breaks out some of the pins from the middle of the board that I've been wanting to use and labels the communication pins. I was going to pick up another standard Arduino board at Makers Faire but now I think that this board would be a better option.

Hi William. You're welcome

Hi William. You're welcome to have one of the 3 boards, for whatever Laen's charging me for it. I really only need 1 for testing.

I think the size was about 2.6 by 2.1 inches. $5 * 5.46 / 3 = $9.10. Maybe that doesn't work out to such a great deal? You decide. It's yours if you want it.
