For all things dorkboard. Yeah!

The Dorkboard is a bare bones arduino clone designed by PDX Dork Donald (feurig) Davis and is produced by Tempus Dictum, Inc.

You can purchase dorkboards and kits through Wulfden(http://www.wulfden.org/TheShoppe/freeduino/dorkboard.shtml) or through the DorkbotPDX group order (http://www.dorkbotpdx.org/wiki/dorkbotpdx_group_ordering).

Don has a few assorted goodies, including a schematic, pinout, and short instructions for downloading and uploading in this blog entry: http://dorkbotpdx.org/blog/feurig/missing_links_and_moments_of_truth

Here's a pinout as viewed from the to side as well as a parts placement diagram. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3188/2712641444_0a75aa1cd2.jpg

As of this writing, the latest firmware for the Benito programmer can be downloaded here:

NOTE: This is not the Dorkboard atmega168 bootloader firmware, but the firmware for the Benito programmer itself.

There is a visual assembly tutorial online that shows you how to build your Dorkboard kit.
