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.

And this is very handy for mapping between the arduino and the rest of the world.

If you are using someone else's programmer you might want to look at this. http://dorkbotpdx.org/blog/feurig/using_the_dorkboard_with_other_peoples_programmers

As of this writing, the latest firmware for the Benito programmer is Paul Stoffregon's alternative firmware which can be downloaded here:

NOTE: This is not the Dorkboard's bootloader firmware, but the firmware for the Benito programmer itself, The dorkboard's firmware is the standard uno firmware.

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