Construction! You have a breadboard that needs an Arduino - Get to work! Never soldered before? Download a copy of our soldering tutorial here: http://downloads.solarbotics.com/pdf/solderingtutorial.pdf Step 1 - 0.1µF Capacitors: One is for power filtration, the other is part of the auto-reset function when a program is finished uploading. Stick one in position ‘C1’, and the other in position ‘C2’. Step 1: 2 x 0.

Construction! Step 4: Install 16MHz Resonator to position ‘Xtl’ Step 4 - 16MHz Resonator: This gets installed in position ‘Xtl’. It doesn’t matter which-wayaround it goes in. Step 5 - LED: It’s an Arduinoclone. It has to have a pin-13 LED installed onboard! Unlike the resonator, make sure you have the shorter lead in the square pad (or just make sure the LED matches the outline on the PCB).

Construction! Step 9 - Installing the microcontroller: Now we are getting to the best part installing the microcontroller! The important part is to get it in the right-way around. Note the little curve printed on the PCB, and make sure it matches the notch on the microcontroller. Slide the microcontroller in between the legs so it grips the wide-portion of the legs. When you are happy with the fit, lightly solder the pins in place.

Using It! What’s great about the Ardweeny is that it takes up the same footprint as a microcontroller by itself. You simply plug it into your breadboard or PCB, and jack in your programming header. Set the Board in your Arduino IDE as the “Arduino Uno”, and treat it like any other Arduino! The pin-out matches the FTDI breakout cable standard, or the SparkFun FTDI Basic Breakout adapter (our part 50510). The plug’s GND line (also marked “BLK”) matches the Ardweeny pin marked with the “-”.

The Solarbotics Ardweeny: The smallest Arduino-compatible Kit! We love Arduino. Those Italians know how to design an excellent microcontroller platform and share it with the world. And Mr. Kimio Kosaka’s “One-Chip-Arduino” project inspired us to develop the Ardweeny; the smallest Arduino you can build yourself with through-hole components! We’ve designed a backpack printed-circuit board the fits on top of an Atmel ATmega328 (it’d fit on a ‘168 too), straddling it.
