The Ultimate Prototyping Board:
Introduction
This is the second version of the Ultimate Prototype Board. Information about the first version can be found HERE
The Ultimate Prototype Board offers a slick solution to making your projects more permanent. Instead of clearing off your breadboard to make room for a new project, you can use this board to keep your projects forever! The board takes care of the Microcontroller and supporting circuitry for you as well as the programming headers, power entry, mounting holes, and clear labeling. Then you have the 'playground' section for your custom circuitry that you can solder directly to the board.
Features of the board:
- ATMEAG328 Microcontroller (28 pin Through Hole) support + Crystal/Caps
- AVR Programming Header
- Arduino Compatible Programming Header (USB-SERIAL)
- USB Power Input OR Barrel Jack Power
- Linear Voltage Regulator to Step voltage down for your projects
- Power Selection Jumpers - Choose where the microcontroller gets its power from Input Voltage or Regulated Voltage (see below)
- Power Switch
- x4 Mounting Holes (1/8")
- Board Dimensions 6"x3.2"
Purchase
The board is available through MKLEC
