Totally Open Arduino-Compatible Hardware Development



 
By default all Wulfden Dorkboards kits now come with the 28 pin ATmega328P. To take best advantage of the ADABootloader we ship in all of our chips, you will want to download the latest complete ADABoot package, about 110 KB, which has the proper additions to boards.txt for ADABoot168/328P/644P. It also has a complete set of bootloaders and core software for Freeduino systems with ADABoot. This file last updated on .

DorkBoard Kit Don Davis of Portland OR designed this board as the center piece of his awesome series of presentations, "Cult of Arduino Induction" at DorkBotPDX. The DorkBoard is about as minimalist as you can get and still be on a PCB. This is the ideal carrier board with the reset and resonator in place plus bypass and filtering caps

There is no programming adapter on board.If you have an RS232 serial port available (either legacy or USB-RS232) the P4 RS232-TTL adapter, also offered below. The nice part of this arrangement is that the programming adapter is a one time buy and can be re-used on other boards as opposed to Arduino(tm) boards with USB on every board!

  • There are assembly instructions for the DorkBoard available.
  • You are going to need to download the Arduino software, which is a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE) written in Java and available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

  • Note - the Digital Pin 13 LED is wired opposite to how Arduino/Freeduino does it. The LED is pulled up to Vcc, thus a logic LOW is neede to light the LED;
    • Arduino -- digitalWrite(13, HIGH) to turn LED ON
    • DorkBoard -- digitalWrite(13, LOW) to turn LED ON
    It's no big deal, but you need to keep it in mind if you want the LED "usually off", for example when blinking Morse code. You'll need to tweak some Arduino examples to get them working with the Dorkboard.
Arduino Resources DVD

DVD (currently containing over 1GB) with the latest Arduino, Wiring, Processing and Pure Data software in all three formats, Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. In addition, there is a collection of third party Arduino libraries and a raft of sample software. There's over 100 MB of PDF files containing reference materials, articles, tutorials and general interest material for Arduino. There is a folder of relevant data sheets for the Arduino processors, related devices and peripherals.

This disk is included FREE with any Freeduino order totalling over $50
