Totally Open Arduino-Compatible Hardware Development

Wulfden Sanguino Kit - Using the honking big brother of the'168, the ATmega644P, a Sanguino board has four times the flash/RAM/EEPROM and an extra hardware serial port. It has almost twice as many digital I/O ports and 8 instead of 6 analog to digital ports. Zack Smith, a.k.a. "Hoeken", has created a good solid board that essentially is an RBBB/Boarduino/iDuino scaled up to take the 40 pin 644P. Wulfden is buying the boards and building up complete kits for sale using the high quality parts you have come to expect from us at a competetive price..

Rock Bottom Sanguino Kit (RBSK) - This item is now called the RBFK644 and can now be found on the RBFK Page

Wulfden Sanguino Shield Kit - the Shield Kit is essentially original Sanguino PCB expanded several inches on each side (see pix above) to provide access to the i/o pins. There are several rows of solder points as well as mounting spaces for standard screw terminal blocks. It is offered as a complete Sanguino kit, building the 644P right on the shield board, or as a mounting kit with socket headers onto which a standard Sanguino board can be plugged

To adapt the Arduino IDE to the Sanguino/ATmega644P, 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/Snaguino systems with ADABoot. This file last updated on .

Sanguino Resources - links to various manuals and websites.

• Several manuals area available, such as the Sanguino Hardware Information
• Assembly of the kit - Sanguino Build-It
• For more information go to Zack's Sanguino website.
• One of my Sanguino customers, Bob Cochran, has written up and photographed his experiences with building and using the Sanguino board. This is a link to Part I of his two part weblog.

There have been several price hikes in key items in the Sanguino kits, the biggest hike of all in the price of the ATMEGA644P chip. It has come to my attention that well over 90% of my Sanguino customers make no use of the JTAG connector. This is the bright blue 10 pin (2x5) IDC connector located back near the power supply with a wholesale cost near a dollar. Effective immediately the JTAG connector will no longer be included in the kit. There will be no change in price of the kit. The JTAG connector will be available for an additional $1.00, when purchased with a Sanguino kit.

Assembled and Tested Options

The Sanguino kits can be purchased already assembled and tested for a modest surcharge. You will need to purchase one Assembly Surcharge for each kit you wish to have assembled.

Sanguino 1.0 Kit ($10.00)

Sanguino Shield Kit - w/o terminals ($10.00)

Sanguino Shield Kit - with terminals ($15.00)

Sanguino Shield Mounting Kit ($7.00)

BUB

A USB Serial Programming Adapter. Based on the same chip, the BUB's electrical and software interface is identical to the familiar FTDI TTL-232 cable. Requires USB mini-B cable. Can be readily used for many other projects besides the Sanguino. For detailed info see my Programming Adapter page.

P4B

An RS232 Serial Programming Adapter - If you have a computer with a legacy RS232 serial port or a USB/RS232 adapter that supports DTR, this inexpensive RS232/TTL serial adapter will let you upload sketches and send/receive data to the Sanguino using the Arduino IDE. Bob Cochrane has a writeup on using the P4B with the Sanguino.
