I’m very pleased to report that the minDUINO v1.7 boards have arrived and are excellent! Fabricated by the fantastic Hackvana. They have never failed to deliver a top quality product.

minDUINO v1.7 Prototyping Edition

I’m very much looking forward to building one up to prove all is OK and then I will post the design files on the minDUINO page. The main feature of this board is the prototyping area which I added to facilitate experimentation. I have emulated the style of many prototyping boards in that I have included two central rails for power or signal and sets of three points for adding components across chip pins.

minDUINO v1.7 Prototyping Area

I’m hoping that between versions 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 there will be a minDUINO to fit many criteria for experimenting and learning about AVRs.

[UPDATE]
I have now assembled a test board and it checks out. I have posted all the necessary design files on the minDUINO Page.
