Discussions on the list highlighted great interest and demand for cheap Ethernet enabled Arduino compatible boards. A plan was hatched to produce a number of these boards for members and possibly for sale. Increased volumes would result in lower unit cost.

Meurig is currently constructing some similar boards using plans from Instructables and is therefore likely to be a good source of information. These boards are being etched at the space and are of 'through hole' type.

Board specification

  • Based on this Instructables project.
  • Surface mount to reduce size
    • PCBs supplied by a 3rd party
  • Arduino compatible
  • atmega328 32pin quad package

Rough plan

  • Agree on specification
  • Breadboard prototype
  • Design board
  • Build a prototype board
  • ...
  • Profit!

Individual interests

  • Elliot: Has components for prototypes and is willing to: prototype, make boards, write code, assemble, buy 4 of these boards.
  • t0m Would love to buy 2/3 SMT kits myself to practice SMT soldering. If someone is organising a load of these, would be happy to spend a weekend soldering them up for the practice. (My regular soldering is good, I've never done any real SMT however)
  • tomwj: I too would be interested in making, soldering and general prototyping/production of these boards and buying a couple
