ardweeny 2 - how to customize an ardweeny
Ever since I found Arduino miniature
Controller last October (2010)
I am very fascinated by their versatility and ease of use, but I personally find that for some of my permanent projects they tend to be bulky and expensive.
Then I found Ardweeny and I loved the size and price of them;
After buying some, I made some personal improvements, especially after blowing the ATmega328 on one of them and finding it painful to replace it after derrier.
The concept is simple: reverse the PC board and weld the assembly across the street so that an atmega328 socket and some with connectors can be added for versatility.
These modified versions are intended for use in small permanent items and they are not suitable for use on breadboards such as stock units (
Although there are two long heads, they can use this way)
Keep in mind that the serial interfaces are blocked when installed on the breadboard, making them inconvenient to program.
If you would like to use them in the breadboard, please follow the kit instructions in the letter, my only suggestion and suggestion is to add the female title, not the bar provided, see Step 4-
Install the female socket strip so that you can get an extra set of connections when inserting smaller breadboards.
What do you need: 1 Ardweeny kit1 28-pin DIP socket 2 female socket strips-
62 female sockets-
8 optional: LED in different colors (I like blue :)
Tools: soldering iron and auxiliary welding baton diagonal cutting important precautions: from here, just follow the instructions provided by Ardweeny, except that you need to install components on the other side of the small PC board, the one that does not have a white label, take the time to make sure you install the component in the corresponding specified hole.
When you reach the 6-pin serial band connector, use the relative crocodile clip to keep the serial band connector in the welding position. 1)
Insert a 6 and an 8 female socket strip on one side. 2)
Insert the 14-pin public bar header at the top of the two public bar headings to keep it aligned. 3)
Repeat steps 1 and 2 on the other side. 4)
After both joints are in place and aligned, turn them upside down for welding.
The 28-pin DIP socket Pin needs to be slightly bent.
I use the edge of the table to gently press about 45 degrees outward to do this.
Take the time and slowly increase the angle until the curved pin is aligned with the title width on the PC board.
Once the pin is bent to a satisfactory level, align it on the board and I keep it in place with a small rubber band before soldering. .
Since I have a few Ardweeny now, I need more than one USB serial interface and found that the new interface changed the design slightly than the first interface I received and installed the master pin, making them thicker, it\'s hard to insert my unit.
I bypass it by using another 6 pin female pin as an extension, it works just like before the smaller shape change.
I am working on a small project that will use one of these Ardweeny 2, please keep an eye on for details.
* Update: here is: it is decided that each LED has a different color so it is easier to identify.
These chips can also be used to program or test individual chips;
Maybe by using ZIF (
Zero socket)
Instead of a normal 28-pin socket, the shape is not very practical.
At the beginning, I mentioned that these should be used for small permanent items and are not suitable for bread boards;
If you would like to use them in the breadboard, please follow the kit instructions in the letter and my only suggestion is to add the female title instead of the provided bar, see Step 4-
Install the female socket strip so that you can get an extra set of connections when inserting smaller breadboards.
The picture below shows two breadboard units with female head pins in one of my projects.
I hope you find this useful. Cheers.
