Images are for illustration purposes only. E&OE Overview CheapDuino is the most affordable Arduino compatible processor in the world. The price for each cheapDuino is almost 1/5 price of the Arduino UNO.It's aimed to supply an extremely low cost solution for any disposable projects, such as DIY projects, workshop, gifts projects, E-Textiles and education. For those students from second or third world countries who can not afford the official Arduino, cheapduino opens the door to the physical world.The cheapDuino integrates a ATmega8 microcontroller as Arduino NG. So it's available to program it directly with Arduino IDE via the FTDI programmer or USB Serial Light Adapter. The cheapDuino is powerful in compact size, which is only 2cm x 2cm dimension.Although the cheapduino has extremely low price tag, we do spent lots of time to consider every detail of the product. The processor has 3 pwm digital pins, 3 analog pins and power supply interface with hexagonal pads around the board, which make it really easy to solder for the beginners. Of course, the I2C interface and serial port is also available to extend the 2 wire peripheral devices directly. The adoptation of micro FPC connector saves extra space compared with regular Arduino USB interface. "Cheapduino - Not just cheap"The picture aside shows a simple temperature display application based cheapDuino.So just pick one up, get started to control your physical world with cheapDuino now.Note:When plugin the fpc programming cable to DFRobot FPC programmer and cheapDuino, please the blue side facing upward.This kit comes with 5 cheapDuino, 2 DFRobot standard fpc programming cable and 1 fpc programmer adapter.The FTDI programmer is not included in this kit.We recommended you to buy one of the programmer below and mini USB cable if you don't have it.FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3/5V (Arduino Compatible)USB Serial Light Adapter (Arduino Compatible) Features Package Content :5x CheapDuino2x DFRobot standard 10p fpc Programming Cable1x FPC Programmer Adapter Specifications Working voltage : 3~5 voltsRecommended power supply : 5vMicroctonroller : Atmel AVR ATmega8bootloader(Board option in Arduino IDE) : Arduino NG / w ATmega83 digital pins, 3 analog pins with easy-to-solder hexagonal padsIntegrate 3 pwm pins,I2C interface and UART interfaceSuitable for workshop,education usage,DIY or compact size projects and E-TextilesLow cost Arduino compatible controllerDimensions: 2cm x 2cm x 0.2cm Downloads Schematic - cheapDuino v1.0 PDF File 114.41 KB Top Layout - cheapDuino v1.0 PDF File 63.51 KB References Product PageArduino Home PageArduino Software
