We've been playing with the Pick and Place machine, and thought about new projects. This one, besides just being plain handy, offered us a simple project to start adding surface-mount parts to!
The Ardweeny is proving to be a popular way to make a breadboard-friendly Arduino-clone, but after the prototyping is done, you still have to figure out how to get your Ardweeny into the real world.
Here's the new Ardweeny BackPack, in both plain and SMD LED version. Plug your Ardweeny into this carrier, featuring:
One of our first tests was using an Ardweeny for a dual-scale thermometer, ranging -50 to +50ºC on an analog (servo) scale, and 18 to 32ºC on the bargraph, on a laser cut base. It's a work-in-progress, but the cutting files & Arduino source code are available on the resource page.
