This is the Seeedstudio Freeduino USB Arduino Compatible Microcontroller Kit. Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the Processing/Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer. The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows and Linux).
Arduino received an Honory Mention in the Digital Communities section of the 2006 Ars Electronica Prix. Some new features available in Arduino diecimila, implemented in this Seeedstudio Freeduino USB Arduino Compatible Microcontroller Kit:
• AutoReset: It is possible to upload compiled sketch to the MCU without pressing the board reset button
• USB over current protection: A resettable polyfuse protects the USB port from over current and shortcut situations
• New bootloader with 1 second delay
• Easy to solder board
The FT232RL chip is pre-soldered, eliminating the most difficult component to solder. The rest of the components are easy to solder through-hole. From metal film 1% resistors to standard resistors for easier value reading are also switched for novice users. You only need a soldering iron, some solder and a multimeter and soldering skills.
