Two new Arduino-compatible boards are out and are now listed in
my big spreadsheet of boards.
The
ArduPilot Mega by SparkFun ($60) is an extension of the original
ArduPilot, but as its name implies, now sports an ATmega1280 as its main processor. Designed to be the brains behind a
UAV or
radio-controlled flying vehicle, it's all ready to hook up to a GPS receiver, servos, RC I/O, accelerometers and gyros, etc. It's amazing how much is packed in there-- it even has a secondary ATmega328 and multiplexer.
From
Spikenzie Labs, the folks who make the
Voice Shield and Altoids tin-sized
Prototino comes a
"SIP" (Single In-line Package) Arduino-compatible board "
Sippino" ($16 kit). It can be mounted vertically or horizontally in a breadboard and has a 6-pin FTDI breakout header for programming, though no power regulation or reset.
