The project utilizes an Atmel8 AVR as the heart of the board to create an Arduino compatible breadboard. The USB to serial communication board used in this project utilizes a FT232 USB breakout board.

Here’s a no-PCB Arduino that doesn’t obscure the DIP footprint of the AVR chip. It’s built on an ATmega88 chip, and includes a programming header, reset button, a couple of filtering caps, and an LED.

The Arduino Esplora is a ready-to-use, easy-to-hold controller that lets you explore the infinite possibilities you have in the world of Arduino, without having to deal with breadboards or soldering.
