- The name "Arduino" is a trademark of the
Arduino team. The Arduino team has expressed the desire that the name "Arduino" should be used to refer only to
products created and supported by the Arduino team; see the Arduino website for more information.
- Many alternatively produced Arduino items are being created under the name Freeduino. The Wulfden,
Modern Device, and Fundemental Logic products listed below are offered as Arduino compatible items. While they are
completely supported by both their sellers and manufacturers, they are not specifically authorised Arduino products
and are not supported or endorsed by the Arduino team.
- Wulfden Freeduino/Sanguino chips ship with the ADABoot loader. While one could fudge a board selection from the list
on the Arduino IDE, we now have a customized set of entries that you need to simply append to boards.txt. Download the
ADABoot package, unzip the file. The filenames and folder names will
guide you as what to do. This will provide complete support for the ATmega 168/328P/644P and can be applied to
Arduino-0013 and later
Totally Open Arduino-Compatible Hardware Development
Listed below, in order of
ascending complexity are the various Freeduino (fully Arduino(tm) compatible) offerings from Wulfden. With
the exception of the Sanguino board, all of the offerings run the ATmega168/328 chip and each configuration will
run any program that will run on any Arduino(tm) board. Click on any picture for full size renderings and

RBFK328 RBFK644
This is what it says ... it is rock bottom ...
simply the barest minimal Arduino compatible kit. It will get you up and running on the Arduino IDE.
It contains the cpu chip (with bootloader),
appropriate chip socket, crystal, caps, reset switch and pullup resistor. (Basic RBFK does not
include P4 programmer, breadboard or power supply shown in pic)
This kit is offered with either the ATmega328P-20PU (a drop in pin-for-pin replacement
for the 168), or the ATmega644P-20PU (the Sanguino chip)

From Don Davis out at DorkBotPDX
in Portland, OR. This is a minimalist board, useful for skimpy budgets learners and yet makes a great
project board easy to interface to other devices

(formerly called the RBFK+) Based upon our collaboration with Paul Badger at
Modern Device the RBBB board is bread board oriented, but
can be equally easily mated to generic project boards. The kit is offered with a choice of .25A and
1.25A power supply. It is quite useful for development or as a runtime board.

Yet another collaboration with Paul Badger at
Modern Device, the BBB board is one of the most flexible Arduino
solution on the market. It can be configure many ways to suit the user. It can be easily made to connect
to breadboards, shield boards, Radio Shack proto boards, etc. The analog ports have multi-pin connectors
to supply PWR/GND to sensors

Based upon the Zach "Hoeken" Smith's work at NewYorkResistor. This is your
original Arduino on steroids. It uses the powerful ATmega644P which has 24 i/o's, 8 a2d's and
whopping 64K Flash/4K RAM/2K EEPROM and a second hardware serial port.

Since 10/1/2007, all Wulfden Freeduino Kits have been shipping
with ADABOOT - an Arduino(R) compatible bootloader based upon the Arduino
bootloader. "Lady Ada", Limor Fried, of
Adafruit Industries, made numerous corrections and
additions to bring us what amounts to being a universal bootloader. It is useable on old, new and
homebrew platforms with or without auto-reset capabilities of Arduino-0009 and the Diecimilia (R).
If you need a platform for burning bootloaders onto ATmega168 or ATmega644P yourself, take
a look at Wulfden's Bootloader Burners Shown here is the ATmega168 model.
