These few words have made me start to write about Ayoduino.
This blog is about my own Arduino clone called "Ayoduino". It took me few months to come up with this name. It is a combination of words: Ayo + Arduino. The word ayo is Bahasa Indonesia (Indonesian Language) which means "Come on, Let's go". So I hope I can spread the word to all to start learning Arduino by using Ayoduino.
Ayoduino is a different kind of Arduino hardware that can be split and stacked depending on what we want to achieve. It can be used in many applications. Let's see what it can do!
The basic ideas are as follows:
- Arduino Uno, for example, is comprised of three main components: an atmega328, a serial communication and a power supply or a voltage regulator (see Figure 1 below).
- For real applications, I mean after prototyping, we do not need the serial communication and the voltage regulator. A standalone atmega328 with crystal etc is enough. So that we can make Arduino much cheaper.
- For various applications, we need different circuits. These may not be included in Arduino.
- One should be able to make his/her own Arduino without difficulties in SMD soldering.
- Atmega828 can be programmed to act as a HID (human interface device) or other devices.
- Components/parts of Arduino can be combined/added and separated easily as desired.
- It is easy for prototyping with a breadboard.
- It is affordable. The components for making Arduino clone are easily obtained.
- One can make it using prototype pcb (holes pcb).
