Hello guys, I’m kinda new here. I always want to own an arduboy since it was release on kickstarter, but it’s a bit expensive for me. Then I saw this thread which give me a lot of hope that I can build my own arduboy, so after two days of breadboarding, tinkering, and soldering. I came up with this:
all the component has been laying around on my desk which are the remain components from other project and I can build the arduboy at the very minimum cost.
I can’t thank you enough for the people in this thread and also @bateske for making this awesome device open source
an update of my arduboy version. I make sandwich like build for the battery. I use a 3.7v 1000mAh lipo battery and wemos battery shield for power management and this build run for days on a full charge. I also solder the speaker to two pins and tweak the library so the sound wouldn’t be anymore problem but sometimes it gets too loud and perhaps a resistor will help reduce the sound
@CDR_Xavier I was planning making an arduboy shield pcb for the arduino leonardo, but since my leonardo was borrowed by one of my student and it never came back, I postpone the project. But since you requested, I might get into that in near time.
As for the board I am using easyeda pcb editor, it is a pretty basic tool for making PCB on a browser. You can use my design and have them order to a pcb service like PCBWAY, JLCPCB, or OSHPark and print the PCB on your own by just uploading the gerber file
send me an email at h.kusumah87@gmail.com and I will send the file to you if you want
My pcb just arrive today, and the quality is fine for $5 per 10 pcs. This is my first time making a pcb, and arduboy is a great starting project for me
