  • Are you confused ???  NG ... Diecimilia ... BBB ... RBFK ... Nano ... iDuino ... RBBB ... Boarduino ... RBBB ... and on and on ... so many names, so may variations in features ... here's a simple selection of Freeduino boards, fully Arduino (tm) compatible hardware, to let you get started for but a modest expenditure. If you want more than is show here go back to the main page or follow the top of page links to other product areas.

  • Are you a Rubyist? Did interest in RAD (Ruby Arduino Development) bring you here? We here at Wulfden have been part of the RAD software development effort for some time. We also have been supporting the effort with hardware donations to various team participants. Below is the hardware on which much of RAD is being developed.

  • When you are done ordering here, you may want to go to the appropriate pages for Freduino, K107, etc and look for the items you selected and get the links for the related manuals, schematics and/or datasheets


Totally Open Arduino-Compatible Hardware Development

Arduino Resources DVD

DVD (currently containing over 1GB) with the latest Arduino, Wiring, Processing and Pure Data software in all three formats, Linux, MacOSX, and Windows. In addition, there is a collection of third party Arduino libraries and a raft of sample software. There's over 100 MB of PDF files containing reference materials, articles, tutorials and general interest material for Arduino. There is a folder of relevant data sheets for the Arduino processors, related devices and peripherals.

This disk is included FREE with any Freeduino order totalling over $50

Wulfden RBBB Kit

Another breadboard oriented Freeduino board, the Really Bare Bones Board is based upon Modern Device's RBBB. The RBBB has an on board 1.5 amp, 5 volt power supply (requires 6-9 VDC) to handle just about anything you throw at it. It requires an off-board USB to TTL serial adapter ($15-20) or an RS232 to TTL adapter ($5) for programming.

I2C Real Time Clock and Data Storage

A single board containing a Phillips I2C bus that interafces directly to two pins on the Freeduino board and provides access to a battery backed up real time clock (DS1307) and two 64 KB serial EEPROMs (24LC512). The board also provides connections and resistor dividers, if needed, for the remaining four analog to digital ports (A4 and A5 being used for I2C). Libraries and sample code are already written to provide easy access.

$20 + $2

MemStamp - Simple I2C Data Storage

A small postage stamp sized board that wires to the I2C bus and provides access to a sigle 24LC512 serial EEPROM

$5 + $2

P4/P4A - RS232 to TTL Serial Programming Adapter

If you have legacy RS232 serial ports on your system or if you already have an USB to RS232 serial adapter, use this adapter to program the RBBB

$5 + $2

USB-BUB - FTDI based serial programming adapter. Electrical and software interface is identical to the FTDI TTL-232 cable. Requires USB mini-B cable. Can be readily used for many other projects. For more info see the Programming Adapter page
