• 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

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

... wait a moment! Don't start clicking that mouse button quite yet! Down towards the bottom, below the a la carte items are some bargain bundles that can save you money.

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.

830 Hole Single Panel Breadboard

Standard breadboard, with power rails, with and slots an tenons for ganging multiple boards together.

4x20 Blue/White Backlit LCD Display w/Serial Controller

Crisp high contrast, white on blue LCD display with Wulfden's K107 serial LCD controller running at 19200 baud, complete with connecting cable

Experimenter's Pack

An assortment of items to get you started.

  • 10K/10K for 0-10 volts
  • 10K/4.53K for 0 to 16.03 volts
  • 10K/4.53K for 0 to 16.03 volts
  • 22.6K/4.53K for 0 to 29.94 volts
• 4 pushbutton switches

• 2 three wire 14" cables and pin headers
• a piezo sounder
• two 10K potentiometers
• a battery harness and a power connector terminal block
• 5 small signal diodes (1N4148/1N914)
• 2 power diodes 1N4001
• 2 each 2N3904, 2N3906, TIP41C transistors
• Cadmium Sulfide light dependent resistor (4-8K in light, 200K in dark)
• 8 0.1 uF capacitors ("104")
• 4 47 UF electrolytic capacitors

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.

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

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

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
