Developers, makers
and enthusiasts searching for a super small Arduino 328 Core may be interested
in the Piksey created by BitsNBlobs Electronics based in Glasgow within the
United Kingdom. The world’s smallest Arduino 328 Core has been created to
provide a development board that offers all the features and performance of an
Arduino Uno in a tiny, quarter-sized board that’s breadboard compatible.
The quarter-sized
Piksey 328 offers a powerful Arduino development board and is available without
the header pins soldered, making it easier to fit into tighter spaces.
Specifications of the Piksey include:
– A 20 x 20mm form
factor – the Piksey core is smaller than a crown cap!
– ATmega328P:
16MHz, 32KB Flash, 1KB EEPROM, 2KB SRAM
– Voltage
Regulator: 18V DC wide range input voltage
– Breadboard
Compatible – 16 breadboard compatible pins
– microUSB:
Built-in USB-serial converter for programming
– LEDs: Contains
power and general purpose LED
– Reset Switch:
Tactile switch for module reset
The Piksey 328 is
really tiny compared to several other boards including the Raspberry Pi Zero
and the Arduino Uno – which have been used for reference.
