electroFUN LTD: arduCHIP

The arduCHIP is a small compact board and breadboard-friendly based on the ATmega328. It has more or less the same functionality of the Arduino, but in a very small and compact package (20.6mm x 25.8mm - 0.8" x 1"). It requires a 4.5-5.5V regulated power source and its the perfect companion for the arduSTAMP.
The serial interface is fully compatible with the USB breakout board of the arduSTAMP or with sparkFun's FTDI basic. The arduCHIP is a very compact board that will allow you to have the full power of an Arduino on a small footprint.

The arduCHIP is meant for users that are familiar with the Arduino environment and are looking for a cost effective bare bones board to use on a constraint space project. If you are not familiar with the Arduino environment we recommend that you first buy the arduSTAMP or an Arduino Duemilanove or One (they are great boards and a very good starting point). The board is fully compatible with the Arduino software development environment.
You can order it in 2 assembly options:

Bare board
Fully Assemble

General description

AVR line

Our AVR line is an open-source Arduino-compatible project. We have thought of a line of small development boards that are fully compatible with the Arduino development environment. These boards are ideal for projects; with a small footprint but with the same performance as regular Arduinos.

The idea here is to make available the Eagle files you would need to make your own board variants and if you don't want to go through the hassle you can always order them from us.

We would also like to hear and see where these designs have gone into or any derivative work made from them. So please, keep us posted and we will share it with the community.

Licensing

While Arduino is a protected trademark, the name of our AVR line can be used freely and has an unrestricted license to use.

These boards have been inspired by the Creative-Commons 2.5 licensed Arduino reference design (please refer to the schematic file for attribution information). Boards are licensed for any use ( hobbyist, commercial, non-profit, etc.) under Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA). None of the board names are registered, but we encourage you to use it in any case and provide credit to the source.

CC3.0 requires you to maintain attribution to the people before you on the schematic, board files and any derivative work you do with them. You don't need to give attribution on the physical proucts that you might make with these files, but we would appreciate it.
