redtop's Ferduino controller

A mega with screw terminals and rtc that would not be too hard to do
interesting

it's pretty much what Fernando did with his design, an all in one package, very clean and very nice

I like the stackable version, I've always liked having multiple components as apposed to one single unit because when things fail, and they do fail, it's easier and cheaper to replace a single component than to replace a complete unit but it is 10 times cleaner to have it all on one board and less connections usually means less problems in getting it all to work properly
 
just when you thought it couldn't get any better
led power indicator , reset switch , proto section , power breakout next to proto +3v, +5v and GND
RTC with jumpers to enable or disable resistors or use pins 18,19 or 20,21 or just disable entire RTC
Terminals to back feed your arduino with regulated 5 volts plus reverse polarity protection and of course screw terminals for all pins

that looks very nice Marc
 
wow that board has changed a lot in the last 24 hours looks really good.. Marc toss a couple over here I will solder them up
 
What are you guys up to now? Why am I seeing lots of boards :spin2:, are you guys planning to hack something or what? :confused: Sorry, I was too busy rebuilding my transmission and the engine for my van. One quick question, how many led channel (LDD) I can run for the Ferduino board? You guys have a good night!

the Ferduino has 5 LED channels, red, white, blue, royal blue, and violet, I changed the blue channel to green in my version but it can easily be changed back if you'd rather it be blue....you can use as many LDD drivers as needed on any of the 5 channels though
 
Cool! Thanks, Willie and Fernando. Mine still in the slow process, I completed buying my parts list for the ferduino some are already here and I'm still waiting for the mega and the 7" tft screen coming off from china. I'm still clueless what is the next part list should I buy to power these things up.

I'm using this power supply for mine

if you can get a hold of one of the latest boards that Marc has designed, hook up will be easy, otherwise you'll need to tap into the 5v pin of the USB port on the Mega so that you have the voltage protection

this power supply is regulated so the 5v will remain stable and not fluctuate like most wall warts do, I'm sure there are more power supplies that will work but just be sure it is 5v regulated and around 2 amps

more is better in amperage if you plan to power relays or other accessories with it and 6a like the one above should take care of about anything you'll add that requires 5v to operate
 
Hello,

I am following the ferduino instal video exactly but when I go to compile I get the following errors. What am I doing wrong.

Rott no I'm just keeping occupied in between taking care of marcus who happens to be doing extremely well I'm just making a couple shields with screw terminals

Marc
 
willie I like that new screw shield you showed the pic of in the other forum I think I have the gerber files for that one with rtc on board also
 
Rott it is the beginning of a screw shield with two ulns and port expander that's about it the pin headers are just to interconnect between shields
