We finally got a couple hours to get the programmer working. Well, it only took a few minutes more to get all 115 Atmega328p’s programmed with the Arduino bootloader. Here’s the pictures.

We’re continuing to unpack and organize our considerable pile of electronics and other fun toys. Here’s a picture of some new desks we are moving into. If you squint real close you can also see one of our minimalist Arduinos on a breadboard. We hope to have them ready for mass programming and testing this weekend.
Still waiting on a couple more parts and we can start putting the kits together but this is about 90% of what we need. For those wondering, there are enough components here to build 100+ Arduino’s! (Plus some extra stuff for other projects)

Kits will be offered to the public (without a PCB) in the next couple weeks. These will not replace a standard Arduino, and will not include a PCB or a programmer (USB connection). These are intended for advanced users who wish to build permanent circuits from their projects.
For those interested, the one-off kits will be available in the next couple weeks.
The final cost will be $7.50 + s/h. Parts list below:
qty part
(1) ATMEGA328P-PU with Arduino Bootloader
(1) 28-Pin DIP Socket
(1) LM7805CT 1A 5V Positive Voltage Regulator
(1) 16.0MHz Clock Crystal
(2) 22pf Capacitor
(2) 10uF Capacitor
(3) 10k Ohm Resistor
(2) 150 Ohm Resistor
(2) Green 3mm LED
(1) Wiring Diagram / Instructions

After all that painting/waiting we were able to start moving things in. We have a lot to do, but it feels great to be this far.
Here’s some pictures from a couple days ago on the progress of the painting. Enjoy!
(Note: we just have the primer coats down, I will post updates on the completed painting after the weekend)

You may have noticed we are going through a lot of website updates lately.
Please sit tight: most of the problems you are experiencing will be fixed over the next couple days, and we will start regular updates again.
Thank you!

As the new years comes around HackSLC will be moving to a new location in Provo. We will also be completely restructuring our space. Don’t panic, we still have plans for a future Murray / Sandy location.

If you have ever wanted to get into Arduino Programming, THIS is the class to take. Whether you have never touched an LED, or are an electronics pro, this will be a fun and educational class.
