Summary of DIY custom rugged Arduino


The article discusses creating a rugged, versatile Arduino-compatible board that is postage stamp-sized and suitable for real-world use, unlike typical breadboard setups. It emphasizes open-source hardware principles with detailed build instructions available on Instructables. The project aims to provide a durable Arduino version using basic components, inspired by a Kickstarter video and shared under a Creative Commons CC-BY license.

Parts used in the DIY custom rugged Arduino:

  • Microcontroller compatible with Arduino
  • Basic electronic components (resistors, capacitors)
  • PCB or perfboard for mounting components
  • Connectors or headers for I/O
  • Power supply components
  • Enclosure or casing for ruggedness

I love Ardunio. I love the things that people make with them and I love to make my own. Last August I published an Instructable on how to make your own postage stamp sized Arduino compatible.

Make your own custom Arduino compatible

This Instructable will show you how to to make a rugged, versatile Ardunio compatible with basic components on board. It will be more suitable for deployment in the real world than a bread board attached to a development board. This video is from the Kickstarter, but you can totally make your own.

This open source hardware project is licensed Creative Commons CC-BY. Part of my philosophy of open source hardware means I don’t consider a design released without detailed build instructions. Instructables is my favorite place to release those Instructions.
