Description
This kit contains everything you need to build your very own Uno-Compatible development board! Simply follow the Assembly Guide and after some basic soldering, you’ll have made a fully-functional Arduino-compatible board.
Note:
- You will need either an FTDI Basic or FTDI cable to load code.
- This kit doesn’t include the IC anymore, but you can buy it from here.
Board Features:
- Input voltage 5-24V
- Reserve protective diode and PTC fuse
- 16Mhz crystal
- Standard FTDI FT232RL programming interface

Great first project for someone learning to solder!

Work like original ! many thanks !

it took about 20 minutes to assemble the first one, the documents are perfect (very much like sparkfun read).
i put a very brief reference to here on my Blog as well,
Cheers.

Great for beginners as first solder exercise. Takes about 45 minute s for a beginner to solder – the socket for the CPU prevents it from overheating during soldering. Perfect!

bought a few more. still love them

This is a great beginner project and you end up with a board compatible with the Arduino Uno. Of course you’ll need the processor to go with the kit to complete the build, and an FTDI programmer also sold by ElectroDragon to load in the sketches. (see SKU #DPR1003). The board is extremely well labeled but you can find build instructions on the internet also, although you probably won’t even need them. This makes a great board for use in a project, low cost and high quality.

Soldering it yourself is more fun than getting one that’s already assembled 🙂

A couple of things to note:
1) this is based on an older Uno design, so it doesn’t have the pins that were added in R3 (IOREF and “Not Connected”). This in combination with the height and placement of the capacitors makes it incompatible with some shields, at least when assembled correctly.
(I’m going to try building another one with some extra lead on the capacitors so that I can bend them over and out of the way – I’ll report back on whether that was a success or not.)
2) The assembly instructions came from sparkfun, and in my case, the parts didn’t always exactly match what the instructions called for. Nothing that was too big of a deal, but it could throw off a beginner: some of the capacitors were a slightly different value, and the resistors were the correct value but used 4 bars instead of 3 so you can’t just go with the colors in the instructions.
Altogether, though, I’m very happy with the result and will probably be picking up a couple more of these.

very nice board as others have noted needs to change out the caps to a “STUBBY” or shorter ones … works wonderful and makes for a nice 1st time soldering job for beginners

sehr schönes KIT , hab jetzt schon 3 Stück.
das neue ist das beste, Kondensatoren sind jetzt nicht mehr so hoch.
perfekt.

Had good luck with your company when I first ordered back in 2011. Ordered 3 PTH kits
I had a problem with my second order, but it was quickly fixed so I gave five stars for customer support.
I will order from this place again.

For some reason Electrodragon put L7905 voltage regulator (minus 5V) instead of LM7805 (+5V) into all kits I’ve ordered
So I can’t assemble the board 🙁
yu.ed (verified owner) –
I got the replacement for my PTH Kits with correct LM7805 regulators. Thank you 🙂

Got my PTH kits the other day and they went together and worked perfectly.

Great product! Check the values—my set had three 100uF instead of two and one 10uF. Also, the red LED is far too bright. I used a 4.7K resistor instead.
