| September 5th, 2009 I bought a few more kits, but these ones come with PCB to solder all the components into. I plan on setting these up on a breadboard instead (I think I will put the ISP fully together though) of the PCB for my demos and tutorials that I will make in the future with these kits. Here are the kits I bought: *RBBB Arduino clone kit is a mini board designed for those experimental applications that require small processors, such as wearable computing, near space experiments, toy prototyping, artist's projects or any use for a fairly small, low-cost microcontroller. As far as we know, it's the smallest and most low-cost Arduino-compatible available right now. Link: www.moderndevice.com/RBBB_revB.shtml *ATMEGA8 Development Kit. This kit contains what you need to start building ATMEGA8 circuits. There are also a number of smaller components which assist in getting the Atmega8 working.

Not only are they quite compact, but the design is really elegent. The USB interface is achieved by using an atmega processor and the rest is done in firmware.

This chip was chosen because it is the cheapest one that has an internal oscillator (no external crystal/clock necessary) and enough I/O pins to give every LED a pin.
