The Daily Duino

One of the students in my arduino class this summer painted an awesome painting of the Duemilanove.  It is going to be used as an aid for pointing out parts in the next class I teach.

Its just like my Diecimilia’s except that when I have a shield on it, its so much easier to change the power supply. (from usb to 9v external)

Here is a pic of my new baby along with some other boards.

BEHOLD!… the Arduino USB board has evolved from the old “Decemilia” to the new “Deumilanove”!  Just like a fine wine, the Arduino keeps getting better over the course of time.

The new Deumilanove offers a few improvements over previous Arduinos including:

• automatically selects the appropriate power source (USB or external adaptor), eliminating the need for a power selection jumper.

• easy to cut trace for disabling the board’s auto-reset (and a solder jumper for re-enabling it)

• Read the complete overview of the Arduino Duemilanove:
