Project Status: Prototype Phase

If you do not have experiance with the Arduino IDE and Arduino hardware I STRONGLY sugest that you spend some time with the official unit before attempting this. You can fry USB ports on your computer, destroy your official arduino, or fry other essential components if you do not know what you are doing. 

To save money, most of my projects are built with a custom arduino. The tutorial for assembling a custom arduino can be found here: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Standalone.

Parts Lists:

Sparkfun

Digikey

Optional

You will also need wire, a breadboard or PCB, USB cable, some way to program the atmega168 IC, and some way to power the arduino. The 5v regulator can take input from a 9v battery. For programming, I use an Arduino Deumilanove and this tutorial: http://www.geocities.jp/arduino_diecimila/bootloader/index_en.html

Here is a different method for buring the bootloader. I havn't tried this one yet though: http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ArduinoToBreadboard.
