Make your own Arduino-compatible circuit using a solderless breadboard

Although using a Freetronics Eleven or other Arduino-compatible board is easy and quick, when it comes time to make a final project or product the entire board may seem like overkill. An alternative is to build your own circuit around a minimalist Arduino-compatible and this can be done with a solderless breadboard - as shown in our tutorial.

Taking this explanation one step further is Mr Hobbyelectronics, who has created a video introduction to the tutorial and strongly articulates how easy it is to make your own minimal Arduino-compatible in no time at all. Check out the following video to learn more:

If you're wanting to build your own Arduino circuit as shown in the video above - a great starting point is our ATmega328P MCUs with Arduino Uno bootloader:

This is the same Atmel AVR ATmega328P microcontroller used in the official Arduino Uno, as well as our ElevenEtherTenUSBDroid, and other boards. Perfect for building your own Arduino-compatible project directly on a breadboard or on a custom PCB, or for replacing the MCU in an existing board. Comes with the Arduino Uno bootloader pre-installed. Better still, it even has a special label stuck on top with details of the pinout, so you don't even need to look up the datasheet when connecting it up in your project!
