Japanese Arduino enthusiast Kimio Kosaka has created a skeletal version of an Arduino-compatible board - not something spooky, but called this as there isn't a PCB. Instead, he connected the circuit up using steel wire, and soldered the components to the necessary points - creating a single-sided Arduino board without a PCB. Check it out in the following video:
If you're wanting to reproduce the project above - we've got you covered with our new ATmega328P MCUs with Arduino Uno bootloader:
This is the same Atmel AVR ATmega328P microcontroller used in the official Arduino Uno, as well as our Eleven, EtherTen, USBDroid, 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!
