Where It Started...
Some time ago, I wanted to put together an arduino board with 2 pressure sensors (BMP180's) which have the same ID and cant share them, so one has to be done via I2C in software.
On top of this, I also needed to drive an OLED. Add a few LED's to drive and a MOSFET to switch on and off and lastly communicate with a device via bluetooth (over serial) you just dont have enough things on a 328 (arduino nano/micro/mini) or 32u4 (spark fun) to be able to drive all that (RAM, not flash). But the 2560 is way too large.
On top of this I needed something small that would fit in a custom case, be around the size of the pro mini/pro micro/nano or smaller.
Of course, there are other options, such as Teensy, however, i didnt want to waste a teensy for this and was ultimately inspired to build my own board as theres nothing in the arduino range that fits the bill.
In truth, part of me built is simply because I could, and that while there are a few options out there that would have worked possibly, building my own board had its attractions.
Enter takiuino v1.0:
And thus begins the journey towards Takiuino.
Arduino Compatible source is available here
More to come....
