Yet another small size Arduino clone with XBee

Hi,

I uploaded photos of the FIO (Funnel I/O) module v1.0b yesterday. The prototype I have demonstrated to you at Oreilly Japan's office was PSoC based, but now it's an Arduino clone.

Key features are:

  • An Arduino clone with a XBee module (802.15.4 or ZNet 2.5)
  • Almost same sise as a FRISK box (but much thicker...)
  • ATMEGA168V @ 8MHz (a ceramic resonator is optional)
  • On-board DC/DC converter (austriamicrosystems' AS1322)
  • The schematic was derived from LilyPad Arduino v1.6

I'm sorry for trouble you, but it would be much appreciated if you give me any comments and/or suggestions to improve the design.

Best,
Shigeru Kobayashi
