Single-sided Arduino-Leonardo board

C'mon, you can do better :slight_smile:

Where did you get a schematic to copy, I thought they weren't released yet.

most info here:

I don't think its far from official design, so final changes will be small

OK, no wonder I didn't see it, my Spanish is a little weak so I tend to skip that forum :slight_smile:

ISP header for bootloader?

yes

I think you should move your traces further apart. In most cases (ie the traces going to the digital IO pins), you have plenty of room...

Hi chaps,

since you've been following the Spanish thread I thought I would share with you the last events. The boards have arrived and are going to be beta tested by the vinciDuino team.

The boards look great. Currently waiting for components to arrive.

You can find all the information about the board: https://bitbucket.org/fmalpartida/vinciduino/wiki/Home

I will keep you posted.

Looks nice.

please use thermal pads on the ground plane

??frank ?? Looks like its covered with ground plane on both sides.

Maybe could have used some more around the regulator, IC2.

Thanks CrossRoads.

Not getting what you think is the problem frank.

The vinciDuino board is up and running beautifully:

  • UART working
  • USB working
  • I2C operational
  • ISP
  • digital IO, well I've only tested D13.
  • all supplies are good (external unregulated, USB, and UART).

Little picture from the vinciDuino board saying its first hello world!

The ATMega32U4 has a thermal pad on its underside.

Oddly the datasheet makes no reference to it whatsoever except for the footprint drawing which shows that it is present.

See sections 7.2 & 7.1.

The exposed pad only applies to the QFN44 (quad flat no-lead package) and not the TQFP44 (thin profile plastic quad flat package) as used on the previous post.
