Sanguino Success Story (S^3;)

I just installed the Sanguino software on top of arduino-0017. I modified the bootloader for a 12MHz XTAL, flashed it and finished up two simple demo applications.

Everything went surprising smoothly. My compliments and thanks to the Arduino and Sanguino teams.

The few steps I did are listed at Loading...
It is a very simple install.

I did two application demos for a new prototype I am working on.
The code for both demos is listed under the "NB2A Applications Link" at Loading...

I modified the bootloader for a 12MHz XTAL

Sorry about the silly question..but does the Sanguinos generally run on a 12Mhz crystal instead of 16Mhz or is that just your setup? And isn't 16Mhz better (=faster processing)?

All of the boards I have done so far are 3.3V designs so they need to run
at a lower frequency. The positive things about 3.3V are --

  • Li-ion cells are 3.7V (I have a battery charger module complete).
    3.7V to 3.3V is about an 85% conversion efficiency.
  • Lower power consumption
  • XBee and Bluetooth radio modules (and many new semiconductors)
    are 3.3V devices and interface easier to 3.3V system.

Thanks..that's nice to know. I'm considering hooking up my own sanguino clone at some point. Allways good to hear succes stories :slight_smile:
