Standalone perfboard arduino setup

Here's a handy tip: Tired of setting up standalone on the breadboard? Well I was so I built this little "Arduino" on a piece of perfboard. The board has a reset button, 16 Mhz crystal, two 22pf caps and two 100nF caps and a 6-pin ICSP port. The ATmega328P is hiding below the perfboard on the breadboard. The whole setup is only just a little bigger than the ATmega328P. Very bare bones setup, but very handy when you want to test something on a breadboard quickly and you don't have an Arduino Nano nearby.

Now back to working on the actual project, a hacked musical plush toy :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing.
Many of us purchase a quantity of Pro Minis for proto board use.
