Strip Boadrd Serial Audino (stand alone)

Good stuff! Did you use a CAD program to lay out the strip-board? And if you did, what program was it? Looks like a useful thing to know about!

Nope, just drew it out on paper, made it, then drew it up on photo shop (at witch point i started to notice all the ways i could have trimmed it down in size and work! Mk2 will be alot smaller!)

I made an Arduino-like gadget on strip-board, although it doesn't have a bootloader, and is programmed with an AVR in-system programmer. Photos are on Flickr, here: ATmega8 board | Flickr

Really like what you have done using the 16 female pin headers, will be nicking that trick!

could do with finding a way around fitting ISP onto stripboard.
