New: BlimpDuino board version 5

BlimpDuino is in the hands of beta testers, so we're doing some last minute tweaks. The current code works on boards version 431 and up (don't ask about the numbering schemes--they're based on internal versions. When we release the commercial board, it will be called V1.0 as usual) . The newest internal version of the board is now V5.1. If you want to order and assemble your own boards before the commerical release, you're welcome to! Order the boards here. ($10 + $10 handling) The Eagle files (PCB and schematics) are here. Once you've built it, instructions for loading the firmware are here. Here are the SMD parts, with their PCB labels, values and Digikey part numbers (see below for direct links and prices)

Remember to watch the polarity of the LEDs ("+"s are marked on the board) and capacitors C1 and C4, which are also marked on the board. Here are the components you'll need (Digikey part numbers unless otherwise stated--prices given were correct at the time of this writing and represent total costs in the case of multiple units):

Total, including PCB: $94.56 (not accounting for any volume discounts you may achieve with multiple units)
